During its development, the Switch was known as the NX (often shortened short for NeXt or Nintendo "Cross") and was widely speculated up until its announcement. Aside from specialized components unique to GBA) the console, the hardware is more or less off-the-shelf, being built around a 32semi-custom variant of Nvidia's Tegra X1 system-on-a-chip which was also used on a number of [[Android emulators|Android devices]]. The Switch contains 4 ARM Cortex-A57 CPUs and 4 ARM Cortex-bit handheld video A53 CPUs running at 1.020 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 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 were missing important files to run and even if they had been completed, there were no custom homebrew apps let alone solutions to load unofficial game console developed 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 system, later officially recognized by Nvidia as CVE-2018-6242. A "debugging emulator" for the NintendoSwitch, CageTheUnicorn (now [https://github. It is the successor to com/reswitched/Mephisto Mephisto]), popped up not long after the Game Boy Colorfirst components were dumped. It was released designed to emulate sysmodules with "no support for graphics, sound, input, or any kind of even remotely performant processing [...] by design". A couple of months later, members of both the [[Citra]] and [[Dolphin]] teams announced the release of [[yuzu|their own emulator written in Japan on March 21c++]], 2001which was capable of booting some homebrew applications; within a couple of weeks yet another emulator named [[Ryujinx]], written in North America on June 11c# by developer gdkchan, 2001; in Australia was released showing successful booting of commercial Switch games Puyo Puyo Tetris and Europe on June 22, 2001Sonic Mania.

==Comparisons==* ;[[mGBAyuzu]] is a GBA emulator that aims to be accurate while maintaining speed. It's actively developed and has features that VBA-M lacks such as Solar/Tilt Sensor.* [[Visual Boy Advance -M|Visual Boy Advance-M (VBA-M)]] is a fork of VBA with additional improvements. It is not updated as often these days and is falling behind in terms of accuracy and performance compared to mGBA.** RetroArch's VBA-Next is based off an older revision of VBA-M with added speedhacks and tweaks, making it useful for lower-end devices. It is a bit less accurate in some respects, though it fixes a few games such as Advance Wars 2. * [[gpSP]] last official version was 0.9 by Exophase. There are, however, two superior forks: [http://dl.qj.net/psp/emulators/gpsp-mod-20090720.html gpSPmod] and [http://filetrip.net/psp-downloads/homebrew/download-gpsp-j-12-06-16-f29570.htmlgpSP-J gpSP-J]. gpSP-J has superior compatibility, while gpSPmod has more options for customization (full screen, cheats, etc). Both are superior to Kai.* [[higan]]'s GBA core is cycle-accurate, but up to v094 it was very much a WIP and not as compatible as VBA-M or mGBA. v095 made amazing strides, resulting in compatibility on par with mGBA. ==Emulation issues=<small class= ===Oversaturation===[[File:1406913527173-1-.png|400px|thumb|right|Left showing the default game, and right showing [[VBA-M]] in "Gameboy Colorsplainlinks" mode]]The original GBA screen was not backlit, so the screen would appear to be rather dark. To compensate for this, games would have very saturated and bright colors. The bright, overly saturated colors would appear rather normal on the GBA. In emulation, however, the appearance of these colors are undesirable. Some games made after 2003 may look better with the backlit colors, however, as they were designed with the GBA SP in mind. For everything else, there are several ways to deal with this: '''No$GBA''' Under "Emulation Options", select "GBA Mode. There are four modes. - GBA (no backlight) = strong desaturation - GBA SP (backlight) style= strong desaturation - Nintendo DS in GBA mode = some desaturation - VGA Mode (poppy bright): no desaturation '''VBA-M''' (VBA-M for Windows only) Under "Optionsfont->Gameboy" you will find the optionsweight: - "Real Colors": no desaturation - "Gameboy Colorsnormal;": strong desaturation '''higan''' Under Settings->Video Filter, you will find the "Color Emulation" checkbox. - Color Emulation off: no desaturation - Color Emulation on: gamma correction and adjusted color range. '''Shaders''' There are Cg [[shaders]] which can be used in [[OpenEMU]] or [([RetroArch]] that adjust the colors to those of a real GBA screen, as well as other screen types.  