Update Description of Skyline Emulator
:A closed-source emulator in the work since late July/August 2018. It can boot some homebrews as well as the title screen of one commercial game. This is more a one person project for personal training at the moment.
;Skyline
:The first attempt at an An [[Android]] emulator by [https://github.com/Cyuubi/ Cyuubi], a developer known that uses NCE (Native Code Execution) for the 3DS emulator [https://github.com/Cyuubi/LemonLime/ LemonLime]. Originally known as [https://gbatemp.net/threads/mononx-an-experimental-nintendo-switch-emulator-CPU emulation to allow for-android.531427/ MonoNX] and previously called Lightswitch, Skyline replaced the project name due Switch applications to run natively on Android devices with minimal emulation on the less than admired name lightswitch (skyline being a synonym for the switch operating system named horizon OS). The project had later been handed over to Pixelylon[https://github.com/PixelyIon]. This new project is being written in C++ and Java. Skyline is made to act as a CPU side, it does restrict it's compatibility layer that allows native code execution on android to remove CPU emulation overheadARMv8 devices.:This At the moment, the emulator displays no graphics for commercial games, making that makes it mostly not useful pointless for end-users at the moment; although sound is outputted . Albeit, it does play audio for a few games. Further more, decryption of games are currently not supported, only booting decrypted .nsp games and .nro formats.:Skyline is aimed to work for snapdragon 845 processors and newer
;Egg NS
:It's the first emulator able to play games on [[Android]] device, able to run 81 titles while 73 titles are still crashing. The current version of Egg NS lacks any onscreen buttons, instead requiring users to purchase a Gamesir-X2 controller. The emulator also calls for a high-end device with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855/855+/865/865+. Despite the achievement, Egg NS was however the subject of intense scrutiny and controversy due to its questionable business model requiring users to spend $100 on a specific controller, a mandatory signup for the service, and to top it all off, GPL-licensed code stolen from [[yuzu]].
