Since the Nintendo Switch was hacked early in its launch, there has been a lot of interest for emulators due to the Switch's portability. These emulators will only work on Switches with CFW on them, i.e. Switch consoles susceptible to the Tegra hardware exploit. For more information and guides on how to homebrew your Switch, or if you even can, visit [https://www.reddit.com/r/SwitchHacks r/SwitchHacks].

===Lakka===
Lakka is a lightweight Linux distribution, based on LibreELEC, designed for emulation. It comes with a customized RetroArch whose cores may perform better than those of the standard RetroArch for switch, depending on multiple factors like the existence of a dynarec or the use of vulkan graphics. There are other cores in Lakka, the most interesting being Yabasanshiro (for good Saturn emulation) and Dolphin (which is playable for many Gamecube games if you underclock to 50-60% the emulated system and, for some games, overclock a little the real switch).

===Switchroot Android===
A build of Android 10 "Q" for the Switch, based on Lineage OS 17.1. Since it shares the same Nvidia Tegra X1 system-on-chip, the build is based off the Nvidia Shield TV build of LineageOS. Its most notable feature is the ability to work both in handheld and docked mode and using the Joycons as a Bluetooth controller (though not all apps may detect them correctly). There is also another build that lets the Switch function as an Android TV box. Many emulators and Android software can run, including [[DraStic]], [[Dolphin]], and [[Citra]].

===Switchroot Linux===
Many GNU/Linux distributions are available, including Ubuntu [https://wiki.switchroot.org/en/Linux/Ubuntu-Install-Guide Bionic] and [https://download.azka.li/archive/focal/ Focal], [https://download.azka.li/nightly/fedora/ Fedora], and Gentoo. With these, it is possible to run many emulators and software for GNU/Linux on these systems. [[Play!]] has [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOpxuZsx_C8 had some success] with playing PS2 games on Ubuntu, albeit at around 10 FPS.

Since the Nintendo Switch was hacked early in its launch, there has been a lot of interest for emulators due to the Switch's portability. These emulators will only work on Switches with CFW on them, i.e. Switch consoles susceptible to the Tegra hardware exploit. For more information and guides on how to homebrew your Switch, or if you even can, visit [https://www.reddit.com/r/SwitchHacks r/SwitchHacks].

===Lakka===
Lakka is a lightweight Linux distribution, based on LibreELEC, designed for emulation. It comes with a customized RetroArch whose cores may perform better than those of the standard RetroArch for switch, depending on multiple factors like the existence of a dynarec or the use of vulkan graphics. There are other cores in Lakka, the most interesting being Yabasanshiro (for good Saturn emulation) and Dolphin (which is playable for many Gamecube games if you underclock to 50-60% the emulated system and, for some games, overclock a little the real switch).

===Switchroot Android===
A build of Android 10 "Q" for the Switch, based on Lineage OS 17.1. Since it shares the same Nvidia Tegra X1 system-on-chip, the build is based off the Nvidia Shield TV build of LineageOS. Its most notable feature is the ability to work both in handheld and docked mode and using the Joycons as a Bluetooth controller (though not all apps may detect them correctly). There is also another build that lets the Switch function as an Android TV box. Many emulators and Android software can run, including [[DraStic]], [[Dolphin]], and [[Citra]].

===Switchroot Linux===
Many GNU/Linux distributions are available, including Ubuntu [https://wiki.switchroot.org/en/Linux/Ubuntu-Install-Guide Bionic] and [https://download.azka.li/archive/focal/ Focal], [https://download.azka.li/nightly/fedora/ Fedora], and Gentoo. With these, it is possible to run many emulators and software for GNU/Linux on these systems. [[Play!]] has [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOpxuZsx_C8 had some success] with playing PS2 games on Ubuntu, albeit at around 10 FPS.

Any recent RetroaArch release includes direct G&W support through the handheld-electronic core which should be a better choice. You can even download the games with the online updater on retroarch itself.

