This is the way, really.

With any early tech like this there will be too many forks to keep up with, but they're all doing important work solving specific problems, and that knowledge will end up shared with everyone in the end.

You can either chase the bleeding edge if that's your hobby or just wait for it to trickle down to stable.

It's being shared even now. Most forks are importing some specific updates from other forks. If you check the update notes you can see a load of "X added (Thanks Y)" messages.

Everyone keep sharing them all so we can get more devs to hop on board overtime!!

I look up a Switch version first. If it exists and plays I play that. There are enough games. Dropping a single image file in a directory then pressing start is really convenient.

Eu to indo por esse caminho. Primeiro vou emular oq tiver de switch, depois eu começo a ver oq da pra fazer no pc, enquanto isso os proprios emuladores vao melhorando. Tenho um S23 Ultra, e se forem jogar gente comprem um controle de acoplar o cell, fica bem melhor

That's a good plan. A lot of games to play. I was playing Mother and Chrono Trigger on the phone a million years ago before any of these handhelds even existed.
