lol, lmao

for those interested and have :freeze-gamer: emulation rigs: it runs on Ryujinx with some v-sync related issues.

For those concerned about spoilers, probably ought to stay off of YouTube before those boss fight compilation people drop their videos over the next few days.

      There's actually a surprisingly in depth mod for the Cemu version of BOTW for that, it even includes custom sounds and dialogue changes, but also some :bonk: armor designs

    For those curious about the v-sync issues (contains vague spoilers for the first 30 minutes of the game)

    spoiler

    By default all non 'shrine interior' areas in the tutorial segment set Ryujinx's v-sync to 20 fps. This seems either unintentional or something set in place to deliberately fuck with anyone playing with the leaked rom, because the game seems way slower than it should be, and playing it at that speed breaks the audio for the opening cutscene. You can get around that by setting your graphic card's 3D program settings to override the vsync to 30 fps. However, somewhat worryingly, it seems like 30 fps is a little too fast for the exterior areas? Based on what I can tell, it seems like a "cinematic" 24 fps is the intended speed for outdoor areas., with 30 fps intended for the shrine interiors. Supposedly once you progress to the rest of the game you the framerate gets better but I can't confirm that yet. Honestly I feel like its a bad first impression if that's how it's going to play on actual hardware, yeesh.

    Oh and some of the lighting and ambient occlusion shaders are broken on Ryujinx but that's not a big surprise.

      60 is the standard and 30 is the compromise but I guess even that is negotiable now? lol what the fuck. I'm not a graphics snob but it's 2023 and the small indie dev at uhh Nintendo can't reach 30 fps

        Nah, it's not recent at all, ocarina of time ran at 20fps like most of the time. but tbh nintendo does seem very reluctant to phase out their shitty 2012 mid-tier tablet for no discernable reason. I guess they're worried about the switch 2 turning out like the wii u.

      Those are encoded in base64, and should be direct download links.

      Edit: second one is a torrent link.

      Edit 2: ok I looked at all of them, and 1, 3, and 4 on the list are direct downloads, and the fourth seems to have the fastest download speed.

      Well Link has yet to turn towards the camera and read off my irl address and bank account numbers while photorealistic blood drips from the screen so as far as I can tell it seems like the real deal and not a troll or honeypot.

      But I'll keep hexbear posted if that changes.

        Apparently there was a troll rom that had a just picture of link in it release like a couple hours ago

        I guess it was mixed in with the real leak

          That was like 3-4 days ago and the person who posted it just showed an icon on their homescreen, which is super-easy to fake if you have a hacked Switch. And also said their friend had access to an actual cart, not just the ROM, I believe, which is way less believable.

            Used SwitchExplorer tool to extract everything from the \Data\StreamingAssets\ portion of the rom. Looks like there are some questionable items in here, as well as a few various game roms for other systems here too (NDS, Wii, PS1, PS2), including an English-translated McDonald's eCDP Nintendo DS rom + save file + password.

            • KIRYUHA.MP4: A short meme video of Steve from Minecraft blowing a load to the camera

            • MORBIUS.MKV: The full-length Morbius movie, 1152x482 with Russian and English audio channels and subtitle streams

            • BORBOOBS.WEBM: Same, but embedded on a picture of an anime girl's chest?

            • MOVIE.MP4: Someone's video of a slideshow of pictures all about skull knob replacements for car gear shifters, set against a looping few seconds of "Bad To The Bone" (just the beginning guitar intro section)

            • MUST-WATCH.AVI: A video-taped recording of something very NSFL (I'm not going to describe it)

            • NEKO-ARC-PLAYER.EXE: A Windows PC tray app that randomly plays Neko-Arc's sounds over time

            • SHREKSUPERSLAM.ISO: Shrek SuperSlam iso (probably for PS2)

    It is always morally acceptable to pirate Nintendo's games.

    In case it gets wiped from Reddit.

        ...3rd gen i7 lmao. I didnt really buy this PC for gaming, but I really really wanted to pirate shit after my PSN account was hacked, so I got a 1050ti. Its fine for most games but not for Switch emulation.

          lmao I was worried for a sec the specs needed to run this at 60fps would be something nuts like an 11 gen i9, i dunno it sounds unreasonable for the switch now that i think about it.

            It'll get smoother over time, Switch emulation has a way to go. I remember struggling with Dolphin 10 years back and now it runs as well as an SNES emulator.

              Yuzu is updated constantly and this game isn't even officially released yet, performance will improve. You can also try using both OpenGL and Vulkan, sometimes a brand new game will run better on either one
