I’d like to play some games from my nintendo switch in higher resolution. Is the ecosystem for that sort of thing mature, or should I wait for the bugs to get ironed out, first?

    Yuzu is already really impressive. I have a relatively low-end system (rx570, ryzen 2200g) so I’m not really trying to push graphics, but I’ve been playing totk comfortably at 20-30 fps (yeah I know my standards are low, but it’s perfectly enjoyable). There are a few occasional graphical bugs, but none are game breaking, and the major ones have been fixed. And remember, this game is a recent release. Older stuff is generally going to work a lot better.

    Since it’s mostly cpu bound, with a more powerful system (and probably a less demanding game) you can probably up the resolution quite a bit. I was even able to turn on fsr without a noticable performance loss.

    There’s a compatibility list you can check, although it seems down right now.

      That compatibility list isn’t worth checking. It hasn’t been updated in years when compatibility can improve dramatically even between minor releases. I’m playing games at 1080p with no glitches on titles that the compatibility list tell me shouldn’t be able to get past the menu.

      Also, that list doesn’t consider workarounds making a title playable, so titles like Diablo II, which apparently works just fine if you use an offline patch (haven’t tried this, myself), are listed as incompatible.

      tl;dr: If that list says that a game is playable, it’s probably playable, but if it says the game is bad or not working at all, you’ll need to look into it yourself.
