Switch Flycast Port finally upstream!

Added 2020-03-27 15:59:16 +0000 UTC

Hey folks,
If you missed the tweet, the time has finally come!
With the help of flyinghead my port was merged into the libretro repository.
I wanted to do it since a while but I got crazy over tabs and line endings, heh.
From now on (its already on the bot!) you will get to always enjoy the latest Flycast version on Switch!
On top of that we fixed the Shader issue with certain vertices, flyinghead spent quite some time actually getting it to reproduce on the hw he as available and the fix. Now you can enjoy SA2 and other affected titles without breaking a bunch of others!
On top of that it has all the latest upstream improvements like proper mip-mapping, fixed VMU and some small perf improvements for some games according to some reports.
The Close Content crash is fixed now too! (Funnily didn't happen when closing RA as a whole so I didnt even know that was a thing until recently, lol).
Also seems in the last Patreon update I squashed out some fixes on accident.
Took me some time to remember but now I fixed the memory states again and that should fix seemingly "random" crashes.
I archived my old repo, you may find it here https://github.com/m4xw/flycast-switch

From now on please report all Issues on the libretro tracker: https://github.com/libretro/flycast/issues

I will still help maintaining it for Switch and I will keep doing updates to ensure you will have a smooth experience.
Maybe now with the pandemic its time for some CRAAAAAAZZZYYY TAXI!