Emulators on Nintendo Switch

172.68.134.251: /* Nintendo DS */ drastic 1.1.0

{{Infobox computing device/Nintendo Switch}}

{{for|software that emulates the Nintendo Switch|Nintendo Switch emulators}}

Since the Nintendo Switch was hacked early in its launch, there has been a lot of interest for emulators due to the Switch's portability. These emulators will only work on Switches with CFW on them, i.e. Switch consoles susceptible to the Tegra hardware exploit. For more information and guides on how to homebrew your Switch, or if you even can, visit [https://www.reddit.com/r/SwitchHacks r/SwitchHacks].

Lakka is a lightweight Linux distribution, based on LibreELEC, designed for emulation. It comes with a customized RetroArch whose cores may perform better than those of the standard RetroArch for switch, depending on multiple factors like the existence of a dynarec or the use of vulkan graphics. There are other cores in Lakka, the most interesting being Yabasanshiro (for good Saturn emulation) and Dolphin (which is playable for many Gamecube games if you underclock to 50-60% the emulated system and, for some games, overclock a little the real switch).

===Switchroot Android===
A build of Android 10 "Q" for the Switch, based on Lineage OS 17.1. Since it shares the same Nvidia Tegra X1 system-on-chip, the build is based off the Nvidia Shield TV build of LineageOS. Its most notable feature is the ability to work both in handheld and docked mode and using the Joycons as a Bluetooth controller (though not all apps may detect them correctly). There is also another build that lets the Switch function as an Android TV box. Many emulators and Android software can run, including [[DraStic]], [[Dolphin]], and [[Citra]].

===Switchroot Linux===
Many GNU/Linux distributions are available, including Ubuntu [https://wiki.switchroot.org/en/Linux/Ubuntu-Install-Guide Bionic] and [https://download.azka.li/archive/focal/ Focal], [https://download.azka.li/nightly/fedora/ Fedora], and Gentoo. With these, it is possible to run many emulators and software for GNU/Linux on these systems. [[Play!]] has [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOpxuZsx_C8 had some success] with playing PS2 games on Ubuntu, albeit at around 10 FPS.

Any recent RetroaArch release includes direct G&W support through the handheld-electronic core which should be a better choice. You can even download the games with the online updater on retroarch itself.

Emulators on Nintendo Switch

2026-09-01T09:12:51Z

172.68.134.251: /* Wii */ version 1.0.4 . Keep recommended at a moderate level as most games require massive overclock

{{Infobox computing device/Nintendo Switch}}

{{for|software that emulates the Nintendo Switch|Nintendo Switch emulators}}

Since the Nintendo Switch was hacked early in its launch, there has been a lot of interest for emulators due to the Switch's portability. These emulators will only work on Switches with CFW on them, i.e. Switch consoles susceptible to the Tegra hardware exploit. For more information and guides on how to homebrew your Switch, or if you even can, visit [https://www.reddit.com/r/SwitchHacks r/SwitchHacks].

===Lakka===
Lakka is a lightweight Linux distribution, based on LibreELEC, designed for emulation. It comes with a customized RetroArch whose cores may perform better than those of the standard RetroArch for switch, depending on multiple factors like the existence of a dynarec or the use of vulkan graphics. There are other cores in Lakka, the most interesting being Yabasanshiro (for good Saturn emulation) and Dolphin (which is playable for many Gamecube games if you underclock to 50-60% the emulated system and, for some games, overclock a little the real switch).

===Switchroot Android===
A build of Android 10 "Q" for the Switch, based on Lineage OS 17.1. Since it shares the same Nvidia Tegra X1 system-on-chip, the build is based off the Nvidia Shield TV build of LineageOS. Its most notable feature is the ability to work both in handheld and docked mode and using the Joycons as a Bluetooth controller (though not all apps may detect them correctly). There is also another build that lets the Switch function as an Android TV box. Many emulators and Android software can run, including [[DraStic]], [[Dolphin]], and [[Citra]].

===Switchroot Linux===
Many GNU/Linux distributions are available, including Ubuntu [https://wiki.switchroot.org/en/Linux/Ubuntu-Install-Guide Bionic] and [https://download.azka.li/archive/focal/ Focal], [https://download.azka.li/nightly/fedora/ Fedora], and Gentoo. With these, it is possible to run many emulators and software for GNU/Linux on these systems.

