LIQUID GLASS ON THE SWITCH HAS BEEN ACHIEVED INTERNALLY (yes it performs badly and fails to render some things but that’s temporary)

a lot of my drivers don’t work correctly yet because it’s a big change but we got liquid glass on the nintendo switch before gta 6. just a little bit of fixing up and we are balling. ios 27.2 running straight on the ninty switch metal. no emulation. lfg

aight liquid glass here i come

and i also finally patched enough of ios that it’s actually comfortably usable without things being frustratingly small. most hardware works at this point. it’s much easier to list out what doesn’t: - usb3 - usb dp alt (aka dock support) - deep sleep - usb host mode (connecting keyboards, mice, and other garbage over the usb c port) - awdl (airdrop) and everything else down to the ambient light sensor already works. the stuff listed is also super fixable so we are like 90% of the way there. all that’s left is some gpu driver fuckery, getting arm64e -> arm64 translation down right, and we got liquid glass on the ninty switch before gta6. thx for coming to my ted talk

this isn’t super glamorous but the gpu driver now (in certain places) matches apple’s gpu stuff at a hefty 60fps and also it rotates for the love of the game this being a native port means i can’t just patch together some qemu bullshit. this is a real tegra x1 metal driver that only _sometimes_ falls back to an nvk pipeline. my target is to have 0 such fallbacks in uikit and the OS itself. because they really really hurt to see. here’s hoping!

it already does the most important thing it can do so at least there’s that

it’s getting rather quite close!

yeah that’s what this is i promise apple this is not a nintendo switch

i see the vision

i put ipados on my nintendo switch because fuck it why not

maybe the real moat were the friends we made along the way

every time

taco time

it's rly funny that bc of agents small teams make big tech devtools for themselves. i vibe coded this thing that uses portless to bring up our monorepo stack with deterministic non-colliding ports so we can work on a lotta worktrees at once.

it’s taco time again🔥
