ChillyWillMD shared footage of Mario Kart World running on a Nintendo Switch 2 emulator that uses NVIDIA DLSS 5 neural rendering to alter lighting and effects.

A video published on November 1 by ChillyWillMD shows Mario Kart World running via a Nintendo Switch 2 emulator on a PC equipped with an Intel Core i9-13900K and a GeForce RTX 5060 Ti. The footage uses NVIDIA DLSS 5 neural rendering to change the game's lighting and effects to a more cinematic look, running at 60 FPS.

The demonstration shows some image artifacts. Character models have jagged edges and light from kart headlights appears noisy. While the Nintendo Switch 2 supports a lightweight version of DLSS Super Resolution, reports say that the possibility of future Switch hardware adding Frame Generation or Neural Rendering is speculation. This follows reports that the Nintendo Switch 2 was jailbroken last month, allowing for game dumping and PC emulation.
