I'm an optimist; it's easy for me to see the good in things. ^ᴗ^

It's a good thing actually...for emulation
Compare to a PS4 , my laptop GPU is way too underpowered
RE: Nintendo NX - zurginator - 12-20-2016
Since it's a standard ARM architecture, and since the PS4/One are standard x64 architectures, wouldn't that make emulation a lot easier? It's my understanding that the worst and most resource-heavy part of emulation is faking the features of an architecture you're not on. Is this the case or am I completely wrong?
RE: Nintendo NX - mbc07 - 12-20-2016
If it were that easy, we would have a fully functional OG Xbox emulator now, don't you think? To date, it was probably the console with the closest hardware of an actual PC...
RE: Nintendo NX - DrHouse64 - 12-20-2016
I don't know about ARM, but yes, Intel x86 architecture is not well documented, that's why it's hard to make a good XBox emulator.

Also, Xbox had an NVidia GPU, which are a major pain to emulate

Wait, so the Tegra X1 is only in between the Intel HD4600 and HD530? That's pretty weak...

People also said the Wii U was weak, but it ran plenty of graphics-intensive games perfectly fine, and many titles ran at 60fps. Nintendo knows how to optimize a game. I'm also very tired of "OMG LOOK AT THE SPECS OF THIS SYSTEM IT'S GONNA BLOW ASS"

so am i , but sadly those shout the loudest and word spreads fast. i too think that if developers put some effort into what they make they could get more out of the systems they work with.
also, iirc unreal engine 4 supports the switch so it can't be that bad...
