It works, but if you have an nvidia GPU Moonlight works better.


Parsec works great for me. Main gaming PC + Parsec macbook client via ethernet.... enables a Switch emulator running in 4K on the living room OLED! Yes please.


How is Switch emulation, these days?

Do any major Switch emulators natively support JoyCons the way Dolphin does WiiMotes? (Do JoyCons even use regular ol' Bluetooth the way the WiiMotes do? EDIT: quick Google says yes :) )


Switch emulation is quite good, and gets better by the day.

I have no experience with JoyCons unfortunately. I use an Xbox Elite controller + PS4 controllers. They map extremely well to a Switch Pro controller in Yuzu emulator. Launching Yuzu via Steam via Parsec works surprinsgly well to recognise the controllers, despite the occasional hiccup. Smash Bros and Mario Kart are a blast on the big screen.


I am not a Switch owner - surprisingly, I don't think I've even held one - (I am a pretty big fan of Nintendo consoles) - and I know there is some sort of motion control support in the JoyCons? I wasn't sure the extent to which the motion would be required for game play.

I figure in Smash, Kart, etc; it doesn't matter, but I'm just curious how deeply the motion controls affect the gameplay on average in Switch games. :)


AMD Link also works.
