Pretty sure they're also using open source emulators, from the developers they really hate, to run their older titles. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 39 points 2 years ago (2 children) Idk their emulation is garbage except for the suspension and rewind. A lot of the open source emulation I have seen, especially of Nintendo products, is immaculate. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago Not to mention the selection of games available is pretty paltry. permalink fedilink source parent [–] frezik@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago Zelda 64 on the Switch was a mess at release, but the emulator has improved greatly since then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-fYXwxuFxQ permalink fedilink source parent [–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago That's just not true.
