The '''[[wikipedia:Nintendo Switch|Nintendo Switch]]''' is a ninth-generation hybrid gaming console released by Nintendo in 2017. 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 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.
 
 
 
A "debugging emulator" for the Nintendo Switch, CageTheUnicorn (now [https://github.com/reswitched/Mephisto Mephisto]), popped up not long after the first components were dumped. It was designed to emulate sysmodules with "no support for graphics, sound, input, or any kind of even remotely performant processing [...] by design". It was then revealed that members of both the Citra and Dolphin teams were already working on [[yuzu|their own emulator]] in secret, followed by another developer releasing a Windows-only emulator named Ryujinx.

;yuzu
 
:A cross-platform emulator made by the [[Citra]] team. With the addition of some homebrew apps running properly, three commercial games are officially confirmed to boot with graphics, but running at incredibly slow framerates.<ref name="yuzu">{{cite web|title=First games are running!|url=https://yuzu-emu.org/entry/first-games-are-running/|author=JMC47|date=April 15, 2018|accessdate=April 16, 2018}}</ref>
 
;Ryujinx
 
:A public domain emulator programmed in C# for Windows. Much like yuzu, some homebrew runs and at least one game has been confirmed to boot but runs slowly.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Binding of issac In Game Ryujinx Switch Emulator|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjYWyP-ptRQ|date=April 13, 2018|author=McDev|work=YouTube}}</ref>
