Keep in mind RetroArch is not a emulator, but a frontend for other emulators that implement the libretro API.
And it sucks balls. You have to go so many layers just to get into a game. We need an attractive mode for Switch MAME.
@@ien2023 the comment was 2 years ago go find someone to talk to. Retroarch isn't the only thing "sucking balls" Who says that (dude man that like sucks balls) no wonder you're commenting on a 2 year old comment you dont have any friends talking like a 5 year old. Beat it kid scram you're excused
@@ien2023 Yes... baddest Tool at all.
@@ien2023 if you would take the time to make retroarch to your liking it can get to games in a few seconds
I'm saving up for a switch this month coz of your tutorials.
Make sure you don’t buy one that doesn’t support jailbreaking and watch the first video on the playlist 👍🏻
@@appleseedenthusiast Yeah, I already watched the 1st Video, I know the ones I should look out for. There's actually a good number of Jailbreakable switches in my country's market coz most people here aren't interested in it and buy either a PS4 or Xbox One.
@@jabalngamau4599 Did you buy the switch?
@@mohammednayim Nah. Covid fuked me like everyone else so the cash had to be used for more important stuff. I will probably just have to skip it and save up for a PS5 instead coz now it's pretty super difficult to get one that can be jailbroken using software.
Dude, just play on an emulator…you don’t need a switch if that’s all you want to do is play those older games
Super obscure, but this somehow helped fix problems I was having with my RasPi Mint Pi build. None the less thanks !🙏
obscure? how so?
@@VTuber_Clipp3r he was fixing a raspberry pi with a switch video lol
Don't mention ROM sites in videos if you want them to last
Douche
@@wildgrem elaborate
Austin Carter greatest reply to a mean comment
@@austincarter9523 my bad, was talking to pixelplay my dude! Reply didn't @ them. When the guy started throwing out ROM sites in his vid I was cringing hard.
@@bloxotrotbt4732 Lol ok.
Awww I can only imagine Simpson’s Hit and Run on the switch
That's also what I want
Does it run on there?
Damian Bushay You would need a GameCube emulator
Can 100% run the gamecube copy of the game through Lakka
It's not strong enough to emulate it. They share same chip set as invidia shield TV. Dreamcast and ps2 emulation not really possible at the moment..
Yes your honor, i do legally own the roms to all my emulated games
I’ve been wondering what the alternative was for granting permissions to run n64, everything else has worked like a charm for me. great info thanks!!!!!
Yugioh Forbidden Memories is a dope ass game. I've spent so many hours on that game.
I love you bro now i can play OGs like oot i have taers in my eyes just wanna say i love you😢
Best video on TH-cam thanks
How do run Gamecube games on the Switch? I cannot find a gamecube/dolphin core on RetroArch
@@leo3663 my joycons seems to not function on that emulator.. do you have any solution for this?
@@anonymous2.05 check that the controls are blinded correctly, it should have an option to bind the controls to the switch ones, but if that doesn't have switch binding well we are dead, binding cannot be possible trough the games though, you must map them trough the emulator app itself
I'd love to try this as I would like to play old Klonoa games while i'm lounging in bed. I feel though that I may fuck up something lol guess I'll just stick to wishful thinking. Great video though. If I ever get my hands on another switch I'll def attempt.
MASTER THANKS FOR OPENING MY EYES
Some of my ps1 games have no sound when the game starts, how can I fix this?
Steve Clarke old comment, but if u still have this issue make sure u have the file that MW said you don’t need. The .cue file manages audio and audio timings.
Gonna do this when switch pro launches
And how exactly do you plan on modding it?
@@yuh42011 Going to do the modding on my OG switch not the pro one
@@RennKurusu ah ok
Can you do another video or something when you can homebrew a switch at the latest 8.0.0 update
so much early 2000 nostalgia
I’m still on a Jtag, I don’t won’t to mess with my Switch just yet, but I will by the time next gen comes along. The switch would be the best Retroarch machine on the planet.
Use a HBL nsp instead off R+applet so you get full ram access.
R+App is built into Atmosphere so there is no need to install the nsp version. Also the nsp version doesn't always work.
Can anybody tell me how well GameCube runs on switch before I start to do things?
im actually currently downloading it, what are some good gamecube games and ill try them out and let you know
@@beandip742 Smash Melee best GC game imo
Karat super Mario sunshine
Do they have Mario strikers???
