Switch games look and run better on PC too.

Very true, Sword and Shield at 60fps is vastly superior to the 20-30 fps you get on Switch.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Not to mention that 60 FPS is at 4K.

God bless the reverse engineers and emulator developers.

The dolphin team is unironically a group of some of the best software engineers I can think of, solving problems outside the scope of basically any standard industry practice for free and getting results

The blog post they did showing how they do a sort of regression testing is still some of the coolest devops I've seen.

Check the FifoCI stuff here.

Genuine question because I like retro games, what is the point of 4k here? It's blocky pixelated Mario kart, is there mods to update textures or something?

If you play these old games in fullhd etc, it actually feels like the game you remember. If you play it in original resolution it's nothing like that.
