@@jonathan__g Bro, even the PS2 and Wii emulators are so neglected when it comes to Android. There's no comprehensive guide like how to add 60 fps patches, tweaking optimal settings for a Snapdragon/Mediatek SoC, etc. It's a shame because Android Phones are literally a super computer with their super advanced ARM SoC that far exceeds the consoles of the yesteryear!

[@watchmejumpstart24]

@@Matt-jc2ml Love the vita. Probably my favourite gaming device ever and hacked just takes it to the next level. Have recently been using my Vita again after years of using handheld PC's and I still find things to marvel at. Things like the battery life and weight still blow me away in comparison to newer handhelds. Even in 2024 it could still sell if Sony had ever given it any effort. In 2024 if they released a model with USB C, built in 256gb, improved wifi/bluetooth for like $150-200 it would sell like hotcakes. No reason why something like the Portal should exist but the Vita shouldn't. EDIT: oh and obviously microsd slot

Hello Taki. My name is Nadir, I am the dev behind the 4IFIR. I'm glad that you liked my development. Thanks for telling people about it. If you have any questions, I will be glad to answer them. The project is developing day by day, acquiring new breakthrough feautures. Soon I plan to implement, for example, the ability to change the screen refresh rate in the range of 45-90 (not available on all LCD, but not the point). Just wanted to say thank you for your attention on behalf of my project and its community. I am in touch. Good luck!

You just nailed this video. Best modded Switch video there is out there IMO.

My Switch Lite screen got a pretty unfortunate scratch on it a couple of weeks ago, and I've been itching to do the OLED screen mod shown here rather than just replace it with a regular LCD. I'm sure you've been asked this a few times, but do you have a (rough?) estimate on when we might see the screen available to the public? When you talk about it being 'relatively easy' to do, does that include any soldering, or can you pull this all off with a screwdriver and some delicate hands? Words cannot express how excited I am to get my hands on this ASAP!

[@rockapartie]

First gen models (Erista) can easily be modded by putting the system into recovery mode (bridging two pins of the JoyCon connector and turning the Switch on with Vol+ and Power buttons) and sending a payload via USB. Later models and the Lite need a modchip. They only cost like 10 bucks but soldering them isn't for the faint of heart.

Awesome video - I think it's your best yet! I've been dabbling with Moonlight (via the Switch's Horizon OS) to stream Elden Ring to my Switch V1. Now that I've upgraded to a modded OLED I'm looking forward to setting up Android for better streaming performance. I'm surprised you didn't mention Moonlight - even via HOS it seemed pretty capable, but apparently it's muuuuch better via Android because unlike homebrew running in HOS, Android allows full access to the GPU. And yeah, Duckstation HOS is great. I rediscovered Gran Turismo 2 last year and have been playing it for months on my Switch with widescreen, FPS and content mods. It's amazing, and it sips battery - when I got really carried away I could get over 6 hours from my V1, so I expect >10 hours (not that I'll ever play for that long) from my OLED. ToTK has been gathering dust while I rack up hundreds of hours in a 25 year old racing game that I didn't even like that much when it first came out! Such an amazing family of machines.

You had a video in which you were running games created for Windows on an ARM processor.

Yes, there are two teams that are working on translation software for Windows apps/games on ARM processors. I featured one of them in this video.

Hey Taki, I just wanted to say I love your videos and I apologize for that time I got mad at you in the comment section because those RG350/351 handhelds weren’t functioning properly for me. Ever since then I have given up retro gaming, but I still enjoy your vids. They are fun to watch. On a sidenote, I now own an Xbox Series S, a PS5 and my older brother let me have his old beat up Switch (from 2020) and I bought a Nitro Deck controller for it. Anyway, yeah, you probably won’t remember me, but in any case, have a nice day and keep makin great vids.

This comment ^ is for Taki btw. He is the only one that should be responding to it. Not KZbin internet trolls.

Oh man i want that oled screen for switch lite so bad... Me and some of my friends have talked about this plenty of times and how perfect the switch light would be with an OLED. But it would be great if the OLED filled the entire space with no borders making the screen bigger. Also they should have done this when they came out with the OLED for the original switch. Hope this works out well.

i bought a new one last week. Its for my daughter and to pass time while she is with me at work on the weekends (i own my business so she comes with). Its been great and this video makes me want to mod her switch so Paw Patrol looks epic lol

[@IronicSonic83]

As a former owner of an Nvidia Shield I would expect SOME GC games running on it but RE4 and PS2 games were out of the question. Really impressed by the Lite (and Linux based OS)

[@xsaver23]

The oled lite is the dream handheld, will buy as soon as the screen is available for sale.

*OMG.* I now want a moded Dialga y Palkia Switch Lite (the most stylish IMO)... This is the GOAT android handheld, since it also runs Switch games natively.

[@alukeofalltrades]

Is it possible to do video out while emulating something like DS games? Then you could have the bottom screen and top screen have their own dedicated displays! Just some food for thought. Great video, really opened my eyes to how powerful the switch lite actually is when we take advantage of its full capabilities. I only have an OLED switch right now, but this video definitely put the lite on the horizon for me. Important to grab a few and support Nintendo while they’re still making the switch. I hate looking at 3DS prices nowadays! I should’ve gotten more while they were cheap

[@arty8478]

Really loved that you showed off World of Warcraft working on the switch! Such a cool thing to see!

[@MUCKLEECH]

My big takeaway from this is that new OLED screen that's coming. Count me it!!

[@TakunHiwatari]

I have CFW on a V1 Switch and tried Android, but wasn't happy with GC performance at the time. I didn't bother with Linux, and I had no idea it was that good for emulation. This video was enlightening lol

[@escapetherace1943]

lol linux is overall getting really amazing now time to ditch windows

[@PhoenixOrange]

Amazing job with the video, the OLED screen looks absolutely crisp!!

[@flux_6223]

Had no idea about the OLED replacement screen being worked on. If it hits the price range you mentioned I will get one.

I got a brand new Switch lite for 140€ just days before your community post about the OLED mod. There aren't many videos showcasing a modded Switch lite so this is awesome!

[@butterflyfilms939]

The Switch Lite goes hard! There is a project out there that kinda like NCE in Yuzu simply translates ARM code from the Vita to the Switch and its OS. I was wondering if, since the Switch is really popular, one could, instead of emulating, simply translate the Opcodes from GBA, DS and 3DS to the Switches Opcodes, since they all are based on ARM, that would be much more efficient. Additionally Android 13 for Switch is on the way with a modern Linux kernel. The open source nvidia driver NVK is also getting a lot of progress and might be able to beat the proprietary nvidia Tegra driver used these days thanks to all the Mesa3D goodness. I said it once under your community post, but maybe we will be able to translate Switch to Android with all the benefits of modern drivers and OS and we will get more performance even for Switch games on the Switch itself, but that is a pipe dream maybe blossoming in 5 years or so.

[@noname7271]

Sounds like some kind of virtualization mods. Yeah it should be possible I mean those ARM commands are still backwards compatible, aren't they? For the Vita they should be, for the older GBA I don't know might be deprecated.

[@josephzamer5802]

I waited 2 weeks for this video......Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ETlandxoxo]

I loooooooove this video and I can imagine how much insane amount of time you have put into this. Definitely one of the best Taki videos!!!! And now i want to take out my modded switch to tickle it. Imagine putting the mig switch flashcard in it too. What a super machine

[@Danjovisagat]

My favourite mod for the switch has to be the controller support for other controllers. Using a dual sense for gyro is nuts.

[@worldview2888]

This video is already a random suggestion for me .................. and i am completely blown away by the fact that a switch LITE can play WoW!
