Apparently some of the lagginess could be due to the project's SD card support. A viewer pointed out that some SD cards can deliver a much better experience. YMMV!

Developer here, thanks for featuring the project in the video!

Imagine what Nintendo could achieve if they spent 90% less on lawyers and 10% more on development.

Would love to see a updated video for this using switchroots new android 10 version. It fixes ALOT of problems. Most notably on rails joycons work now. Been using it for a little under a month and it's quite impressive honestly.

Most likely scenario:
Nintendo: Don't you dare.
Nintendo legal team: We're out for blood, your blood.
Switch devs: Actually that's pretty smart

Me at Switch launch: "cool''

me hearing that you can play gamecube games, ds games, psp games, run android: 'time to get one'

[SirGarmaples]

Oh, and Android on the Switch has gotten a lot better! There are unofficial builds out there built from the source code by the Switchroot devs, and it’s on Android 10 and the Joy-Cons connect directly over the rails without needing Bluetooth! I found it to be much smoother and long-lasting in terms of screen-on time than the current 8.1 build.

It bugs me that the switch has Bluetooth but you can’t connect Bluetooth headphones to it

You guys take me back to my early (1980's) hardware hacking days when I would spend ENTIRE WEEKENDS trying to make some random PC hardware hack work that would do things like recompiling executables to save a few hundred kilobytes of space on a ramdisk that held a stripped down version of MSDOS 2.0. God but my brain worked so much better back then! Anyway, great show!!!

I love how linus goes from "Thats MY switch!" To "Fuck it. Heres the segue to our sponsor!"

[OwlNightwind]

“Only emulate games that you physically own.” Ri~~~~ght.

I swear Linus and Riley's back and forth is so lightning quick.
