news Super Mario Odyssey Is Already Playable In An Emulator

[Badcam3]

We tend to associate emulators as a means of playing old games from superseded systems, but the Yuzu emulator is different: it’s trying to run Nintendo Switch games on the PC, and it’s doing a very good job.

, but is already doing big things, as we can see in this vid:

There are some graphical glitches in parts and slowdown in others, but for the most part that’s Super Mario Odyssey, playable on a PC.

 

 

This is a weird place to be in. A lot of emulation work takes place in a legal minefield, but can generally be tolerated by most folks because the games and systems they’re emulating are old and tough (or even impossible) to find digitally.

Yuzu, though, is emulating a very current system, with very current and commercially successful games. That’s a tough sell.

A ready-to-use Switch emulator would be dope.

Yeah I was trying to follow Yuzu for a bit but that have updates almost everyday day soo much work is being done 
Sucks my computer is to much potatoes to run any of it well

Yeah it's too early to actually use it. I say it needs at least 2 years to reach a stable state.

Well the emulator only started to boot actual switch games 2 months ago so we gotta hand it to them. Yea Its got a long way to go still. I am sure that older computers will be able to run it once they optimize it more.
