The '''[[wikipedia:Nintendo Switch|Nintendo Switch]]''' is an eighth-generation hybrid gaming console released by Nintendo on March 3, 2017 and retailed for $299.99 ($310.13 in 2018 money). 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.

'''Ensata''' is a [[Nintendo DS emulators|Nintendo DS emulator]] made by Nintendo, named after the Nintendo DS's codename. Its function was to be a quick debugger for developers and eventually it ran commercial games - though compatibility is very low. Originally two versions (v1.3c and v1.4d) were leaked from official sources in 2005 and 2006, albeit cracked in a way that let users play games through these emulators. Later, in 2020, the source code was leaked showing development continued on until 2009. An interesting function is its ability to emulate the physical gap between the two screens of an actual Nintendo DS system.
  
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 an emulator named [[Ryujinx]].

Ensata is a Nintendo DS emulator made by Nintendo, named after the Nintendo DS's codename. Its function was to be a quick debugger for developers and eventually it ran commercial games - though compatibility is very low. Originally two versions (v1.3c and v1.4d) were leaked from official sources in 2005 and 2006, albeit cracked in a way that let users play games through these emulators. Later, in 2020, the source code was leaked showing development continued on until 2009. An interesting function is its ability to emulate the physical gap between the two screens of an actual Nintendo DS system.
