      Its more than a shame, it ruined the replay value completely AND I can’t play it with my kids to get them into it without buying a switch for each.

        I remain flabbergasted there’s no simpler way to get ten buttons of input and 240p of output on a generic 32-bit ARM device with a zillion official and unofficial add-ons. Especially when you look at the unholy chain of adapters necessary for input.

        Especially once you swap the console playing the game for an early-model Wii, which has been hacked to hell and back, and has Gamecube, Bluetooth, and technically USB inputs.

    Wow that’s quite the achievement. I wonder if the emulation community has an easier way of running this without all the adapters.

      Dolphin now includes mGBA as a sort of controller. The wiki has a note about network settings but is otherwise full-steam-ahead.

      Visual Boy Advance supports netplay IIRC

    Incredible effort. As the great scholar Cave Johnson said, “science isn’t about why, it’s about why not?

    This is cool. I wanted to do a much simpler setup to capture video from my switch to stream. So I could stream from Moonlight or my Steam Deck.

    But haven’t really dug into how to map steam input while playing remotely into a device that can send the signals to the switch.

    Great work on their part.
