Pound is an early-stage emulator for the Nintendo Switch 2, targeting Windows, Linux and macOS (Intel).
Future Supports: Android, macOS ARM
Initial focus is on implementing the architectural similarities to the original Nintendo Switch. Later stages of development will address differences in hardware between the two console generations.
The goal of this project is to experiment, research, and educate on the topic of emulation of modern devices and operating systems. It is not for enabling illegal activity. All information is obtained via reverse engineering of legally purchased devices and games and information made public on the internet (you'd be surprised what's indexed on Google...). We are not any way affiliated with Nintendo or NVidia.
See the compilation guide for detailed instructions on how to compile Pound.
Pound reuses selected components from existing Nintendo Switch 1 emulators, primarily Yuzu.
All third-party code is clearly documented and properly attributed in the relevant parts of the repository.
(coming soon)
- Distributed under the GNU GPL-2.0 license
- Parts of the emulator are based on code from the Yuzu project.