For GBA, there is <code>gba-color.cg</code><ref>https://github.com/libretro/commonyuzu-shaders/blob/master/handheld/shaders/color/gba-coloremu.cg<org/ref>, which simulates the color profile of a GBA screen under an external light source more accurately than VBA-M or No$GBA color options. If you prefer the darker color options that those emulators have, then use <code>vba-color.cg</code><ref>https://github.com/libretro/common-shaders/blob/master/handheld/shaders/color/vba-color.cggame compatibility])</refsmall> instead.  There is also <code>nds-color.cg</code><ref>https://github.com/libretro/commonAn open-shaders/blob/master/handheld/shaders/color/nds-color.cg</ref> and <code>psp-color.cg</code><ref>https://github.com/libretro/common-shaders/blob/master/handheld/shaders/color/psp-color.cg</ref>, which simulates the color profiles of the original Nintendo DS frontlit screen and the PSP-1000/PSP-2000 backlit screen, respectively. ===Save file issues===There are a number of different save formats for GBA games. With raw save data, it's very hard to detect what save type it is just by looking at it. Visual Boy Advance tries to autodetect save type but often is incorrect and this causes issues. A fix to this issue is to use a file called "vba-over.ini" to tell VBA what each game's proper save type is, which eliminates most issues regarding save type. Current VBA-M versions come with vba-over.ini source emulator made by default, but older versions of VBA like VBA 1.7.2 and VBALink did not. The libretro versions of VBA, libretro-VBA-Next and libretro-VBA-M, come with vba-over.ini baked into the binary so it is able to load raw .sav files, but also changes the save file output to be a 136KB .srm file for every save type, with save type info contained within the file. This completely avoids any save type issues, but makes its save files incompatible with standalone VBA and most other emulators. Libretro devs created a [https://github.com/libretro/vbam-libretro/blob/master/src/libretro/gbaconv/gbaconv.c command line tool] to convert libretro-VBA .srm save files to raw .sav save data for other emulators. You can just drag and drop a .srm onto the executable and it will output raw .sav. The same can be done in reverse. A precompiled Windows 64-bit binary of this tool can be found [https://www.mediafire.com/?6bg8ag0bjs1b7ng here]. ==Connectivity=====GBA Link Multiplayer (1~4GBA)===* VBA-M: This doesn't work with old VBA versions.  Just disable "Pause when Inactive", configure all four Joypads each with their own button layout, enable "Link, Enable GBA Link". Now open VBA-M again as much times needed for each player, and have them each use their separate Joypad configuration. Each player will have a separate SRAM save file. * VBA Link + e-ReaderA combined version many of VBA Link and VBA e-Reader is useful if you want to use the Pokémon Battle-e Cards. Downloads and instructions reside [http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?42433-RELEASE-VBA-LINK-E-READER here]. * mGBAWhile running mGBA, select "New multiplayer window" from the menu. As you load your ROMs into each window, "Player [XCitra] of [Y]" will appear across the title bar. This can be done for up to four players. However, multiple instances of the same ROM will share a save file. * No$GBA: This method also works with DS roms, and that's the actual way to see the incomplete non-functional local Wi-Fi DS multiplayer implementationdevelopers. (todo) ===GameCube Connectivity===The GBA unit can connect to As it is a GameCube. ====Dolphin and VBA-M==== Game Boy connection support can be supported via joybus emulation. Such requires VBA-M (r947 or newer) and a dump hard fork of a GBA BIOS. '''Connect 1~4 GBA Unit Without Game to GC Game''' First Part!* Open Dolphin and VBA-M. Make sure neither are blocked by your firmware.