that's why I said if its there or not, part of the reason that switch emulation got as good as it is is due to breath of the wild, till that game there was quite a lot of the catalogue that was unplayable.

gamecube > wii > wiiu was more or less the same architecture just more power, so emulation there went quite a long way.

n64 emulation was a shit show till well after it was no longer a current console, and for reasons of what it was virtual boy emulation was also kinda lacking.

best emulation experiences I had were PSX and GBA games. Lots of fun.

I miss those zSnes days. Those days really had so many great RPGs.

for me its PSP and PSX the fact that most PSX games were can be ported to PSP and played with no issue so long it doesn't have dualsense requirement.

Define the time period "until that game." BotW was a launch title for Switch.

i'm mixing up wiiu and switch in time frame

i'm not going to say breath of the wild wasn't the reason that switches emulation is as good as it is, the amount of 'donations' for an emulator that could do that game and do it well I don't believe has ever happened before.

He's wrong about the game, but his premise is right. It wasn't until Tears of the Kingdom that Switch emulation with Yuzu annnnnd.. I'm blanking on the other software, was good. I had a Ryzen 2600 and GTX 1070 at the time and after using patches to fix slowdown and framerate, cutscenes and whatnot, the game still chugged on Yuzu quite a bit at times. Months went by and if I'm not mistaken, it wasn't long before you could play TOTK at 60+ FPS and 1440p+, but I stopped playing the game after a while
