We Turned Nintendo Switch into a Steam Deck, And Runs PC Games! 

⁠@@akasection Cool, i never knew geekerwan had Chinese channel

@@IzvmiiI was really surprised when I found out they got an English Channel🤣🤣🤣

Yea, who would put all the effort for content

It's neither

​@@akasectionok but get this, their bilibili channel has even more uploads for some reason, there's a third level to this

Yes, with a video per decade sadly

​@@dvy6660 the owner of this channel mainly create content for Chinese viewers . The English version must be filmed again. So only the best ones will be refilmed and released on RU-vid.

@@004307ec I figured that out, still would like more videos even if they "just" dub them tho

@@004307ec meaning he is part of the ccp . or he is taiwanese

@@tugzzcouncil485 That has nothing to do with their videos. It just takes much time to produce english versions and they don't want to simply add english subs.

本土化(笑)

未来会不会主打油管

甚至还有中文版没有的gta5测评画面

​@@_hnghngdv9113大L给你

I am resisting the urge to be racist -

GTA4 won't be playable with that CPU bottleneck

​@@talibong9518PC versions of GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas could be possible. Wouldn't be surprised if they ran better than those garbage remasters.

@@dhgmrz17 you can run android versions as well

Wrong channel to blame

I think they would not make the part 2.Because they made this video just want people to know switch's performance and fun.If there's enough reviews on their channel on bilibili to ask.They will make the part 2

This is very easy on phones with display out, diy perks has a video.

@@bulletpunch9317 @bulletpunch9317 yeah checked that video out but he doesn't really turn it into a full fledged android/Linux PC just sort of uses dex. I was talking about repurposing any android motherboard and maybe adding coolers and turning making it into a better computing device or sth like that

@@aymanrahman1737 then you can watch diy dr.k. hes the closest to what you are mentioning i think.

There are not reviewer, they are engineer

well postmarketos exists so technically you can

U can actually now run yuzu emulator flatpak on Ubuntu Linux (not through yuzu emu on android like he did) and Mario bros wonder works with 40fps

GTA V runs at 30 fps on Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ on Android, sounds like a miracle to be honest, but it's true.

@@ValdikSS2 that is pretty impressive. It does not even run native ARM code to begin with.

Its actually slightly worse than the xbox 360 cpu on paper but with the extreme oc done it outperforms the jaguar cores on the ps4 and xbox one

Can I get some more understanding about what you mean ? Don't those youtubers go into detail along with the benchmarks ? What else is needed for you as a viewer ? Just curious

@@AprilSamurai I just feel like other channels are too focused on discussing salesman like topics and "use cases" and that the hosts dont even know how to use the stuff all that well. here it's like one of us geeks, one of us true "powerusers" doing the video. kinda like Major Hardwares videos. i like to see someone talk about tech who has a passion for tinkering and experimenting just to see it happen like in this video here since i do similar things on my own. its always fun to see these creative project videos tho. the big contrast would be that when someone like Linus does a fun creative experiment video like this, it seems he has other people like his guy Anthony doing the actual thinking in the background while Linus kind of keeps circling it back around to something marketable.

@@hdslave ohh i can understand that. This is pretty valid criticism. I will keep this in mind as I have been cooking some tech tutorials and reviews but I don't want to just emulate what most big tech channels do. I wanna put my own spin and be entertaining like the channel here. Cuz like you I enjoy tinkering with stuff as well! its nice to hear what regular viewers think.

@@AprilSamurai honestly, I feel that most of the tech youtubers show they can purchase equipment, set it up, run benchmarks/games but very few can actually get much past that. Ufd tech & Linus do the worst when they do a creative project video and never even figure out how to accomplish the task the video is about and kinda just give up. I love gamersnexus but Steve is such a industry investigator that his content is rarely that entertaining outside of his worst of the year build vids. Theres many channels I have no interest in like brownlee and his clones, tech yes etc which barely report more than a basic and topical review that could have been summed up in a short article with a few graphs and pics

@@AprilSamurai but it's mainly just seeing someone competent in the linux terminal showing tech. That let's me know off the jump they know what they're doing and do tech projects whether the camers is on or not

that one's goated

Haha that one got me contemplating opening up my own Mi9

100 percent i just love the channel

Probably because Star Rail is more linear while Genshin is an open world

Funny story seems that Genshin is about to switch the engine optimization by 4.0.

Yes it's the same engine (Unity) but they both use different graphics API backends. Genshin uses OpenGL which has horrible single core CPU bound, Star Rail uses Vulkan which is multicore friendly if designed properly. Both has janky Lua interpreter but Star Rail doesn't always need to run those code all the time.

@@lrc3847Source? Haven’t heard anything about that.

Same

Really, really good. I think GoW would run with 30fps and 720p.

@@iamnotkurtcobain easily if properly optimise

Just wait until cassia releases. A windows emulation layer for Android. Uses the same gimmicks used in this video and is developed by the devs that previously worked on the skyline emulator.

Guide?

YOO i hope he sees this!!

We need to see a fully unlocked 8 Gen 2, considering it's significantly more powerful than the Tegra X1

​@@shrekadinait's funny that "significantly" is an understatement, 8gen2 gpu is 6-10x more performant

@@ajitray5719 good to know! Do you have any idea what GPU would be equivalent to the Snapdragon 8G2 in terms of full performance?

