As for the GPU issue, by re-implementing the graphics sysmodule we can simply use the Radeon instead. The other cores, rarely used by games, are emulated across the 3 PowerPCs. One of the emulated CPU cores is actually using the ARM inside the Wii U - that usually runs the IOSU but we can reclaim it for homebrew purposes. It works in a kinda similar way to Nintendont - A lot of Switch games, being Wii U ports, don't actually use the full extent of the hardware, so we can convince them to run acceptably on the older Wii U hardware. Just run it with HBL! You'll have to watch the GamePad - I haven't sorted out TV support yet - but otherwise it's fully-featured and works exactly as you'd expect. It'll download everything you need straight off the NUS - you can get games from the eShop later. You absolutely can! In fact, a few months ago I released a specialized loader that effectively turn your Wii U GamePad into a Switch. Even if the Wii U were hypothetically more powerful than the Switch, the difference in architecture would make emulation unfesible (contrast with, say, the GameCube, Wii and Wii U being natively compatible due to the shared PowerPC architecture. These architectures are not natively compatible, meaning you can't just run code intended for one on the other. Secondly, the Wii U uses a PowerPC architecture compared with the ARM-based Switch. GPU - Nvidia GM20B Maxwell-based GPU 768 MHzĬontrary to popular belief, the Switch is actually more powerful than the Wii U, and you need a host system many times more powerful than the system you are trying to emulate in order emulate the system at usable speeds. RAM - 4 GB LPDDR4 (3GB accessible to the user) RAM - 2GB DDR3 (1GB accessible to the user)ĬPU - Octa-core (4×ARM Cortex-A57 & 4×ARM Cortex-A53) 1.020 GHz Let's compare:ĬPU - 1.24 GHz Tri-Core IBM PowerPC "Espresso"
Firstly, the Switch is actually a fair bit more powerful than the Wii U despite the amount of ports. There are 2 key reasons why running Switch games on the Wii U is not possible.
