The '''[[wikipedia:Nintendo Switch|Nintendo Switch]]''' is a ninth-generation console-handheld hybrid gaming platform launched console released by Nintendo in 2017. It During its development, the Switch was also known as the Nintendo NX (short for NeXt) during development, and includes motion and touch controlswas widely speculated up until its announcement. Aside from specialized components unique to the console, the hardware is more or less off-the-shelf, being built around a semi-custom variant of Nvidia's Tegra X1 system-on-a-chip which was also used on a number of Android devices.
A huge vulnerability was discovered While Nintendo intended to step up the security of the console, vulnerabilities were still found early on that allowed tons of system files to be dumped, including dumps of games in the form of romfs.istorage archives, an exefs folder, and license files. These game dumps eventually got shared online by scene groups except for their licenses, but they're were missing important files to run and even if they had been completed, there were complete, no custom homebrew apps let alone solutions to load unofficial game dumps have been developed yet for the system. A number of prominent hacking teams (starting with shuffle2 and fail0verflow in collaboration) all came across a new exploit independently of each other that allowed complete control over the system, later officially recognized by Nvidia as CVE-2018-6242.
A "debugging emulator" for the Nintendo Switch, CageTheUnicorn (now [https://github.com/reswitched/Mephisto Mephisto]), popped up not long afterthe first components were dumped. What it does is It was designed to emulate sysmodules with "no support for graphics, sound, input, or any kind of even remotely performant processing [...] by design". While this project is openIt was then revealed that members of both the Citra and Dolphin teams were already working on [[yuzu|their own emulator]] in secret, followed by another developer releasing a Windows-source, it is developed as nothing more than researchonly emulator named Ryujinx.
