Pokémon Scarlet & Violet but it's on PC

internal upscaling and 60fps can make all the difference

Linklight plays Pokemon Scarlet & Violet on his PC to showcase just how awesome emulation is! I use the Ryujinx Switch emulator to pull off the 60fps mod along with the internal upscaling, however I have heard that Yuzu is almost just as good.

My PC specs:
CPU - Intel i7-8700k
GPU - NVIDIA 3090

My Equipment:
(how i play Rivals, SSF2 and Dolphin on PC with a GC Controller)

Emulations and mods can only do so much, but the game's engine and lack of optimization holds it back.

This makes me feel like im doing an eye exam and they are changing through the different lenses

I have a horrifying realization. If the leaves, tree bark, and rock textures have that much fidelity after a 2x upscale, that means that THOSE SAME ASSETS ARE BEING RENDERED AT MAXIMUM FIDELITY LOD EVEN WHEN THE RESOLUTION CANNOT DEPICT THEM PROPERLY. There should've been more LODs to fit appropriate distances, but considering that the pop in detail happens only once, that means that there are either 2 or 3 LODs that are put to their highest quality variants from a VERY far distance, which puts unnecessary strain on the processing units for a display that cannot depict the textures and models accurately anyway. This game is an optimization NIGHTMARE.

Crazy how good this game actually looks with upscaling and a smooth framerate

[ODISeth]

Emulation (not piracy) has a boatload of benefits compared to playing on original consoles and I think at some point folks are gonna have to realize that. There’s a stigma against emulation and I really, really wish there wasn’t. People deserve to know what’s possible
EDIT: Most of y’all don’t know the difference between emulation and piracy and I think your ignorance is a big part of why this is such an issue

[MattO]

This with the voice acting mod would make a massive difference…

During the battle at 22:10, it’s crazy seeing the cloud’s shadow not pixelated and stuttering

[TunaKitty]

I feel like this is a really interesting exploration of what the game is actually like without the switch's limitations. It makes me wonder what kind of amazing Pokémon game we could get if it was built for PC from the start. 10/10 video my dude.

[arrowsecho]

honestly crazy how much modding can do for this game

[Nelsituh]

that transition from osrs to rs3 as you explain tech improvements :)

[volajelly]

Love the vid! And even if its jarring at times I love the sped up animations looking so clean and speedy compared to the normal speed feeling really slow to me.

[rizrizriz]

Never realized the top half of the tera orb is translucent until I saw the emulation footage. Crazy.

[TheLegend-mbwc]

excellent explanation of what emulation can do, love your vids

[taufiqpratama]

I wanna ask something, is it possible to use bluetooth feature on Emulators to link it with Pokemon Go? Since there's new feature installed for SV that make it possible to get postcard from Pokemon Go. Thanks!

[hisokamorow]

You are explaining those things like a true pokemon expert professor :)

[poppy-spades]

"Yeah I use GIMP... I'm poor"

This genuinely made me smile, it's the exact thing I tell others

[wolfbrigade]

Man, emulation is so damn nice. Makes me wish I had a beefy PC to play all these games in a completely new light. It's always especially amazing to see old gamecube or Wii games emulated.

[yournewfavourite]

Have you resolve the issue of softlock during evolution? Need help if anyone knows how...

[elvixteo]

Hey would it be possible to have a follow up of this mod showcasing the final area of the game? (No spoilers unless ya know). Id love to see if the perfomance there tanks or improves. Thanks for the video!
