Emulators on Switch

8,777 bytes added, 11 May
no edit summary
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].

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.

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.

=Source ports==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.
