{{for|software that emulates the Switch|Nintendo Switch emulators}}
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].
