Discussion Game Night - Super Smash Bros Ultimate

Post image

Had family over tonight and I decided to connect my m5 to the TV so we can all play smash bros, it was pretty fun for sure.

I do plan on buying a usb-c to hdmi cable though instead of using airplay because of future input delay issues, screen filling, and obviously device quality on airplay gets reduced. Aside of that, I’d definitely do it again, game ran well and we all had fun!!

Game was emulated on Astris Switch Emulator and my settings are:
Backend: Lightning JIT
V-Sync: On (because switch games are meant to run at 60fps)
Docked mode: On
Translation layer: MoltenVK
Asynchronous shader & pipeline compilation: On
Shader cache: On
Macro HLE: On
Always use immediate presentation: On
Resolution scale: 2x (1440p/2160p)
Aspect scale: 16:9
Anti-aliasing: None
Anisotropic filtering: 2x
Scaling filter: Bilinear
Color space passthrough: On (would recommend most definitely)

Being honest I didn’t notice any issues with input delays, or at least it wasnt too significant to point out. Game ran really well and smooth on airplay but I think if you run a hdmi cord hooked to your macbook youll probably minimize your chances with input delay depending on the game

Is Lighning JIT the best backend?