* '''Dolphin:''' Start your game and play until you get to the in-game menu where you're asked to connect a GBA. Under the GC controller options (earlier "Config, Gamecube", now Citra it's with the GC/Wii controller options). You have 4 GC controller ports: change how much you need to "GBA". Leave the game and shares many of its music running :)* '''VBA-M:''' You'll need to uncheck "Optionstraits, Emulator, Pause When Inactive". Then, under "Options, Link, Joybus Options", Make sure to enable "Enable Joybus Connection" and set "IP/Hostname" to use default settings, that is (127.0.0.1) or (localhost) namely cross- without the brackets. * THEN, Dolphin will freeze. You'll want to not have the system sound too high if you're using headphones.  Second Part!* '''VBA-M''': Open the GBA BIOS in VBA-M as if it were a regular GBA ROM. There will be that splash screen but it will stutter a bit. * Dolphin should recognize the Joybus Link by then platform support and the GC game will detect that a GBA unit was connected.* To connect other GBA units, open another VBA-M instance and repeat what you did with VBA-M. Notable games that work:* The Legend use of Zelda Four Swords Adventures: Both two modes available for the US/PAL version work. The third Japan-only Navi Trackers mode works as well, but the game crashes after the naming screen due to a bug in the GC/GBA connectivity.* Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles* Billy Hatcher: You can download games to your GBA. Amusingly, a RAM dump from VBA-M can be opened as a functional GBA ROM.* Kururin Squash* Sonic Adventure 2 OpenGL (buggy) Don't work:* The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker: Tingle Trainer connection always fails, though some messages do display on VBA-M.* Drill Land* Any Pokémon game* lots more '''Connect GBA Game to GC Game''' * '''VBA-M''': Under "Emulator, Bios Files" set the GBA BIOS file directory, and have the emulator use unlike Citra it. This will cause each regular GBA rom you load in VBA-M to show the BIOS splash screen then proceed to the game. It has higher compatibility too.* You do the all the steps above in the '''first part''' of the previous section (connecting a GBA unit without Game to a GC gamealso supports Vulkan) until the line with Dolphin freezing when you enable Joylink in VBA-M. Then:* '''VBA-M''': Open the regular GBA ROM to be connected with the GC game in VBA-M as if it were a regular GBA ROM. * There will be that splash screen, but if you do nothing the GBA game starts as usual and the connection doesn't actually happen. What you must do is to hold '''Select+Start''' while the BIOS is loading. This will cause the BIOS animation to stop and wait for connections, and the regular GBA ROM game won't boot immediately. If it goes as intended, VBA-M will stutter a bit and the connection will be initiated.* Dolphin should recognize the Joybus Link by then and the GC game will detect that a GBA unit was connected.* To connect other GBA units, open another VBA-M instance and repeat what you did with VBA-M. Please note e-Reader functionality with GC Many 2D games isn't emulated as of yet. ====Dolphin now render graphics properly and other emulators====Dolphin devs are working at rewriting the entire GBA connectivity code in a far better way from scratch with more accurate emulators. They did a video using the higan emulator. Nothing of the sort is published at the moment. ===GBA/DS Connectivity===Inserting a GBA card in Slot-2 in a Nintendo DS unit (that's not a DSi) while a DS game is running could unlock various gameplay features in some DS good speeds; many 3D gamesare playable. DesMume can emulate this: while playing the DS ROM, go to "Config, Slot 2 (GBA Slot)" and select "GBA Cartridge". Now select the GBA ROM file, and make sure its sav file is in the same folder. You may need to reset the game sometimes to see the effect in-game. ===e-Reader===A device that connects to the GBA, which can read content off e-Card paper stripes either as standalone content, or additional content to GBA games (or even GC ones). Also known as the GBA's DLC. ''Main Page: [[GBA e-Reader emulators]]'' ==Special Hardware==Most of these have not been emulated as of yet. There used to be patches that could be applied to GBA ROMs with a utility like LunarIPS (mostly from [http://bubbz.pocketheaven.com/?system=gba&section=patch No Frills]), but they're for the most part lost to time nowadays. Your best bet is to use Action Replay to emulate those. ===Solar Sensor=======Emulation====This feature has been emulated in mGBA, VBA-M and no$gba 2.6 onwards:* mGBA: In the shortcuts editor, shortcuts can be configured to raise/lower the solar level incrementally or to set any particular brightness level. * VBA-M: This emulator uses the keys of the lateral motion controls currently offers early access builds to change the Solar Sensor levels. You can find those keys and modify them in Options -> Input -> Configure... -> "Special" tab.