Take note that performance of the core heavily matters in terms of the kind of quality you get out of your online experience since the netplay implementation is rollback-based.

Online multiplayer (with peer-to-peer and MITM matchmaking) should be available from Day One.

This will be improved in the near future. Right now the DPI (Dots Per Inch) is kinda hardcoded for portable and not really meant for dock mode.

natinusala saw to it that this initial version received touchscreen support.

Touchscreen support (for MaterialUI/etc).

In addition to all this, it allows us to port libretro cores that require the use of OpenGL later in the future, such as Parallel N64, OpenLara, and potentially more like Reicast/PPSSPP/etc! This means that all of the advanced features available on the PC should be available on Switch as well! GLSL shaders should be supported, overlays are supported, and thanks to OpenGL support, we can use hardware-accelerated menus such as XMB/MaterialUI (with full thumbnail support, theming, etc).

Thanks to Mesa/Nouveau support, this Switch version comes with full-blown OpenGL support (thanks to fincsdev).

Just goes to show you that TX is losing down and that they do anything to get their edge back. Unfortunately for them, m4xw sided with TEam RetroArch. On another note Team, Xecuter wanted to bribe one of the RetroNX developers into stopping work on this project and to make this OpenGL-enabled build of RetroArch ‘exclusive’ to their TX hardware.

Haven’t tried SXOS on it yet but Atmosphere work but crashed a few time on me. I found using CFW ReiNX gave me the best results with RetroArch.

If you don’t know RetroArch is an all in one emulator program that combines a ton of different gaming emulators cores into a single package making it an emulation station. Thanks to the hard work of the RetroNX devs (natinusala and m4xw), we now have an official RetroArch release for Switch! No more Lakka need as Retro NX was very stable all on its own but did have that old RetroArch feel to it.
