− | + | Technically not an "emulator", it allows your Switch to function as an Android tablet. It's based off the Nvidia Shield TV build of LineageOS, since they both use the same system-on-chip, and runs Android 8.1 Oreo. 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). | |

The Switch in its two forms, portable (above) and docked (below). | |
Developer | Nintendo |
---|---|
Type | Hybrid video game console |
Generation | Eighth generation |
Release date | 2017 |
Predecessor | Wii U |
Emulated | ✓ |
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 r/SwitchHacks.

LineageOS 15.1 for Nintendo Switch | |
---|---|
Technically not an "emulator", it allows your Switch to function as an Android tablet. It's based off the Nvidia Shield TV build of LineageOS, since they both use the same system-on-chip, and runs Android 8.1 Oreo. 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). |
L4T Ubuntu | |
---|---|
like LineageOS, this is not technically an "emulator". Instead, it runs a version of Ubuntu on the switch.With these, it is possible to run a lot of emulators on these systems. Play! has had some success with playing PS2 games on L4T Ubuntu, albeit at around 10 FPS. On Android, some notable emulators are DraStic, Dolphin, and Citra. |
