 The '''Atari Jaguar''' (AJ) was a fifth generation home video game console produced by [[wikipedia:AtariNintendo Switch|AtariNintendo Switch]] ''' is an eighth-generation hybrid gaming console released by Nintendo on November 23March 3, 1993 2017 and sold retailed for {{Inflation|USD|249299.99|19932017}}. It had a Motorola 68000 CPU During its development, the Switch was known as the NX (short for NeXt or Nintendo "Cross") and 2 custom RISC CPUswas widely speculated up until its announcement. It has 2MB of RAM. Despite Aside from specialized components unique to the intense marketing efforts by Atariconsole, the Jaguar hardware ismore or less off-the-shelf, in fact, being built around a 32semi-bit console rather than 64custom variant of Nvidia's Tegra X1 system-on-a-bit, as chip which was also used on a whole; only one part number of its two [[Android emulators|Android devices]]. The Switch contains 4 ARM Cortex-A57 CPUs were 64and 4 ARM Cortex-bitA53 CPUs running at 1. The 020 GHz with 4GB of RAM and a proprietary GPU codenamed GM20B. While Nintendo intended to step up the security of the console, vulnerabilities were still found early on that allowed tons of system's convoluted architecture didn't help matters eitherfiles 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 were missing important files to run and even if they had been completed, which led most developers there were no custom homebrew apps let alone solutions to just use load unofficial game dumps 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 68000 system, later officially recognized by Nvidia as CVE-2018-6242. A "debugging emulator" for gameplay logicthe Nintendo Switch, CageTheUnicorn (now [https://github.com/reswitched/Mephisto Mephisto]), popped up not long after the first components were dumped. The console would prove It was designed to be the final home console release emulate sysmodules with "no support for Atarigraphics, before releasing plug-sound, input, or any kind of even remotely performant processing [...] by design". A couple of months later, members of both the [[Citra]] and-play versions [[Dolphin]] teams announced the release of [[yuzu|their older games. There own emulator written in c++]], which was also capable of booting some homebrew applications; within a CD addon called the '''Atari Jaguar CD''' (AJ-CD)couple of weeks yet another emulator named [[Ryujinx]], written in c# by developer gdkchan, was released showing successful booting of commercial Switch games Puyo Puyo Tetris and Sonic Mania.
