Someone modded 8GBs of RAM onto their Switch oled, and then unlocked the resolution in Zelda to 4k, it wasn't playable but it was still impressive it ran at all
En primer lugar el SO de la Nintendo Switch no va a reconocer más de 4gb por más que le pongas más, y segundo para correr un juego a 4k no se necesita únicamente RAM, se necesita potencia que es lo que la consola no tiene
@@julianalarcon8172 Para eso existen las custom roms
I would be much more interested in 60 fps 1080p than 4k.
@@jjglaser it did like 40fps at 1080p with dynamic resloution disabled, so with it enabled it probably could
@@jjglaser it can do 60 in 1080p with an overclock
4:43 holy shit i bursted out laughing
There are extended clips of both of my rescues trying to fight with the cursor.
@@TakiUdonplease publish them! that's adorable
RUclips short or it didn’t happen 🤣
Cat so amazing creatures
best time stamp I have ever willingly press on
The cat attacking the mouse was hilarious 😂
Fr so cute lol I love cats
Taki, thank you for providing proper captions with your videos. It's an often overlooked accessibility feature, and I appreciate it because I personally like watching without sound sometimes. This also helps lots of people who have lesser hearing or issues with auditory processing. Very fascinating to see this little system output such resolutions, too.
My pleasure!
Upscaled psp looks so nice every time, I don't know what it is but it must be the high texture low poly combo that looks so good.
PSP was so ahead of its time. Best Handheld ever
Fun fact: the Tegra X1 was doing 4K before the Switch was released. It would have been interesting to see the Nvidia Shield thrown into your mix.
SOC inside the Switch have many limitations:
- Old 2015 processor
- 4x A53 CPU disabled
- CPU, GPU & RAM frequency are downclock from normal
- It's not customised
Imagine all of this limitations have been eliminated + secret sauce NVN 2 API = monster power efficient handheld console ❤❤❤
@@Hazeman.the thing is, it would make a lot more heat and drain battery way too fast… I still think they should’ve made a docked only high performance version, I play mainly handheld though so it wouldn’t matter to me as much
@@th3_ne0__ you know right the gap 8 years of mobile technologies can do
4k is not a big deal to output. Just depends on the actual content.
I had the same question. Especially considering I have an old Shield tv I don't use anymore.
Still can't wait for the switch lite oled mod
Just buy the Switch oled version and pull out the oled screen and replace the screen on your switch lite.
@@caspicewrong, the screen is too big for the lite
@@berniethebro Then use the lite in the oled version.
@@caspice there’s no OLED version of the light
@@berniethebro That is why you can make your own, using the oled version....but only if people are stupid.
That cat’s definitely in 4K
A minimum of 1080p @ 60fps is still good for me.
Agreed.
Yeah 👍
People want too f much i swear that's why we can't have fun games anymorr.. That's all they ever care for
@@igorz3551what? Does it offend you that people want to have a better experience?
@@ThatIceChampion well they don't make full games anymore they just spend all the power on making a higher resolution and more frames instead of adding more to the ambience. So yes it bothers me
You deserve an Olympic gold medal for your hard work and dedication. Once again, great video Taki. Thank you.
The switch is gonna be amazing for modding in a couple years. Never really liked the switch but i bet I'm gonna own one once it becomes like a psp
Oh yeah ikr
"in a couple years"
Me: cautiously nudges RCM jigs under the rug
You never liked the switch!? Really? The switch is the greatest thing to ever grace gaming for the past 7 years 😂. It inspired the steam deck and other pc Handhelds. Even trash box is trying to release their own version of the switch! man, u live under a rock 😂
Been modding since 2018 baby. It’s been hacked for a long time.
I don’t like the Switch for normal use, but I love it for the homebrew use.
Someone should tag Digital Foundry. They need to see this
There was another RUclipsr who made a 3D printed docked switch pro. That stayed in docked mode by removing the screen, added a Noctua fan and over clocked without unlocking. I think if you made that 3D printed case with cooling you might be able get a few more percents better on your testing.
Checkout machonacho. He did that mod and it showed lower temps.
@@StopWars420 he is one of the ones I saw make an improved dock.
Only Taki would use a Switch to emulate a Switch (and that's why we love him).
3:20 and this is where the Switch lite excels. While it cant clock as high as the v2/oled, the Oled has a NERF'D FAN ( Which no one ever talks about ) which has seen an abundance of switch HW being fried. The V1 switch OC numbers are also considered safe when applied to the switch lite, but can be a problem on other v1 HW.