@@ajitray5719 i used socpk numbers, idk 10 times is handheld, 6 times is docked non-overclocked, so it's probably less than that in practice

i dont think its completely fair to credit this to the switch... nintendo try to do everything to stop people from using their device as they see fit, switch is intended to be an locked platform except that nintendo failed at it, the modders or in this case linux is the one who deserve credits. im saying that because there is no guarantee that future nintendo consoles will be unlocked like that any time soon, they will try to make it harder and harder each generation, while platforms like the steam deck are quite the opposite, funding valve means funding this openes (at least for now, if they dont change their mind in the future, steam client is proprietary but at least steamOS is floss)

​​@@igorgiuseppe1862 Personally, even better if a corporation tries their absolute A game to lock a device down only to have all those artificial locks completely and thoroughly destroyed by the community. I want them to waste their time and money, only for their years of work to be defeated in a month's time. Nintendo has a history of trying the best lockdown techniques available only to have them fall completely flat because Nintendo hackers do not rest until they leave no stone unturned and no lock intact. We need more scenes like the Nintendo scene. The Switch was destined to be cracked wide open in record time from the beginning regardless of how good of a job Nintendo did on its security, like every other Nintendo console before it. So much so, it even brought collateral damage as various other previously secure devices also got cracked because of the Switch due to sharing similar architecture. They want to be the Disney/Apple hybrid of game consoles so bad and their own fans just won't let them. And I love them for it. Still, I won't deny it. Valve's been doing god's work out there, and the Steam Deck is a marvelous piece of technology with unrivaled features out of the box. It is thanks to Valve's work on Proton that my life as a Linux gamer became so much easier. And if the Steam Deck had existed when I bought my Switch, I probably would've gotten it instead. Heck, I might just buy a Steam Deck either way. But I never buy systems that I can't unlock.

By the way, proper 64bit WoW64 support for Wine is coming. It will finally allow people to run old 32bit Windows software on 64bit-only Linux without requiring multilib, and make it easier to implement CPU architecture translation overall. This, combined with DXVK, might be the step that finally allows people to easily play old PC games on their Android and other mobile devices.

@@3lH4ck3rC0mf0r7 i dont think that hackers that try to hack nintendo consoles are better than the ones who try to hack other devices, the issue is that nintendo is less competent when it comes to lock their devices. that is why i dont think the solution is to have more hackers, soon or later we might be defeated by companies, having more hackers or better is part of the solution but the most important part is not to support $$ those companies to begin with. companies like valve are much better in that regard, they could try to enter the console market with an closed system and ecosystem but chosen not to, the way they "fight" against piracy is mostly trying to offer an better service than betting on things like DRM.

Yeah, the typical stuff we see are really nothing more than gadget unboxers with no background in engineering or sciences. I don't waste my time with those channels anymore.

Isn't that an AI accelerator chip? The cpu/gpu may be better than this chip, but it'll still be pretty crap.

@@tappy8741 No, it's a SBC that runs ARM, so imagine that you have a phone chip but you can use like 15 to 25W. It's the same concept as the Switch actually but way more recent. The SBC version of the switch SoC was commercialized as the Jetson Nano, the current version of that product is named Jetson Orin, it has AI accelerator logic but it still has the normal CPU/GPU, but the current CPU cores are way faster than the Nano and the GPU is way bigger and has a much newer architecture.

@@Guilherme_Oliveira72 I understand that as a modern chip it iterates cpu/gpu and will be on a much better node, the cpu in particular is much improved. Still they've pushed AI in the marketing and may have de-emphasized raster performance in favour of cuda cores for ai/ml if it came to it, if I were to guess the gpu may not be as impressive for gaming as you might imagine. But 17 billion is a lot of transistors, if we're lucky they've "wasted" some of them re-using consumer raster instead of designing a more optimal AI solution for their primary purpose. Samsung 8nm is pretty good, behind tsmc 7nm but either at this point will be cheap as they are not bleeding edge but still pretty efficient. It's like 5 year old tech, best suited to large wide designs at lower clocks for power efficiency.

It not as surprising tbh Technically speaking the tegra x1 cpu even while downclocked is pretty much equal to the xbox 36p and ps3 cpu While the gpu absolutely crushes both

It's not possible to install ARM version of Windows on Switch though

@@SerhiiYolkin technically it probably isn't impossible, but even if someone managed to make it run on switch you'd still be using compatibility layers to run steam and games so there's really no benefit of doing it

Same

With SD8G2

the amount of gain is not the point, its the type of gain that is worth it. this doesn't just demonstrate that the Switch can run Linux that runs Windows games, it demonstrates that ARM devices can run Windows games without Windows. and that's beautiful, the only things that would be more awesome would be a RISC-V device doing the same, though it would probably be just as impractical.

they somehow had done it, but not a English version

​@@TheOneHongyou got link bro?

A switch 2 with next gen tegra and a big cpu upgrade would be so good

​@@antusReliquariusplus the new techs like dlss and frame generation in small screen this will make the switch 2 a really good gaming machine

​@sawyiier4870 I'm excited for the next Switch, but this video really shows how bad the Tegra was in the CPU side of things, and DLSS doesn't really solve a CPU bottleneck. Hopefully NVIDIA will ship a better CPU this time around, if a Maxwell GPU already went that far then an Ampere GPU with DLSS could be mind-blowing on Switch.

@@LuizFernando-li1du I guess Nvidia will collaborate with a CPU manufacturing company like mediatek, like samsung did with AMD for their mobile GPU in Exynos chip.

@@antusReliquarius Nintendo doesn't care _at all_ about whatns going on in the performance world. They make billions off this ancient piece of tech and games that never go on sale. Pretty much the most toxic gaming developer on the planet.

Yes
