The '''[[wikipedia:Nintendo Switch|Nintendo Switch]]''' is a an eighth-generation hybrid gaming console released by Nintendo in on March 3, 2017 and retailed for {{Inflation|USD|299.99|2017}}. It has a Nvidia Tegra X1 SOC (System On a Chip) with 4 ARM Cortex-A57 CPUs and 4 ARM Cortex-A53 CPUs at 1.020 GHz with 4GB of RAM. It's GPU is a Nvidia GM20B. During its development, the Switch was known as the NX (short for NeXt or Nintendo "Cross") and was 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 emulators|Android devices]].
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 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.

;[[yuzu]]
:A An open-source cross-platform emulator made by the [[Citra]] team. With yuzu has seen it's development pace grow extremely fast during 2018 to the addition of some homebrew apps running properly, a few commercial point that certains games are officially confirmed to boot with graphics,now fully playable.<ref name="yuzu">{{cite web|title=First games are running!|url=[https://yuzu-emu.org/entrygame/firstyuzu -Compatibility list] </ref> Some 2D games now show correct graphics and sometimes good speed.

;[[Ryujinx]]
:A An open-source public domain emulator programmed in C#. Much like [[yuzu]], a few games boot, and some 2D games (i.e. Sonic Mania) and 3D games are playable.Compared to it's early days<ref>[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5rwaENaDLQ Ryujinx - This Emulators Progress is INSANE] (Jul 24, 2018)</ref>, it has now slower development than yuzu but seems to focus on full system accuracy. Most 2D games are now booting despite of confortable speeds and some 3D games are showing graphics.;[[SphiNX]]:A closed-source emulator in the work since late July/August 2018. It can boot some homebrews as well as the title screen of one commercial game. This is more a one person project for personal training at the moment.;Lightswitch:The first attempt at an [[Android]] emulator by [https://github.com/Cyuubi/ Cyuubi], a developer known for the 3DS emulator [https://github.com/Cyuubi/LemonLime/ LemonLime]. Originally known as [https://gbatemp.net/threads/mononx-an-experimental-nintendo-switch-emulator-for-android.531427/ MonoNX], Lightswitch replaced the project due to Xamarin framework's limitations. This new project is being written in C++ and Java using JNI. :This emulator actually displays no graphics at all making it useless for end-users at the moment.