* no$GBA: Under '''Options/Emulation Setup''', you can find the Solar Sensor Level option. You are given the choice between only three brightness levels though: Darkness, 100 Watts, and Bright Sunlight. ====ROM Patches====Fixes applied directly to the ROM by various scene release groups to make it compatible with any emulator5/flashcard, making the in-game brightness level controllable with L+Left/Right. It's argued this makes for a better experience actually, but sadly not all releases are covered.* '''Boktai 1:''' month [http://www.advanscene.com/html/Releases/dbreleases.php?id=1567 JP], [http://www.advanscene.com/html/Releases/dbreleases.php?id=1145 US], <s>EU</s>.* '''Boktai 2:''' [http://www.advanscene.com/html/Releases/dbreleases.php?id=1567 JPEmulators on Patreon|Patreon], <s>US</s>, [http://www.advanscene.com/html/Releases/dbreleases.php?id=1992 EU]. * '''Boktai 3:''' [http://www.advanscene.com/html/Releases/dbreleases.php?id=2048 JP Fix].* Combinations of Boktai 4 JP with earlier solar sensors subscribers which allows them to utilize new features prior to get solar sensor bonuses aren't emulated yet in any DS emulator. ===Motion Control===VBA-M has an option for Motion controls "Input, Set, Motion"their eventual release on the mainline build. It currently works with all versions One of the GBC title Kirby Tiltyuzu'n Tumble, which also was a special cartridge with a motion sensor builts notable features is its disk-in to control movement in-game. But VBA-M does not support motion controls based shader cache for GBA games yet.====Emulation====* VBA '''doesn't''' emulate this featureOpenGL, and its "Motion Control" option (with keys mapped to each tilt direction) covers negating the GBC title Kirby Tilt'n Tumble.* mGBA supposedly includes this feature but key remapping for tilt sensors is not present in the latest builds.====ROM Patches====Fixes applied directly need to compile shaders on the ROM (with the LunarIPS utility, or at runtime using mGBA or VBA-M and naming them the same as the ROM in the same directory) by various scene release groups to make it compatible with any emulator/flashcardfly on every boot. D-Pad controls substituting motion controls don't work as well here as they tilt it "too much" at times to be very playable.* Yoshi Topsy Turvy/Universal Gravitation: [http://www.advanscene.com/html/Releases/dbreleases.php?id=1799 JP], [http://www.advanscene.com/html/Releases/dbreleases.php?id=1947 EU], [http://www.advanscene.com/html/Releases/dbreleases.php?id=2001 US]* Warioware Twisted!

Partially emulated by VBAreleased a closed source LDN-M GX (Wii-only, functional), mGBA has this feature but it's not enabled in current builds.* '''Game Boy Player Rumble:''' Many regular GBA games, shipped on regular cartridges, enable rumble during gameplay when played on GB Player hardware (which is essentially GBA hardware). These include Super Mario Advance 4, Summon Night Hajimari no Ishi, Mario & Luigi 1, Shikakui Atama wo Marukusuru Advance (both releases), Pokémon Pinballpreview build supporting local wireless multiplayer across the internet, as well as Drill Dozer which disables its original cartridge rumble scheme and enables this one instead. None of the emulators support this, though it's being under development for the mGBA emulatorLAN mode compatibility on local networks with Switch consoles on supported games.

===Other Add-ons===;Egg NSNot emulated yet:Claimed the first spot in getting games running on Android. 81 titles are purported to work, and the rest are either not working or assumed to fail. There is significant controversy surrounding this emulator for the following reasons: the current version lacks any onscreen buttons and instead requires users to purchase a specific controller; it expects to run on a high-end device within the ballpark of a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855/855+/865/865+; it was discovered to have violated GPLv2 licensing requirements by using code from yuzu in a disallowed manner. Made by the Chinese illegal market.
