Hey Sup Forums, I tried to install Linux on my new Nintendo Switch and it went into a blue screen of death

Hey Sup Forums, I tried to install Linux on my new Nintendo Switch and it went into a blue screen of death.

Does anyone have experience with this type of NVIDIA chip?

very funny op

>actually buying this piece of shit
Where did it all go wrong user?

fake

Screen looks purple to me.

im absolutely baffled

holy shit
is it really that bad? a friend picked it up at the midnight launch to play Zelda, but I assumed it would be at least within 20% parity of Microsoft/Sony's offerings

gay

What offerings, retard. Microsoft doesn't even make handhelds.

Of course it's not taking in account chip modifications. It's like saying that the PS3 performs like a 7800GTX

>What is a Windows phone

extremetech.com/gaming/241332-nintendo-switchs-cpu-gpu-clock-speeds-revealed

It's just a modified TX1 with lower clocks breh, no pascal gpu up in that bitch.

>shit on the switch because it's not graphically intensive as other consoles

>marketed to be on the go more

what did you think, it would be a PS4 in your pocket? stupid af to believe that

It should have at least matched the performance of your average $300 phone like the oneplus 3.

Christ, why did they even go with nvidia after learning about the shitshow that was the TX1?

That merlin falcon shit from AMD would have been dope on the nintendo switch.

If you want to play the new Zelda game, pick up a Wii U for half the price, it plays it far far better then the Switch.

Or just wait a month for Cemu to have support for it.

You mean GFLOPS not MFLOPS, right?

No

It's much worse than you can imagine.

Is this the new REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?

I'm pretty sure you mean GFLOPS, because if the Xbox One was only 1311 MFLOPS, the original Xbox would even be faster.

Kek
>take time making a chart to bully fanbois
>fuck up with the units
it's still a accurate representation of how shit the switch is, but still, kek

Is this real? Is the failure rate really this high?

Nintendon't dun goofed man

It doubles as a smoke detector.

You mean... a smoke generator

b-but muh exclusivezz

Topkek, the Switch working in mobile mode is actually SLOWER than a GPD Win and still only has half the battery life of it.

TOP-KEK

You do not buy a Nintendo console for the specs
You buy a Nintendo console because you want to play the latest Zelda game.

Zelda alone sells consoles.

The thing is, Nintendo consoles are always so low hardware and get emulators out for them in such a short time, you can mostly play every game of a current Nintendo console emulator while the console itself is still on the market.

There's no real reason to even buy a Nintendo console anymore, just wait a few months and you can play the games on your computer.

This was probably nintendo's last chance to not fuck shit up

The latest Zelda game works on the Wii U though.

/thread
playing xenoblade rn

It actually works better on the Wii U, because the Switch version was a port from the Wii U, the game on the U is not locked to 20 FPS also.

>just wait a few months
>CEMU is still unplayable after years
You can't be this deluded holy shit

If people aren't buying Switch because of the graphics, what makes you think they bought Wii U?

This kind of assumes that someone has the computing power to play on an emulator, and CEMU is kind of a shitshow right now compared to Dolphin or PSX. So if your only goal is "play zelda," and there are maybe 2 zelda titles per console cycle, that's $300 + $120, so $420 to play zelda compared to at least $600 to emulate reasonably well.

What are you talking about, CEMU plays almost everything fine now, are you a Nintendo fanboi being butthurt? Because you are making this shit up,.

...

>they bought Wii U

Bad news for you, user

>CEMU is kind of a shitshow right now
CEMU is far better than Dolphin actually, because the Wii U game library is much smaller, they have optimised it per game greatly, games like Xenoblade Chronicles X, Splatoon or Super Mario 3D World at 1080p, 60 frames locked, on CEMU with a 5 year old AMD FX shitbox with a R9 380 works great.

Also, who doesn't already have a computer at least this powerful? Only thinkpad/linux fags or actual console fanbois, those who don't know better or are not interested in it anyways.

Holy shit, turbo kek, thanks user

I have trouble with xenoblade on my i5+1070 build. Maxing out at 30fps which is just a frame cap, but cutscenes are fucked even though I'm running off a SSD

>Also, who doesn't already have a computer at least this powerful? Only thinkpad/linux fags or actual console fanbois, those who don't know better or are not interested in it anyways.
Children, or rather, parents of younger children. Like it or not, not everybody has muh gamin rig, even if that's all Sup Forums seems like anymore

i tried cemu once recently, it ran splatoon just barely at what could be considered playable speed on my 7850
as in, it runs and i completed a few stages, but it's uncomfortably slow
it'd probably be fine if the emulator had a frameskip option, as the framerate itself is ok, but the game simulation is slowed down because they're tied together

>almost
It runs like shit on most computers, and I doubt anyone sane is going to waste $1200+ on pc parts just to emulate a nintendo console of all things

>I have trouble with xenoblade on my i5+1070 build. Maxing out at 30fps which is just a frame cap, but cutscenes are fucked even though I'm running off a SSD

Xenoblade is a solid 30 for me. Less demanding games like Super Mario 3D World are fine at 60 FPS even when using 1080p patch.
Sure you are using the latest CEMU? I know CEMU was still shit until a few months ago.

