If you want to say which game console platform is the most playable and has the highest CP value, then the Nintendo Switch is not only on the list, but also ranks high. The machine’s hot sale not only made Nintendo a lot of money, but also gave emulator developers a goal. The Switch simulator is currently dominated by Yuzu and Ryujinx, each with player support, and even a sense of competition between them, making the development progress of the simulator keep moving forward like catching a train. Recently, a new game “Pokémon Legend of Arceus” developed by Game Freak and published by The Pokémon Company has been sold globally in recent days. Many players are eagerly looking forward to it, grabbing the cash in their hands and preparing to bring it back Family. However, the game has given emulator developers a new hype. The developers of Ryujinx announced on Twitter just yesterday (2022/1/28) that players can already experience “Pokémon Legend of Arceus” in 4K quality on their emulators, not to mention emulator execution Whether the game still has compatibility issues, at least this news made many emulator fans notice them:

If you want to play the latest game, you must prepare the platform required for the game. If it is a PC game, then set up a computer that can execute the game to play. If the game is released on a certain game console, then buy a game console that has released the game to play. As for game console emulators, it is usually a program developed by some enthusiasts who hope that games that should be executed on platform A can also be executed on platform B with a certain degree of efficiency through software translation and other methods. However, because the game is operated on other platforms in an informal way, the execution efficiency and stability will be reduced, so the concept of “playing a game on a certain platform and buying a game console on a certain platform” has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In fact, it is not the first time that Ryujinx has used a game just released as a propaganda
However, occasionally there will be a team of simulator developers who happen to be super experts in this field, or the machine is not outstanding in terms of hardware. Even with the inherent limitations of cross-platform, the efficiency is greatly reduced, and it can develop excellent execution efficiency. It can even play an emulator with better performance than the original machine. Apparently the Switch emulator Ryujinx is such a case. It is not the first time that the development team of the simulator has been so arrogant. In the past, games such as “Monster Hunter Rise”, “Pokémon Crystal Diamond/Bright Pearl” and “Mario Party Superstar” were launched on the Switch console. At the time, it also declared for the first time that its own emulator might run these games on PC. This time, it is the “Pokémon Legend Arceus” that claims to be able to execute 4K image quality.
Whoops, we did it once more. ????#PokemonLegendsArceus is playable on PC Day 1 AT 4K!
For newcomers, just make sure to keep the default settings or even better, give our setup guide a read at https://t.co/oVV2M9ANN7 pic.twitter.com/3JKH8ag1k6— Ryujinx (@RyujinxEmu) January 27, 2022
For example, when “Pokémon Crystal Diamond/Bright Pearl” was launched globally on November 19 last year, the simulator was also advertised that day to operate at 60fps on PC, and “Mario Party Super” When Superstar was released on October 29 last year, Ryujinx also announced on Twitter on the same day that they might have fun with friends through LDN, the intranet connection feature they developed. So it can be seen as a promotional operation that they have always carried out in the same style:

▲ “Pokémon Crystal Diamond/Bright Pearl”, like many Switch games, can only be played at 30 frames, and the simulator takes advantage of this to promote it at 60 frames (Image Source）
Although the emulator developer’s high-profile approach may attract Nintendo’s legal affairs, but for players who are interested in trying the Switch emulator, Ryujinx has providedRecommended configuration for executing Arceus.If you are a first-time user of Ryujinx, you can readQuick Start Guiderefer to. As for your computer will not run? Ryujinx’s recommendation is to have at least a graphics card that can run OpenGL 4.5 and preferably have driver maintenance. According to this condition, NVIDIA GTX 700 series graphics cards can meet the basic threshold. AMD and Intel GPUs currently do not support OpenGL and perform as well as NVIDIA graphics cards, so they are not recommended. If you must use both types of GPUs, you will need to additionally download a version compiled for the Vulkan API:

Considering the “legal” conditions for operating the Switch, basically you have to own a Switch in order to legally obtain the game console firmware and files that other emulators need to use, plus you have to prepare compatible Switch game consoles in order to play games. The handle, although 4K sounds very attractive, if you don’t have time to play the simulator in the United States, maybe playing with the original console and accessories is the least troublesome way. As for the illegal use, I believe that players with self-awareness should also know that this is not something suitable for public discussion.
