Quick note! Had to mute Crazy Taxi due to copyright music, so sorry for that. Also, sorry for the mic issue - new mic and it apparently changed some settings.
Thank you for testing all this, just what I was looking for! I just installed Android on my OLED Switch and will likely only use it for PSP, Moonlight and Xbox Gamepass. Surface Duo 1 + Nacon MG-X controller takes care of everything else listed here (4:3 content, DS, 3DS) very well.
My only concern of the Surface Duo 1 is the battery. As far as I know, if the battery dies you cannot replace it, right? Then all of the retro memories we create with this device will be lost? That is the only thing holding me back from getting a Surface Duo 1 (and instead... Wait for the prices of Galaxy Fold to drop to pick one)
That's great for anyone that has a modded OLED switch I have the rg405m it's my new favorite system I never owned a GameCube but now I'm able to play some GameCube games right now I'm playing Super Robot Wars GC English translation and it plays at full speed using the MMJR2 emulator the only thing is that during the battle animations the battle messages aren't being displayed correctly, it probably is the emulator
Can you PLEASE PLEASE provide links for the emulators you used or the versions at least?? I have a lot of difficulty figuring out what mmjr or nightly build or canary should be used....😢

Don't forget you can also downscale on Dolphin MMJR so .75 resolution could probably run lightweight stuff like Mario Kart and SpongeBob Battle for Bikini Bottom.
I'm a bit late to the discussion, but how is performance on Dolphin with "culling" enabled? It should greatly increase performance, although I do notice graphical bugs with effects like the time travel mechanic in Skyward Sword. If Dolphin can run well enough on Switch, then that makes the Switch a replacement for basically every other Nintendo console outside of a few stranded Wii U titles like Xenoblade X and... well, that's all I can think of for titles that haven't been ported/replaced on Switch.
@@beardalaxy It can be argued that Wind Waker's definitive version is the original (the HD one has a downgraded lighting system that clashes with cel-shading), and most of its enhancements can be implemented with Gecko codes on Dolphin), Twilight Princess HD and GCN are basically the same except Miiverse stamp collection added as bloat with any enhancements able to be added through Gecko codes as well, and Star Fox Zero's definitive version is on the 3DS (Star Fox 64 3D) (or N64 if you're a purist).
So, is it possible to use WIFI on this android iteration? iF it does then XCloud and GeforceNOW would make the switch (specially OLED) a great handheld.
Can you share the settings you used for the wii/gc emulation on android? Also how did you get the joycons to work with dolphin on android? Mine doesnt work

This whole time I’ve been wasting thousands of munnies on video games and finally I’ve come to my senses and bought a modded switch for $500. I can’t wait to start saving some actual munnies instead of spending them on trying to obtain every single game. From now on I buy only modded systems. I nearly went broke and I’m down to my last $5,000. Upon discovering I’m my own worst enemy when it comes to spending habits I learned my lesson, kicked my own butt, flagellated my self, slapped my self silly and now the video game trance I was under is broken. Ma, Pa, if you’re reading this I’m sorry. I’m a huge disappointment. I’m a spoiled man child with a neck beard. God Jesus, I’m sorry I spent nearly all your money on frivolous things instead of giving to your cause. To combat my spending habits I’ve become an internet thief stealing games, porn, and movies. I don’t deserve your forgiveness but I know you forgive me anyway. If this describes you the person reading this, give your life to Jesus. Only Jesus can fill the deep void that is in your heart. God loves you and so do I.❤
Man I wish I could do my switch like this anyone know where I could just send my switch 2 and just pay them to do it for me I don’t have a PC or the know how I would probably just brick my shit if I tried someone help please
Mk8 deluxe definitely doesn't have the same experience of Mario Kart Wii. Even the menu screen is a important thing for the nostalgic experience of Mario Kart Wii

Android 11 bro?
Android?
For DS and 3DS emulation, get a joycon flip-grip and play in portrait mode, preserving the vertical form-factor and getting more screen real-estate!
Android gets switch, and the switch gets android, fair trade lol
True lol
Lol switch chipset originally is for android, forget the INVIDIA Shield 🤣🤣🤣
Imagine emulating android on switch, and emulating switch through the android emulator
A life for a life

Who's better (retro emulators) ? Anbernic or Nintendo switch?
can't wait to emulate switch games on my switch!
just a heads up your audio seems to be left only
your mic specifically - game audio is stereo
Appreciate the heads up. New mic, been a disaster since getting it. I think I know the issue, I'll fix it for the future. Thank you!
"There arent any vita exclusives left"
was that a tease? **STARES IN SOUL SACRIFICE DELTA**
Also Killzone Mercenary, LittleBigPlanet Vita, Uncharted Golden Abyss and some others
phantasy star nova is another vita exclusive
Deez nuts
it's crazy how hard it is to emulate n64
Not really, the N64 had a really archaic Architecture. One that's heavily inefficient today.
Also Saturn, PS2, Dreamcast (Windows CE games are really demanding and still in 2023 there are games that don't work), Atari Jaguar and Nintendo 64DD
n64 is very easy to emulate lol
not with high compatibility/accuracy, we're getting there but not quite yet@@Robstrap

What 3DS emulator did you use for this video?
I feel like this is good for me. I wanted to get a retro andriod handheld but I do have a modded switch. I would love to do this to play old games etc
What are you using for PS2 emulation?
Which is better for emulating gamecube and ps2 games? ubuntu or android?
Switch should turn on performance mode in settings. Or at least overclock to a normal tegra clock.
How do u have it running so smooth and how did u get your joycons to work
if you hadnt already figured it out you have to dump the bluetooth data in hekate
Mario kart wii is still worth playing

You play on android nitendo switch or stock firmware switch
Very cool! Do you know of a guide / tutorial to set this all up? I'm hoping it will handle Luigis mansion for the 3ds

What emulators are you using?
When you say it runs better here "than the switch side" what you are you talking about? What do you mean?
This is running Android, Switch normal operating system is HOS.
Should i get a modded OLED switch or v2 switch thats already modded on alxpress

My switch running android 11 says aethersx2 isn’t available for my device. Is there a workaround? Or was this not a problem during your set up?
I don't recall, but I sideload all my apks.
@@JoeysRetroHandhelds Do you by chance have a tutorial on sideloading the apks? Relatively new to switch modding so the whole process is new to me.
Unfortunately I don't, it's just Android so downloading an APK and clicking install is the only steps.

Been a while, but I'm pretty sure they aren't - IIRC I tried and it wasn't able to.

I havent mod my switch yet and would love to mod, thnxs. If you can really recommend some mods and stuff to play emulators and android.
What settings did you have for citra android?
I believe you can do some modding to fully unlock the switchs full speed and performance. I heard you can achieve some great speeds and performance.
its called overclock and with that games like pokemon scarlet violet run smoothly and have almost no issues
I just need play ps2
Can i overclock? To get high performance?
can u split the top screen to the tv and touchscreen on switch tablet when playing ds and 3ds games ?
The switch is not a wiiU gamepad its the entire console