The oled has a lower maximum fan rpm? That is crazy
@@MrRocking145 Yup, I was one of the first 3 people online to completely fry his OLED! lol. With the switch lite, Ive played totk at 60fps clocked at the safe OC for hours on end without frying anything!!
@@MrRocking145 not the lower rpm, the fan itself is smaller. Lite and oled use smaller fans than v1 and v2
@@percyvolnar8010 what clocks do you run to do that?
V2 should excel too then. It has the same v1 fan.
Love the level of nerdiness in Taki's videos
This was nuts! Very good video!
Wow! Did not know about this. Excellent work Taki!
Never thought a projector could be an option for gaming, especially in 4K! The picture is just mind-blowing. must be awesome upgrade from the 6 inches screen to a projected screen
Wow, the projection quality of the projector is impressive! I didn't expect a projector to reach such a high standard.
Amazing! didn't expect Switch can connect to a projector, and I'm surprised the projector's display is so impressive.
the OLED Switch having more DP lanes connected together with the dock being more capable points very much at it actually being developed from the rumoured „Switch Pro“
Good job on the end dude 👌
Amazing thanks for this
Such high-quality productions here, dude. I've taken inspiration to apply that to my new business, gotta present stuff at a high level to really sell it. Thank you.
That's crazy. Amazing work you did in this video, and I loved every bit of it. Sad though, that after the hundreds of hours you dedicated to it, my favorite part is the cat :)
Amazing work
First time here and it's so cool how you play around and explore the limits of the devices! But I'm surprised how no one is talking about how good the games look on the projector. The picture is so crisp.
I know, right? I kinda assumed that most of it was direct capture with a Y splitter, but then this output pop-up appeared on the top left and it hit me..
The picture quality on that projector looks really nice
Wow, amazing video. Insane to think this is possible.
I actually kinda appreciate Nintendo a bit knowing they still hold true to their original Gameboy era 'Lateral thinking with withered technology' maxim.
Great video!!! 👍
awesome stuff man
Your cat chasing the cursor is the best part of the video
Please make a video on how you did this. I've been wanting to try some harder to run games and this is exactly the push i needed
Thanks. Here's hoping that I will not have to wait long for the OLED switch 2 to come out.
Dude your taste in games is amazing!
*Reads title* - Ok, you have my attention.
This man right here puts out the best conent we wanted to see ref the switch! Man i can't imagine the lenghts you had to go through to put this video together and answer all those questions.
I own a ps5, steam deck, and switch, but i must admit i am impressed with switch's performance. I wonder if my s24u could beat it in actuality with sd8gen3 🤔
Simply incredible to see.
You're literally a MANIAC. Well done :D
Great video mate 👏🏻
Something I noticed, is that, at least on my smaller screens, the minimum I'm fine with is 720p, so I'm fine with the switch outputting in 720p.
it's crazy that super mario 64 runs so well on the stock switch at 4k in 16:9 but nintendo gave us a 4:3 version at 720p
First of all, thank you for your great video, it would have be nice if you tried using frame generation tools such as lossless scaler etc.. might be worth looking at in another video
Wow, this blow my mind!
For some strange reason i still Love the switch even though I own many other handhelds (3ds,psvita,anbernic,steam deck etc)..... Awaiting the lite oled mod
this video is great!
The cat jump scared me I thought a bug was landing in my phone 🤣
Bro your cat gave me jumpscare almost threw my phone thinking it is a bug on my screen(laying in a black room)💀💀
I hope custom Switch OS won't spawn random cats jumping out of nowhere. Devs should probably investigate that bug.
lol
feline*
BRA- F-in-VOOO!!!! Well done and well said at the very end 👍👍💥😲
I'm going to have to try a bunch of these out
The cats just tring to help decide what to click my cat does this
I'm mind blown by all what I've seen, time to process everything. On the other hand, more catto, please!
I mean this to me is a sign that the next Switch should be capable of all of this with ease and maintain good battery life when undocked. I assume it will upscale when docked only just like this example. I am excited for the future.
That screen tearing may be an Nvidia issue.
On Linux, the new display system Wayland has tearing issue with Nvidia due to Nvidia not having their drivers fully up to date for it. (The fixes to solve the issue have been pushed back 4 times now but SHOULD be there in driver 560 at the latest). If the Switch was an AMD GPU this tearing may not happen as on Wayland compositors by default there is always v-sync all the time on everything.
Now if the Switch Linux is rendering with the old Xorg/X11 system this is not applicable
Don't know if you have seen it, but there was a guy who soldered 8GB of ram to his OLED Switch, search it up, he had videos of him testing games with it, but he deleted them for some reason, but the videos where he does the thing are still up (i think his channel is called naga)
bro playing wow on a switch is what we dreamed of back in the day thats crazy.
