The NX2 decomp is currently inferior to the slopulators. Probably multiple decomps by now. Fritchii emulator fork is #1 right now but I think it's only for OOT. It's a fork of Lichii which is a fork of Eglantine which is a fork of Eden which is a fork of Yuzu. I think? My head hurts. Lmao. What's better or not changes every 6 hours.

I tried Fritchii last night after work and it's playable now. The only graphical bug I noticed was some corrupted text box background texture when an NPC is emphasizing something like the Deku Tree boss door combination 2-3-1. Shader stutter and pretty demanding on hardware but I usually stayed above 30FPS in the more graphically intensive areas. Indoors was usually 60fps. Fritchii can cap to 30 if the variable frame rate annoys you.

12th gen core i5 / Radeon 9070XT. I ran Fritchii through Faugus Launcher / Proton-GE because no Linux build. Some have appimages, some are on AUR like another fork called ichii. It's messy.

~~Video cutscenes desync audio on Radeon cards in all forks I've tried so far. ~~

Fritchii fixed desync.

If you're wondering where I'm following progress it's on the /r/decomps subreddit. Which is also posting all these Switch 2 slopulators.

Edit: the subreddit is already getting pressured to stop direct linking to github repos that are Switch 2 related. Nintendo big mad.
