Did they finally fixed the issues with emulation of titles like Ocarina of time? Really interested in trying it out but the news about the issues are holding me back.

They did fix the N64 emulation issues, but the GBA emulation never had those issues to begin with

All of it?

There are occasionally very minor issues, stuff that most people won't usually notice. But the issues you heard about have all been fixed.

It is worth noting that no N64 emulator out there is perfect, and some of the titles on NSO are among the most notorious for buggy emulation no matter what emulator you use.

Edit: also the other emulators on NSO are pretty much perfect.

I just realised that on top of the potential issues with the emulation, you are not able to buy the game for good and have to "rent" it through their shitty only subscription. No thank you, I think I will than use the HD Fan remake for computer, even if thats more in a greyzone than legal.

Just downloaded it and it works like a charm! Awesome :)

Yeah that's fair enough. Can't blame you there.

Yeah I hate that too. I'll just get the subscription once to be able to play it on my switch and then unsubscribe. I wish I could just buy it but I don't need NSO otherwise. Too bad you can't keep playing once the subscription runs out. Normal NSO isn't even enough you need NSO+ :(