Just overclock and put overclock settings to 30% and its perfect
Retroarch is such a bad UI. You have to jump through hoops just to get to a game. We need CrazyMac to fix Switch to what they did with PS Vita.
Super tuto, mieux que ceux de mon pays ;)
Could you do some tutorials on sxos emunand and being able to play online with the two nands.
you play your original games and free to play games using the original SYSTEM NAND (ie: SX OS turned off.. or not booted) and your backups on SX OS. You cannot play backup games online or risk being banned (unless they are your own backups - which have tickets etc. identifying them as belonging to your specific Switch console).
Why do you extracted the file from the zip? Isn’t RetroArch capable of reading the files within the zip file?
I inserted the SD card back into the Switch after copying across the ROMS, but can't load the Atmosphere menu when opening the gallery. Holding R & pressing A doesn't work either. Any idea why?
ive got the same isuue, just lods the real photo album
My atmosphere keeps crashing when I try to run a ps1 game any help
SAME
Can you please show us the DS Emulator performance with with newest games?
Got the dead cells dlc so now I’m trying to get the og castlevania
Wait.. So you're telling me I can play Beyond Good & Evil on Switch ? HOW
Cool video. I liked and you have a new subscriber.
Imagine playing Super Mario Galaxy 2 on Nintendo switch
I was looking into it today actually, it's weird I stumbled upon this. xD
can we play ps 2 game yet??
I was almost buying a retro game for $170 because i thought my switch lite wasn't allowd to emulate, after that im definetely stop looking for another device, lets play everything
Can you use multiple switch pro controllers with emulators? Would love to have a 4 player emulator machine!
I think its possible i did it on mario party 3
Awesome videos. So if the atmosphere cfw is installed does it load evertime until you reload your saved firmware? or do you need to flash/load cfw each time you want to play? Sorry if it's already been asked, couldnt see it. 😀
@moddedwarfare
Just found my answer: auto Rcm mode and then store payload onto an Rcm loader and use + button to find user 1 (fusee primary.bin) payload. 👍
Hi how are u I’m new to the switch seen coming from the psp seen love tutorial 2 it was very informative to me but I can’t find your video 1 showing how to hack so even tho I watch a lot of ur videos I still do not know how to get pass step 1. Step 2 which I’m assuming is from video 2 I understand from that point
that video got taken down. he has a link in the description that takes you to another site where he has all his videos
Just a quick question. Do you have any issues with sound via hdmi? I have no sound 😢
I have an issue. I can Download the cores but they don't show up in the load Code option.
great vid, can i aks why do you hold down r in albums? i thought you just do this when you enter retro arch..
Why did you recommend Emuparadise? It's a well known fact that they shut down and removed access to all their roms.
ᵗʰᵉNight★Star Emuparadise still works. You just need the Tampermonkey workaround script
@@satan2080 Good answer, SilverEEVEE X :thumb up:
Its been back up for months :/
Wait what? Actually?
@@MorrisseyMuse Whoa whoa whoa! Clue me in here? I haven't been in the scene as much.
Are you still able to purchase modern games from the Nintendo store with a modded switch?
When I try to download retroarch it just crashes...
Edit: Nevermind launching homebrew from a game seems to have fixed it.
Do you need to have a legit cartridge, will downloaded games work?
@@WheeledHamster If your still wondering, yes the downloaded games will also work as long as they are legit eShop games
how do i even get the same UI you have? mine is all bugged
Thanks
Eres un maestro
Always when I try starting Retroarch I just get a error message to restart my console
Looks like the PS4 will be left aside for some time, the devs are not mentioning anything anymore.
Retroarch is not coming up on my e store? Also o am in Scotland too so it can't be a region thing.
You can get after market USB n64 controller and can get adapter for USB C.
Wonder if it has controller support?
Or just get a $20 3rd party pro controller and map the buttons to it. It's better. :p
In the blur that’s Zelda ocarina of time it’s odvios
How to play MAME games on Switch? I tried all other emulators work but not the MAME ones. I want to play a retro game called Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. Please try it and let me know. Thank you.
