That's not how any of this works
I know... you download the rom and run on emulator on Steam Desk that is illegal.
But if you dump your own rom you can use it... aka you buy the game you want to play.

Show me the receipts you are playing via emulator games you brought to Switch without having a Switch and we can talk more about it.

It is not weak it just you can't accept it.
You try to spin to emulator side.
Emulator matters when we are talking about best use of $500.

Which Switch games Dolphin exactly ran? None.
I have been able to run Zelda OOT with higher res graphics easily. I assume that many other games can run on the SD using Dolphin.

But when did the discussion turn into SD vs. Switch?

Zelda OOT is not even a Switch game lol

BTW did you own (paid Nintenod for) Zelda OOT original rom Or Vitural Console rom (the one you executing via emulation)? Reply honestly.

Who gives a shit if it's illegal? The point is the capability is there regardless.

So you too support to pirated games on PC? Because it is the exactly the same thing.
That is why I don't fit with PC crowd... they don't support the games they are playing and wants to shill lol

The opinion of somebody that play games via emulation without pay for it or download cracked games without pay for it is like a pun in the ocean... nothing.

Yeap with Yuzu with subpar experience.
Even so you are still doing it illegally I guess.
So here is an example of someone making a good argument when in disagreement from another user. I made the thread (which is highly controversal), listed my points and even gave proof of my findings. You are backed into a corner, so you raise the "illegal" flag because you are losing the argument. :ROFLMAO:

I actually own a Switch and several games on it.

I get your point about pirated games but we are talking about capability AND best use of $500 - again.

No you was backed in a corner and I choose to play your game because it is even worst argument...

BTW did you read your "console warring" weird pinned thread? Because you are doing the same here... well "PC warring"?

LOL. Where am I backed into a corner? You mentioned Nintendo games and I can't argue that you like them better. BUT I can argue that the SD can play those very same games where the PS5 can't run those games nor can the VITA.

That doesn't indicate me backing into a corner.

In any case, I want to say I appreciate the way you argue on these forums. You are a good addition to the site man. And I mean that sincerely. You are one of the rare few that can argue without resorting to personal attacks and I really appreciate that. (y)

SD is noisier, hotter, and short battery life because it has more powerful hardware. Are you saying that the SD should have had less powerful hardware than it does now just because it will run hotter and drain more battery life with the hardware it has? Essentially you are saying developers should stop at the Switch hardware and never try to push for more power because it'll be noisier, hotter and have shortened battery life.
No, I'm all in for advances in tech. But putting a X86 cpu in a portable device is not one of them. SD has all these problems because they tried to brute force the power into it, but with very low efficiency. Call me when we have a Steam Deck with ARM and the efficiency of a Mac Studio.
