## Overview
|
||
|
||
Join the [**Pound Discord Server**](https://discord.gg/aMmTmKsVC7)!
|
||
|
||
**Pound** is an early-stage emulator for the **Nintendo Switch 2**, targeting **Windows**, **Linux** and **macOS** (
|
||
Intel and Apple Silicon).
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
## Disclaimer
|
||
|
||
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.
