Nintendo Switch Presentation - January 12th

[McJob]

And yet emulating the Wii doesn't require a beefy PC and the Wii U emulator is already playable.

The Wii's CPU was rated for 243MHz, while the PS2's Emotion Engine was 299MHz. The PS2 also had two separate Vector Units, a Floating Point Unit and a Graphics Synthesiser while the Wii had a simple CPU/GPU setup.

Emulation of the PS2 is harder because there were more components that were operating faster.

No the Wii's CPU is rated at 729 MHz. Don't know where you got the 243 number from.

[crazies alt]

No its 95,148MHz

I think you were looking at the GPU's clockspeed by mistake McJob

I don't know why you are requoting it. I get that the ps2 is harder to emulate because there are more components and whatnot. I'm just pointing out that there is no way that the Wii's CPU is clocked lower then the PS2s. I mean for forgets sake it's basically a beefier version of the Gamecubes CPU, which was clocked at 486 mhz.

I want to see the proof of this.

The only thing we know about the Switch's internals is that it's running a custom version of the NVIDIA Tegra X1, which is ARM-64, not X86. You're bullstuffting out of your arsehole right now.

EDIT: forget, other people got to it before I did. Point still stands though.

Ye I misread 'working on computer architecture' as in it runs on x86, but nvidia meant actually working to change the architecture.

[Tayasaurus]

Anybody watch the most recent Jimquisition bitchfest

[Trogtor]

for real though whats with the extremely small storage space? 32 gigs is nothing

[Hansome duded]

saints row 5 trailer for the switch

[Superstarxalien169]

I'm just wondering if they're afraid of raising the price any higher, hence the storage space.

[Gytyyhgfffff]

you're able to expand it with sd cards but yeah 32 gigs is some bullstuff

I thought you said Wii U lol my bad.

Emulation requires multiple times the power of said platform if you want it to run decently. A modern mid-range PC could handle PCSX2 for the most part aside from the real cpu intensive games like Shadow of the Colossus.

pcsx2 with the settings on default

Keep in mind with PCSX2 you'll have to fiddle around with the settings to get a number of games working properly.

And yet emulating the Wii doesn't require a beefy PC and the Wii U emulator is already playable.

Dolphin is an amazingly well made emulator that runs pretty damn well on even moderately decent PC's especially after the 5.0 update. CemU has made some impressive progress in a short span of time although it still has a ways to go.