Can you make a tutorial on how to restore a switch nand? I attempted to update a banned switch to 8.0.1 I have a back up nand but idk ho to rewrite it. The SXOS wont accept my nand back up. It will write read0 and read1 but it wont accept the rawnand.bin file
I notice that episode 1 is missing...
Please help i want to install batocera like a linux or ubuntu system its better for emulation than retroarch emulator app on system switch
Great video once again.
I have the cfw and everything working etc apart from retroarch. I get a black screen everytime I try and load a game/rom.
Any ideas??
Thanks :)
I'm running 8.0 firmware.
Try running it with full access...to do this instead of holding R and hitting A on the Photo Album do it on an actual digitally installed game which should also load the HBM then load RetroArch from there...alternatively...install the Retroarch NSP but be warned you may be banned by Nintendo!
Hi thx for the vids, im new in this, just got a V1 switch with tinfoil, if not mistaken ur way is yiu download retroarch straight frm the wifi to the console right, can i download the installer 1st to my windows laptop and drag it to the console that attached to my laptop via usbc? Thanks
Question, when I plug my SD card into my pc, it only shows a Nintendo folder with files, there’s no switch folder, anyone else experiencing this or know what to do?
Do i have to used a sdcard tho? Or can i used a cable to conect my switch to my computer to send the roms?
Me for emulations psx,n64,GC,gba,Xbox and Xbox 360 and psp,psvita with everything included.
Can you even jailbreak the newer models of the switch?
Please show me how to run amiga emulator in retroarch with floppy disks change.
My things is being weird , when I download the ps1 and ps2 games they come out as disc image files
I’m debating on weather or not I want to get home brew on my switch for this
Can you speed up gameplay? Like other emulators for pc, speeding up gameplay by like x2 for Pokémon
Update: you can, just gotta bind the key in settings
ive been seeing people that get like ps5 emulaters how do u get them
Hey... I made previous steps.. I get into homebrew.. Download retroarch but whet I am trying to load core is saws me an error... Any idea???
I’m looking into buying a switch to jailbreak and download this emulator. My question is this video still accurate on what to do?
if you want to mod any switch make sure its v1. the reason it is moddable is because of a vulnurability in the CPU that cannot be patched. however the switch v2 fixed that issue along with better battery life and maybe a few other features. as for this video im not sure but i dont see any reason why it would have changed.
Whta about the dreamcast emulator and sage naomi? Do i have to download the bios in order to run them?
Are you still able to purchase games from Nintendo or do you lose all access on the modded switch
You'd lose access. In order to do this without getting your account banned, you'd have to block out all Nintendo services so that they can't trace any issues that may happen to your switch unit. If you still want to access online features and Nintendo services, you would unfortunately have to get another switch system.
Could you do all of this on a switch lite as well?
Yes
@@renatocruz4511 you need to mod it with a mod chip thats rare to find and expensive also requires micro soldering
Could you play wii,game cube or wiiu games on the switch?
Is there a way to avoid getting banned?
Absolutely, abstention (same as pregnancy).
@@mchvz_ in case of pregnancy, you can use contraceptive pills.. so my question is, are there contraceptive pills? Plus, is there a way to abort the baby?(unban banned switch)
@@FoxTamerMGO1995 but they're not 100% effective arent they lol.
Joking aside, nobody knows, Nintendo is laying low, could be analyzing data from consoles and it could do a perma ban to everyone later on. Of the few consoles banned, it's not possible to remove the ban (Google it).
Do it at your own risk.
@@mchvz_ Thanks for the reply XD
Nintendo can't really detect these kind of online activities. However u need to make sure u turn on Airplane mode before u start playing just in case. Also dont go on eshop with the cfw on and u should be good
Is this EMU still the best for PS 2 games?
A little note that part 1 isnt on playlist
I really want earthbound on switch
So do i have to jailbreak my switch first?
Do i missed the Gamecube part? How dos this work aand is there a way to emulate Wii games too?
Also what video driver do we use our switch or gl
Can you run a wii emulator on switch?
Try citra emulator on switch.
I just tried a ps1 emulater and a psp emulater
- Tekken 3 (the only ps1 game I downloaded) ran very slowly, not really playable.
- When I tried running a psp game it crashed atmosphere and I had to reboot (I tried with a few psp games)
Do you maybe start the hbmenu through album?
