So let us quickly go over them one by one – This might just be the single biggest platform release at launch for a new platform ever for RetroArch! Right from day one, we are starting out of the gates on the Switch with over 44 libretro cores! Because RetroArch offers such a wide array of cores even for the same system, it’s entirely possible that one specific SNES or Genesis core is fast enough for the kind of run ahead at x frames configuration that you are looking for. Try experimenting with cores, and don’t forget to turn it off for more demanding cores that balk under the pressure. Performance of this feature is heavily dependent on the ‘performance’ level of the core and the Switch’s relative power. RetroArch Switch comes with run ahead support from Day One! This is our game-changing feature that allows you to beat latency and even go beyond the fast response times of the original hardware.

From Day One, it should be possible to download and update new cores as they arrive on a daily basis without even having to wait for the next RetroArch stable!.

If you go to Settings -> Input and enable Split Joy-Con (1 to 8), you can use a full Joy-Con as two separate controllers!.

Scanning of your games should fully work, except for perhaps PS1 images right now.

By registering an account at Retro Achievements and inputting your account details into RetroArch, you can obtain achievements for your games.

Aside from multiplayer, you can also download cores, updated assets, and all the features you would expect on the PC version. 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.