I think the Switch might be the world's first console capable of emulating itself. This hackery reminds me of Bleem!, the commercial PlayStation emulator for the Dreamcast.
This is very cool, thank you
never doubted that it was powerful enough because I also use an Nvidia Shield TV, which is the same SoC.
Ship of Harkinian is my first time playing Ocarina of Time as a mid-30s gamer. It was fucking great to play with dual sticks on my Steam Deck.
*After being in the weeds for 27 straight minutes*
Taki: “This is getting in the weeds here.”
I can't say I've ever seen a console emulating itself on itself
" Yo dawg, I heard you like the Switch, so I put a Switch in your Switch so you can Switch while you Switch! "
crispy doom is software rendered so it actually doesn’t render on the gpu at all, it’s just raw cpu so that’s why crispydoom was running slower
I literally thought this was the rumored Switch 2. I'm still anxious that Ninetendoe would pull this out. We know that the company can produce exceptional hardware. It's like they're holding back and taking the safe route just to not have the mishap that Samsung had with the first Note phones
I am genuinely blown away by how well Linux games run on the Switch. Usually putting an operating system on top of consoles like this doesn't end well to say the least. The fact that you can do lighter games at all at 4k is amazing. Makes me wonder if they did have some internal plans to support 4k resolutions on at least the OLED switch that fell through once they started on the Switch 2.
You just made me really miss my Wow days. Pandaria killed it for me
I’d be really curious to see if the switch that zac builds built with the modded dock could do anything more since he gave it an adequate cooling system for the thermal demands of overclocking
Imagine a switch oled motherboard (modded/hacked) in an 15.6 inches PC case with 120mm AIO cooling solution and a freaking 15.6 touch LCD slapped at the side of it with giant battery. A luggable powerful switch the size of a briefcase that can game anywhere and not break a sweat! Not to forget good speakers with bass all tucked in.
I think there should be a SteamOS- Like front end OS based on linux for modded switches that plays Switch games sort of like how the original xbox could install linux dashboards and still play the games.
cat trying to attack the mouse cursor hahaha
3:20 and with these stats..
Battery life and heat would be the two main factors..
Build a shell for the switch that will channel the heat out of the switch snd allow for a bigger battery.
Cool for such old hardware.
Isn't it amazing that all these decompilation run better than official re-releases
YOUR CAT IS SO CUTE OMG
4:43 I'm pretty sure your cat is fan of mice...
4:52 So mesmerized that it persisted 😅
You gotta be kidding me
Insane
How did you run gamecube games at 120hz in Dolphin?
I was not expecting a sneak attack by your cat 😂😂
Impressive find. I had o laugh at the fact that the best way to play switch games on a switch was via emulation. The only thing not covered was exactly what the thermals are to determine whether it is a viable option for continuous use.
You can see the thermals in the MangoHud window whenever it is shown. Temps peak at around 65C with the biggest games I tested.
That clear plastic mod is something else man
The console is heavily underclocked by nintendo. It doesn't have to do with laziness.
Insane seeing minecraft run at 4k 60 fps way better than the switch version nintendo bruh
Amazing. I NEED your tutorial
As someone who has been really going down the research rabbit hole of getting an arm laptop for everyday linux use, this video was eye opening in a whole different way. Would there be any chance of a similar emulation style showcase on the pinebook pro or even a previous gen snapdragon 8cx? While not the intention of your video, if the switch can pump out this much power It makes me more optimistic for trying to make the change to an arm based computer.
I NEEEEEEED THE MODIFIED SYS-CLK you have! Or a tut showing how to reach them clocks
Great video man. Im always concerned about creators making switch content because I swear those nintendo ninjas are just peeking into windows at all times Lol
15:57 what about optimisation mods like sodium? What is the Java minecraft fully capable of?
I'm impatiently waiting for the Switch Lite Video-Out mod 😫
the cat got me, lolol
Couldn't pass from 4:46 because I kept going back to see the cat jumping
OMG there's more cat, glad I continued watching
I’d be interested to see if what you’ve done with 4k and overclocking would solve Citra’s issues running 3DS games
I'm so sorry, that cat? Legendary
I am so ready for the switch lite oled mod ....please Taki...Make it happen .....I am your number 1 fan btw ....😅
that cat though
I'm surprised Nintendo didn't upclock these in dock mode to begin with (Nvidia Shield Pro with the same Tegra processor has a much higher clockrate).
Dock could do with a slight redesign to support improved cooling to support a higher clock rate.
Nice video, would like some other videos on the NS Lite.
Does someone have some good setings for Fizeau to get the best out of the Switch lite screen please?