@@OneChaos1 yeah I did try that and it stopped crashing to the atmosphere page shown in the video but the games would still not load.
That being said if the device had trouble emulating tekken 3 (ps1) I doubt it would emulate psp games any better, so I stopped trying
I have a question, if you get banned from nintendo online, can i still play rocket league online? Or only first party nintendo games online service? Thanks in advance to the switch pro's !!
Also when I download a core it doesn’t download the same way as you. It comes up with a grey bar and very slowly fills up with green. And it doesn’t download as farmer as you I don’t know if you fast forward it but its taking an hour to download one core
I know Nintendo is on this like wild rice, but damn I really wanna play my childhood games. Can someone please tell me if this is still safe to use?
As long as you avoid being connected to the internet while running custom firmware, you shouldn’t get caught. Also there are plenty of guides online that can help you avoid being banned. Also one of the first things you should do when jailbreaking the switch is create a backup of the entire system. This is usually for incase something in the system messes up and you can return it to normal, but it should also be able to unban your console since it’s restoring it to a point before it was banned. I can’t say the same for your actual nintendo account so I would recommend creating a second account just in case and use that instead of your main one.
@@KoiKittenVA it wont unban your console, once its banned, its done for. With that said, always make a backup still like any other modded console
Hai man i wonder if you know how to make parasite eve 2 run in retroarch on switch?
this is great
Are there any emulator options for Switch homebrew BESIDES RetroArch? I've only ever had nothing but problems with RetroArch.
yes there are tons of standalone emulators in the switch homebrew store
Is there any tutorial for ps2 emulator in switch?
The Switch can't handle PS2 or GameCube
@@samrivers5288 The switch can absolutely handle gamecube, but the default operating system which you boot into(horizon) doesn't have an optimised working port. For people running Lakka or Ubuntu which are both linux based fronts, their is footage of Zelda the windwaker running at 100% speed with overclocking ON THE SWITCH!!! PCSX 2 the only playstation 2 emulator to work decently, unfortunately doesn't work well with ARM cores, so playstation 2 emulation will probably never be possible, their is however footage of Original Xbox HALO gameplay running in Ubuntu on switch, despite running very slowly
@@samrivers5288 You could consider playing the many ps2 games available on Android for Switch...
Can you update if you install the emulator on your switch?
controls aren't working in the menu for some reason, it won't let me go up and down or left and right
Same do we have a fix ?
Would it be possible to play old pc games? Starcraft 1 and unreal tournament 1999
It isnt possible... but it might actually work, if you put a folder with the exe file and everything else, it will be possible to run old games or even new games with just a file reader on the switch, but be careful, if you misplace a singular file from the folder, you'll have to play a puzzle game just to fix it, it should alert you which file is wrong and where I needs to be, just don't go overexited there, just because you may as well play half-life or even gmod on it does not mean it doesn't lag a bit, but lags should be rare due to being straight off able to pull that rtx on zelda
whenever i open the retroarc app the screen go black and and error message comes up. can you help me how to fix it? thanks
What do I need to download Retroarch also can I install roms on the switch by transferring them?
Can you have Dos games, PlayStation 2 games also?
I have an issue if you can help me with it, when i play my 64 emulator and start up kirby 64, either one of two thing happens, if i hold R and launch into the homebrew menu and select retroarch when i start up the 64 emulator none of my buttons work except the home button i cant even press + and - to open the retroarch menu this is only on my 64 emulator as far as i can tell though; but if i didnt launch a game while holding R and went just to retroarch i can use my buttons but it crashes once i select a level help please...
Can i run wii games? Cuz retroarch needs the dolphin folder
Do you have instruction to use mame roms? I want to play the RunNGun2 basketball game. Some of them are in zip files and just to check if they need to be extracted as there is a lot of files inside it. Or can leave it as zip file Thanks
Zip files for other emulators must be unzipped mandatory, but if it's the n64 emulator, for some odd reason you can play even if its zipped, if all you want to do is save space then unzip it and uninstal the zip, and leave the unzipped files alone
Will this work on Nintendo switch light
JonJon2627 not as of now
Yes fatboi
I use Atmosphere, and retroarch didn't run in my switch, it crashed it. What can I do? Are there other emulators just as good?
Are you going to update any of your videos for firmware 8.0?
