I bought a case: https://www.bigben-interactive.co.uk/bigben-products/gaming-accessories/eva-carry-case

Super discreet. 4/5 would buy again.

I just spent half as much as I did on my switch on a plug and play GameCube HDMI adapter because there is no sign of GCN VC on Switch:

hopefully not in blurry 720p on my 4k screen

Only reason it's blurry is because most TVs don't support integer scaling.

Except some Pana's and Sonys and then they only interger scale at 1080p.

I just spent hundreds of dollars on a gamecube, wavebird and gamecube hdmi mod to play Metroid Prime for the first time and omg how do play a fps with no strafe!?

Playing Sunshine next and then maybe Twin Snakes (I've never played a metal gear game and I'm dubious about how well it has aged).

Just want to thank the person in this thread who made the case for getting a WiiU in addition to the Switch. Did not realise WiiU can also play Wii and Gamecube titles. Between PC, Switch and WiiU I find it hard to fathom I will ever run out of GOOD GAMES.

As my BotW adventure has come to an end I started Metroid Prime. And people complain about Zelda feeling empty! Also jesus christ F-Zero GX is even faster and harder than I remember. Gimme that poo poo remastered with online play on the Switch Nintendo!

Is changing the dns the only way to disable firmware updates?

https://hackinformer.com/2017/03/31/bypass-new-nintendo-switch-fw-update/

Gotta disable update because I will lose my poo poo if someone else accidentally updates and I'm forced into 480p indefinitely. I cannot be locked into 480p mode 5 days before SMO comes out.

Edit: can I still update games or is it going try and do a system update at the same time?

I've also disabled wifi and put into flight mode.

If I can't play SMO or the next big game in 720p I am inclined to ditch my Switch.

Has anyone come across a solution for the 'stuck at 480p' thing for monitor DVI to HDMI connections yet? Got hit with this unpleasantness after firing up the Switch for Odyssey tonight. No issues of this nature at all before the update, changed nothing about the setup in any fashion between when it worked and now. The biggest thread in the Switch subreddit about this still has streams of people saying it's not fixed for them even in 4.0.1 as the latest replies. I didn't notice any solution hiding anywhere. The biggest thread in NOA's support center has a pinned response from a moderator that's just generic computer monitor advice which contradicts like half the replies in the thread explicitly stating they tried the fix suggested to no effect, before the suggestion was made, so that's not promising on Nintendo pushing any fix anytime soon, since we also went another update with no fix in-between the issue presenting itself with 4.0.0. This is my only option for any display outside of handheld. Supremely bummed.

aaaaaaaaand this is why I'm still running 3.0.2 in flight mode with wifi and autoupdate disabled even after the supposed 'fix'.

Literally no way I could play at 480p.

In other news, anyone here heard rumblings about these post-process HDMI's? Sounded like snake oil, but I've seen some screenshots. I grabbed the Marseille mCable Gaming Edition (1ms response time.) Apparently they do quite a lot for Switch in Docked mode with regards to smoothing the jaggies using something that is (or is similar to) SMAA. This helps in motion with some of the shimmer we see in games like SMO.

I wish they would make one of these that added support for integer scaling.

Tl;dr: It's not great. If you want an FPS on Switch, you should probably get Doom.

I'd be happier if they dropped the res from 900p to 720p in docked mode to bump up fps.

If you can pirate a brand new release game with 0 impunity, you can bet your arse most people will do so regardless of what moral high ground they choose to put forward on the internet.

Emulators are to be expected, but what everyone really wants to ask is if they can pirate Switch games with this hack.

Nothing to do with morality. I pirated games when I was in high school. I am now a 34 year old salary man and have a million other things to do than bendy paper clip thing to save a few hundred $$$. I just click buy when I want something. It's hard enough finding time to play my Switch let alone trying to ready lovely guides on homebrew installation.

What else still needs to be ported to Switch from Wii U? I feel like we can safely through that garbage console in the place where it belongs (Hint: It's the garbage).

Wii U can play Gamecube, Wii and Wii U even some Switch titles (bayo etc). There’s enough content across those platforms (the back catalogue is vast) to last a video game player years. I bought one last year after I got my Switch and have played 3D World, Windwaker HD and Captain Toad. I still plan to play Twighlight Princess HD, Pikmin 3, Mass Effect and Mario Galaxy. It’s extremely good value for money. Also, good luck trying to get one when the Gamecube/Wii generation get nostalgic like the nes and snes generations did.
