The main methods of obtaining games - either downloading them to your PC and using a program to install them, or using a “shop” to download them directly to the Switch via Tinfoil - remain constant regardless of firmware. The Atmosphere devs are generally pretty good about keeping up-to-date with new firmware updates to ensure compatibility (and unlike the SXOS guys, aren’t doing it for profit). If you aren’t willing to pay for the modchip and pay someone experienced to install it, I’d strongly recommend selling your v2 unit and getting a v1 unit before the aftermarket supply of those completely dries up.Īs for your other questions, the SXOS team has been crippled if not killed by the Nintendo yakuza, so most people these days are using the open-source alternative Atmosphere. Please be patient as the libraries and the port improves.It’s worth noting that that v2 Switches can only be hacked using a modchip that is A) increasingly scarce and expensive, and B) is a very delicate, fiddly install that absolutely should not be attempted by someone who isn’t extremely confident in their soldering abilities. Compiling mGBA for Switch currently requires building libnx and libdrm_nouveau from source, as it requires fixes in both libraries that have not yet made it into releases. The Switch port is still missing features, such as rumble and controller sensor support, which will arrive in upcoming builds. Those with the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack can also play some of the best games ever released for the Sega Genesis, including. Porting to the Switch was relatively painless, and I’m glad to announce that early builds of mGBA for Switch are now available on the downloads page and the upcoming mGBA 0.7.0 will include official Switch support. With the recent addition of 3D graphics support to libnx I decided to jump in.
As the fate of VC got more and more grim, I decided that I would release a Switch port as soon as hardware accelerated graphics arrived.
When the Switch eventually did launch, with little news on a Virtual Console, I decided that I would port mGBA to the Switch if Nintendo had in fact abandoned VC as the rumors claimed.
With the hype surrounding the next system, then only known as the NX, I decided to wait out the Wii U and see how the next hardware held up. It already ran well in vWii mode, and the writing was already on the wall that the Wii U was on its way out. There were several reasons for this, but the primary reason was the fact that Nintendo was releasing GBA games in the Wii U VC. When homebrew hit the Wii U in 2015 I decided to not create an official port of mGBA.