[[File:WiiEmus.png|thumb|Overview of the main popular systems that can be emulated without major issues.]]

{{for|software that emulates the Wii|Wii emulators}}

The Wii was underpowered compared to the other 7th generation systems, but it had a strong homebrew scene as it is trivial for the average user to hack the console. A number of decent emulators are available, primarily for 2D systems, although there are still ocassional speed issues for the more demanding games. See [https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Main_Page WiiBrew] for more extensive Wii-specific coverage of individual emulators.

For some systems (primarily the Nintendo 64), you are sometimes better off using the official Virtual Console re-releases or performing VC injection if one does not exist. See [https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_VC_Injections_Compatibility_List WikiTemp] for compatibility lists.

Please visit [https://wii.guide Wii Guide] for info on softmodding if your Wii is not already hacked. Current methods support all systems including the Wii Mini and the Wii U's vWii, however the latter cannot take advantage of the Wii U's additional power unless you hack the Wii U itself to unlock/overclock vWii mode.

;RA-SS:A fork of RetroArch that aims to provide a more compact and user-friendly experience. It adds several quality-of-life improvements such as auto-resolution switching, better multiplayer support, debloated menus, per-game and per-core settings, Wii Message Board integration, and more.

===Wiimednafen===
Emulates the following:

Game Boy/Game Boy Color
Game Boy Advance
Game Gear
Atari Lynx
Mega Drive/Genesis
Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)
Neo Geo Pocket
PC Engine (CD)/TurboGrafx-16 (CD)/SuperGrafx (Fast version)
PC-FX
Master System
Virtual Boy
WonderSwan

WiiMednafen has not been programmed to work in PAL systems and it will have black bars on top and bottom of the screen leading to a sort of widescreen stretch effect. Double-strike mode (240p) will not work properly on PAL systems even on a CRT and regardless of the cables used.

This requires a bit of explaining.

When the Nintendo Wii was launched, it introduced native backward compatibility with the GameCube, allowing memory cards and GameCube controllers to be used with GameCube games. This is widely-known and it allowed [[Dolphin]] to support the Wii early in its open-source era. However, this compatibility was lost when Nintendo released newer models called the Wii: Family Edition (although the ports were merely stripped from the casing; the circuit board still contains the areas where the connectors would go, see Wikipedia's section on it) and the Wii Mini (which also lacks an SD card slot as well.) Also on the Wii U, the GameCube ports don't exist at all, only being offered afterward as a USB peripheral in order to play Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

However, homebrew developer FIX94 has developed Nintendont, an interpreter that allows all versions of the Wii (and the Wii U) that can run homebrew to read and run GameCube games, not only from a disc, but from SD cards and USB devices too. This comes with the added benefit that more controllers are supported past the normal GameCube ones, which makes it possible to play on consoles that don't have GCN controller ports.

Some notable features are the ability to use other controllers like the Classic Controller, Wiimote+Nunchuck, and some HID USB controllers, memory card emulation, playing TRIFORCE arcade games (after converted to an .iso), and recently Broadband Adapter emulation using the Wii's wireless communications.

Nintendont can run standalone via HBC, but it's recommended running it indirectly through a usb loader. All big three usb loaders support it: usb loader gx, wiiflow lite, cfg loader. Make sure you're using the latest version of the loader.

;[[PicoDrive]]:While it is only available as a libretro core and is behind Genesis Plus GX and WiiMednafen in terms of compatibility and accuracy, it is currently the only way to play Sega 32X games on the Wii. Same for play Sega Pico games.
Slowdown may occur when on 3D sections of Genesis games or 32X games.

|{{Yellow}} {{License|NC}} ||{{✓}} ||{{~}} (WIP)<ref group=N>Loading time is not too long in the Wii port of Sonic Mania and it plays great for the most part. However, the giant ring special stages will significantly reduce the frame rate to ~5–10 fps depending on the number of 3D resources in sight but the developer plans to optimize special stage performances. Until an update with special stage optimization is released, it's best to avoid the giant ring special stages.</ref>