Frameskip is no fix for anything, it will just make the experience worse. Mostly included as a temporary fix by most emulators.

I haven't had any problems with Splatoon, seriously, all the games I play on CEMU are 10/10 in terms of performance.

>a 5 year old AMD FX shitbox with a R9 380 works great.
>$1200+ on pc parts
kek, more like 300 bucks

>that's $300 + $120, so $420 to play zelda compared to at least $600 to emulate reasonably well.

obviously waste your 400 bucks to play Zelda on the real thing instead of wasting it on a PC that has a library that's over a thousand times bigger and still an emulate

frameskip can help get the game simulation speed up
the game ran at around 30fps, but since it's normally a 60fps game, the simulation is half normal speed, moving around is all slow-motion
i'd be fine with 30fps if the simulation was normal speed, so a good frameskip would fix my problem

(ps. i understand that frameskip isn't very straghtforward to implement in an emulator, so i'm not complaining)

>300 bucks
Used Wii U's go for lower on ebay, with games.

Yeah cause they render games at 480p30fps

And?
Wii U games don't have your ebin AAA game company graphix n shit so why bother, Sup Forumsermin

So some shitty children's game is the only reason to buy nintendo shit at all? That's actually kind of sad ?.

>red_1337_star762 !eMRS5YxXBA
>red_1337_star762 !eMRS5YxXBA
how embarrassing

While this may be true, Nintendo consoles allow for great modding. Wiiu alone allows vwii, nintendint for gc and emukators for every other console preceding it sans xbox, ps2

>And?
Doesn't that give you eye cancer when that shit scales up on your 120Hz 4K/8K TV?

>Wii U games don't have your ebin AAA game company graphix n shit so why bother, Sup Forumsermin
Dam so you're that loser at the mall that plays his nintendo ds all by himself in the food court?

So does every PC, with way better quality outcome

Wow detective, what would we do without you?

Holy shit, how do people like that breed or succeed in life?

This is what happens when parents aren't strict enough. Kids turn into filthy fat degenerates who end up wasting tens of thousands of dollars on liberal art and women studies degrees.

I feel sick for humanity.

>but my graphics
>but nintendo
If you care that much about graphics go watch a movie or something. I'm not going to defend Nintendo and their lazy and backwards way of thinking, but this whole obsession with graphics took us from lots of gems back in PS2 era to this day which is pretty much a pile of steaming shit made with PS4 and PCMasterrace retards who complain for every single thing

Nobody is asking for a GTX 1080 in the damn thing but we do want a console that will be able to run the new releases and demanding titles. That's why consoles get replaced in the first place: they need more power for the new video game demand.

But obviously it's fucked if their own launch game and first party title runs at 720p and 20 FPS in 2017.

I don't even think anything on the PS3 or Xbox 360 did that and Wii U was already surpassing them in hardware specs, Switch is literary a backstep.

I can run CEMU on my laptop just fine. You fags must be doing something wrong. Nvidia runs better than AMD with cemu so that might be why.

Yeah that's not acceptable. Being able to play Skyrim should not be a fucking selling point for a console in 2017.

As said, even I have an old AMD setup with an AMD GPU and it runs great.

The point of the Skyrim port is that it'll be portable.

That's the point of a LOT of things about the Switch.

this

The GPD Win could get 40-50 frames in Skyrim without disabling all the eyecandy, obviously now we also know that the Switch actually runs slower than it in portable mode too and still has less battery life then the Win.

So it's not doing a very good job being a good portable console.

>nintendo damage control

emulator can play more game ripped from the net
pc can do way more then just games

this choice is a freeby

>Nobody is asking for a GTX 1080
But that is exactly what Sup Forums retards want

>But we do want a console that will be able to run the new releases and demanding titles.
A console that will be outdated in performance one year after release, just like PS4/XO. You see, the problem here is that consoles don't have too much going for them nowadays, unlike back in the PS2 era and before when consoles actually played an important role in CG development.

This all could be solved maybe if companies stopped producing consoles/games for consoles and focus exclusively on the PC market (which is quite slim) but, from a business viewpoint it's a no-no.

