Yes better battery vs OG switch.
So Mariko at 1.9Ghz CPU, 921MHz GPU and nearly 2GHz on the RAM matches OG Switch Battery life on average.
CPU and RAM has little impact on baterry because the moment you start using that amount of GPU OC, the switch is already using it max voltage.
Not worth the cost/time/effort to release an online-less port of GTAV, but apparently worth it to port three less successful online-less PS2 predecessors to new engines. shrug
Oh, I wasn't talking about the battery on the downclocking of the CPU, I was saying that the A57 CPU cores likely were hitting diminishing returns >2GHz so the power going to those CPU cores could rather be used going to the GPU, or just be reduced outright to allow the system to actually charge up when docked.
Actually the max recommended is indeed 2GHz on CPU, it wont affect the max GPU OC or made the system actually charge. But it can go up to 2.3 but it has a unsafe mark. you can see everything about Marikos OC in this github link: https://github.com/KazushiMe/Switch-OC-Suite (is ok to link github here, if not please tell me to delate it)
2,000 mhz * 2 (DDR) * 64 (bus width in bits) / 8 (convert to bytes) = 32,000 MB/s
Why would it be a wake up call when other online heavy games have been ported to Switch? Without knowing the exact issues of “poor online infrastructure” there is no way of knowing wheee the hold up is. Even then they had plenty of options to pick from then & now.
The delay would have had to happen a while ago to still hit 2023 if that was what they were trying to do.
On some level I can understand some of the pessimistic/hostile attitude towards Nintendo hardware discussion (the "that game trailer was secretly running on unannounced hardware" thing has never not been a problem), but I agree that recently it's gotten rather extreme and a bit detached from reality. There doesn't really seem to be much understanding that hardware development by nature can't really be a super reactive process, and, if anything the shortages lock in any existing plans they had even further instead of pushing things back a year or two.
I'm aware of the v1 overclocking. I didn't know V2/OLED models were actually hackable to reach those profiles.
I didn't think it was possible still with those speeds to reach 60fps Doom. 2x CPU, 1.35x GPU, 1.33x Bandwidth. And that's not even the highest speeds (docked V2).
Yes. When Nintendo finally announces something.
Oh wow, the Series X can’t compete!
Thank you very much! A decent boost to the memory bandwidth situation on the switch.
Thanks Nate!
This has been something they have been talking about since 2016 w/Iwata & (earliest) 2019 w/Furukawa. Even their latest quarterly results keep going in on how they must improve the service and retain customers.
Eh, it's fandom discourse as a result of fandom mythology regarding what they like.
I only have knowledge of GB/GBC.
The Nvidia partnership was their reset.
There a handful of games I doubt they’ll bring forward so those potentially are getting the emulation treatment
Yeah I know but even if the don’t go with NVIDIA again I doubt Nintendo wants to reset something their NSO ecosystem plus accompanying account system attached to it.
games won’t work though, probably.
It’s not like they haven’t started to go for 3DS remasters. Albeit, only one.
There has been recent development of CEMU on android. While it is still pretty fresh, I don’t doubt that Nintendo can do it for a Drake model, just that it is very difficult and probably not a priority at all as they are just porting the Wii U games to the Switch at the moment. Most of them anyway.
No. The Wii is still more powerful than the GameCube. Sunshine ran on a GameCube emulator running at it's limits in Super Mario 3D All-Stars, Galaxy was a hybrid port/emulation combo
Thanks Nate!
I wouldn't expect GCN until there is new hardware. It's not technically impossible on the Switch, but the level of development effort required would be reduced greatly on a more powerful chip.
The reason Galaxy is run as a hybrid isn't because the Switch can't emulate it. It was recompiled so they could implement gyro and touch controls. The Tegra X1 in the Shield TV can and does fully emulate Wii games, including specifically Galaxy.
Yeah Nintendo is kinda stuck with NVIDIA for now unless they can force DLSS to run on future AI-cores other than Tensor Cores without hassle.
I can see them do it but for very specific games like Pokémon, Zelda (OoT & MM), KI, but for most others they’ll just emulate.

I wonder what the resolution is..
Here are the mod pages on gbatemp:
DLSS is kind of a safe technology because it just augments existing code of games through machine learning, which they aren’t the only ones offering. So long as the core code is untouched, I don’t see much of an issue there.
I don't really know a lot about rendering techniques, but I always assumed it was probably a memory bandwidth thing, since dithering makes it so each individual pixel is either entirely one thing or another, rather than a combination of two things.
Being able to emulate a console isn't a binary thing. We have hard evidence that the Switch, at the clocks Nintendo has chosen, can emulate a GameCube game, but it's definitely struggling a bit, and the game probably wasn't even especially hard on the original hardware because of how it was infamously downgraded to 30fps at the last minute. It seems likely it might be a similar situation to Old 3DS and SNES, where clearly some games can be run at full speed in the context of dedicated collections, but the full library is a bit out of the hardware's reach. Wii's higher clocks will definitely exacerbate things, though difficulty of emulation is not always straightforward (often the difference comes from specialized things the original system could do in hardware that the host platform has to emulate in software).
The good about Mariko switches is that dock only OC is achievable in handheld with very good battery life.
Yeah, Nintendo kinda stuck with IBM/ATI past the point where it really made sense anymore. Wii U is definitely, if not actually the final one, at least one of the last consumer devices with a PowerPC CPU inside.
