This is unfortunate. The switch is probably coming to the end of its life soon. As soon as Nintendos next gen (announced or not) console is released, the switch will be a legacy system and emulation is important for archiving purposes.

This does make it less likely that i'll be buying any Nintendo products in the future.




I suspect that the "Switch 2" is going to be like the GameCube -> Wii, where the hardware is backward compatible and largely just a faster version of the previous generation. Essentially being a suped-up Switch means Yuzu could immediately work much better with whatever they come out with next. I think that is why they are going after Yuzu now, to try and get ahead of another Dolphin situation occurring much earlier in the lifecycle. Should Nintendo get a favorable ruling, this would open a huge can of legal worms for the tech industry as a whole.


has nvidia worked on the architecture behind the tegra in the last few years? i'm not certain that's possible tbh


I primarily work with implementing high-level CUDA, which enjoys a lot of attention. My impression is that while breaking changes exist, they are worth the effort to port forward. I cannot tell you how they treat game designers, but my perspective is that it is unfortunately still way ahead of ROCm. I could see Nintendo making it work for the titles they deem strategically worthy.