Seeing how underpowered it is I'm really worried about what are people at Nintendo really thinking. Then again, assuming Switch is the heir to 3DS/DS and also assuming they won't release another console to follow WiiU then I guess we can't ask too much for it as it's focus lies entirely on mobileshit.

Now, I'm actually impressed that UE4 now supports Switch.

who else /waiting for the inevitable home console version within a year from now to compete with the next xbone/ps4 price cut/ here?

>But that is exactly what Sup Forums retards want
I just want to be able to play the fucking games. I'm not even going to be able to play Crysis on this fucking thing.

>A console that will be outdated in performance one year after release, just like PS4/XO
Yeah, I don't buy fucking consoles. Just saying that within this peasant console race, you might as well give hardware that is somewhat reasonably close to the other platforms. I'm not playing Mario any more.

>That's the point of a LOT of things about the Switch.
I agree, but it's still abysmal. They should have pushed for the Pascal architecture. If they just don't give a shit, they need to make development on the Switch REALLY FUCKING EASY. And I mean easy. Give development toolkits, make publication simple, get a Steam-esque store started where people can publish their games and get voted into the market, et cetera. The Wii U had zero titles and the inefficiencies of Nintendo is showing.

>Now, I'm actually impressed that UE4 now supports Switch.
It also supports iOS and Android, that's nothing special, it's just an engine, you can easily make games on it that look like uther shit but still run at 60 frames on old shitty android phones

>is it really that bad?
It's not

>it plays it far far better then the Switch.
no it doesn't

Jesus christ, guys, you're seriously just making shit up

>But we do want a console that will be able to run the new releases and demanding titles.
>A console that will be outdated in performance one year after release, just like PS4/XO

Their own console can't even properly run their own first party title.

What more do you want? There's even no need to argue about anything else.

>they need to make development on the Switch REALLY FUCKING EASY.
That's the case though, Devkits for the Switch are insanely cheap (Like $500) and Nintendo's willing to put just about anything on the eshop now. Hilarious shift from their usual tone.

>It's not
muh 20 fps 720p with 2 hours battery portable
muh 30 fps 900p with connection loosing gamepads on my 4k TV

>IT'S NOT THAT BAD GUYSE

>it plays it far far better then the Switch.
>no it doesn't

it does, it still has a lot of shutter and frame drops, but nowhere near the same amount then the switch
not to mention all the other problems the switch has

>outdated in a year
Better outdated in a year than outdated 2 years ago. That is unless they take the initiative to make porting easy. No more, "You call me or I call you and we have a meeting about it" bullshit. Make development and publishing tools PUBLIC AND READILY AVAILABLE. Nintendo needs to not fuck around with this.

Unity is supposed to support it soon as well. UE4 titles are rarely ever going onto anything but a PC though. The projects all start off with compile times of 10 minutes and executable sizes 300mb+ right off the bat. It's a big problem and their Paper2D crap isn't worth talking about. UE4 isn't very modular unless you want to spend 8 months developing on it.

They breed with each other

lel so they are pulling a wii again, maybe nintendo is desperate for market share seeing how much they have fallen behind their competition

This isn't going to help us...

bahahaha nintendrones on suicide watch.

>That's the case though, Devkits for the Switch are insanely cheap (Like $500) and Nintendo's willing to put just about anything on the eshop now. Hilarious shift from their usual tone.
Why can't the Switch itself just be a devkit?

this tbqh
Cemu is literally god tier if you want to play Wii U games
It's better than the Wii U itself

Well to be fair the Wii was a motion control gimmick devices. Not too many games can be ported to it without some heavy modification to its codebase. Yeah, you can just use a standard controller layout, but nobody bothered. If they establish good dev tools and really push it forward to developers that you can always publish your fun crap to this device, nobody will say no.

Nice photoshop

But do all those devices take advantage of the power?

I'm going to guess Nintendo again wants it to be its owned locked down platform.

No third party installs allowed.

Which is why Android just needs to *thoroughly* win the mobile gaming segment.

Never 100% but of course you can get games that use a lot of the processing power on a current smartphone or console or even a PC GPU. Not saying all usages are "sensible" by everyone's standards, but they can.

The question in my mind still is why Nintendo released a gaming console that's featuring years-old hardware worse than many a current Chinese smartphone or tablet.

Thanks.

Yeah, Nintendo is always behind. I've heard they finally got rid of Friend Codes.

>Sup Forums in one pic

Don't forget the A10 Fusion, which gets 798GFLOPs.

this.

Friend codes are god tier

quads

if you buy solely for the performance and not the experience, you're retarded. That's why you should try consoles before you buy them to see if you like them or not. Compating specs is useless.

No its not that bad but it is more like 50-70% of playbox 4

You'll have more luck installing freebsd, given that nintendo is using freebsd-based system there.
