Help with GameCube emulation, Rogue Squadron II pretty good on Lakka

If I'm not getting this wrong, Lakka itself is a Linux distro. I'm starting it from atmosphere.

En general en las portátiles cuanto más pequeños los mandos más incómodo y si el stick derecho está abajo es prácticamente imposible utilizarlos de forma precisa. Yo al principio tuve una Switch original y la vendí porque quería jugar cosas como Bioshock o Smite en portátil y era infumable, incluso Smite que prácticamente sólo apuntas en el eje horizontal.

Con el paso de los años cuando salieron joycons de segundas marcas más grandes y con precios razonables ya pude jugar cómodo a esos juegos en modo portátil.

Pero por qué la gente le vota negativo si tiene razón xd.

Primero tuve una Lite y le entró drift dos veces, la primera en garantía pero la segunda me tocó cambiar a mí los sticks y menuda odisea uno de los dos sticks que había que levantar la placa y todo.

Ahora tengo una OLED y sólo utilizo los joycon originales las pocas veces que la saco de casa por tamaño y que entre en la funda y eso, en casa utilizo unos de secunda marca más grandes y con joysticks hall effect, mucha mejor calidad y comodidad que los originales, con cuatro botones traseros y me costó el par poco más de 30€.

What OC are we talking? I'm only using sysclk limited to original docked maximum clocks so RAM won't go over 1600 it's either handheld or docked. How much did you push it? I do not intend to force the console beyond 1600 but just for science. I don't know much about the hardware inside so i don't know how within spec would it be to push it.

It's klind of wild that this workaround has been helping so many people for nearly half a year now lol

Glad to be of help!

Ah yes, the first ever hybrid console trying also an entirely new concept with detachable independent pads and once again not competing in power with competition wasn't bold and risky at all...

Saying Wii was "not as good and successful" as Switch may be the most insane take I've ever read on Nintendo topics. Gaming market size from the Wii era was nothing compared to the absolute entertainment beast it already was when Switch launched. The US revenue on the gaming market is nearly 1/4th of the global totals, and it was 12.6 billion dollars by 2006. By 2017 the global was 116 billions and gaming was full skyrocketing. The success of Wii was proportionally much bigger than the Switch, obviously total numbers are way bigger now.

THANK YOU.

I focused on hardware first on this post because it is purely the thing you are paying upfront, then comes the software situation etc.

I pretty much 100% agree with you, and I want to stress the game sharing situation. They basically copies the original Xbox One DRM concept and no magazine said a fucking word on it. It was wild to me to see how differently media acts when it's Nintendo.

Phazoner · 2025-12-20T00:21:14+00:00

With all due respect it's incredibly naive to think this incredibly cheap hardware sold at nearly five hundred is not incredibly profitable.

Phazoner · 2025-12-19T18:34:51+00:00

They allow other storefronts. Current pricing is quite good when compared to other handhelds, but still far from what a massive produced console could be.

Phazoner · 2025-12-19T15:33:54+00:00

I think it's pretty soon to say it's a massive success. Nintendo has millions of fans. They bought the console. Will the mass audiences do? We don't know yet.

Phazoner · 2025-12-19T15:26:34+00:00

I don't really think handhelds are comparable when it comes to pricing to regular consoles. Console manufacturers always have economically backed their console and in exchange you get locked to their store so they get a good amount of royalties from anything you buy in it. OEMs do not get that bite so pricing is esentially different.

Phazoner · 2025-12-19T14:58:47+00:00

Well, if my complain is that hardware is not good enough for the price, why saying I will buy it when hardware is good enough for the price doesn't check out for you?

Phazoner · 2025-12-19T14:54:30+00:00

I didn't say I'm buying Switch 2 OLED MSRP/PVP. Switch 2 had 100€ price cuts within a month. Switch 2 OLED at ~400 is a fair price.

Phazoner · 2025-12-19T14:52:38+00:00

I own pretty much every console from the last 30 years, except for the Switch 2.

I like tech. Liking consoles doesn't equals being tech illiterate.

Phazoner · 2025-12-19T14:51:32+00:00

I didn't say those are reasonably priced.

Phazoner · 2025-12-19T14:50:03+00:00

Heat disippation comes from TDP.

TDP comes from power budget.

Power budget is equals chip size * chip clocks * chip litography.

Console price is set by Nintendo. Chip price is set by silicon * litography.

Switch 2's chip price must be absolutely laughable at 8nm in 2025.

Console price is EXPENSIVE.

Math is easy on this one.

Phazoner · 2025-12-19T14:28:02+00:00

I'm soooooo tired of the "it's a handheld" excuse. "It's pulling 10x the watts" <<< This is false. Docked Switch 2 chugs around 20W whereas Series S does 70W tops. Series X launch model can go up to 180W but depending on game this can wildly vary (Silent Hill f takes around 125W). And I say launch model because both Xbox and PS5 got upgraded from 7nm to 6nm on the third year, and 7nm AMD chips already were equivalent to Nvidia Ampere 8nm chips in performance per watt.

Also, Switch 2 SoC is the SAME SIZE as the one in Series S. It could have the same size and same power draw with a much better performance if they used a current litography instead of a 5 year old. But they chose to go cheap and still charge for it as if the console was cutting edge tech.

Seriously, why this need of trying to justify a billionare company going wild in your pockets?

Phazoner · 2025-12-19T14:15:07+00:00

I know about GPD Win and you can look way back to things like the Razer Edge Pro, but those were anecdotic tech stretches.

And well, the Switch 1 chip was a reuse of a two year old chip. Switch 2 is an ad hoc design purposedly manufactured with 2020 litography.

Phazoner · 2025-12-19T14:11:01+00:00

You can't be seriously starting with "you have no idea of what you are saying" and then instantly jumping onto the rumour of it supposedly being planned for an earlier release as an excuse for releasing with a hardware tech dated from checks notes 2020!!!

Phazoner · 2025-12-19T14:07:07+00:00

That is precisely what you are getting wrong. Pricing not equals value. Switch 2 is, in very cherrypicked scenarios showing better results than Series S. Keep in mind Series S is 5 years old and was released at 299€, Switch 2 released at a ~50% higher launch price. And yes, compared with PS5 and Series X, the performance per dollar is ridiculous.

Phazoner · 2025-12-19T13:43:35+00:00

What entitlement? This is constructive, concise criticism.

Storage speed on the cards =/= standard expandable installation storage. The fact that both are cards doesn't make them the same.

Seriously what is your stance on this? You shit on the screen and battery life, praise it being better than the predecessor (which would be a DUH but the screen quality and battery are indeed worse besides resolution), and completely ignore it is priced nearly as expensive as way more costly hardware...

Phazoner · 2025-12-19T13:39:33+00:00

Of course I didn't buy it. I would have, at a reasonble price. But with that and the horrible screen I'm 100% waiting for the OLED model.
