The core of the machine-type support is the new operations table, kvm_ops_t. This acts as a standard C-style virtual table decoupling the generic KVM core logic from target specific hardware emualtion. The kvm_t VM instance now points to an ops table, which defines the "personality" of the guest. A kvm_probe() factory function has been added to initialize a kvm_t instance with the correct ops table for a given machine type (eg, Switch 1). The ops table's .mmio_read and .mmio_write function pointers are the link between the armv8 CPU core and this new MMIO dispatcher. When a physical memory access is determined to be MMIO, the VM will call the appropriate function pointer, which in turn will use the MMIO dispatcher to find and execute the correct device handler. The initial implementation for the Switch 1 target (targets/switch1/hardware/probe.cpp) is a stub. The bootstrapping logic will be added in subsequent patches.

“i think of getting pounded when i see that [name]” – Satisfied Customer
Note
Do you think the name "Pound" makes this a scam?
Do you think since the switch 2 hasn't been hacked this project is automatically a scam?
Do you think this project can't use switch 1 firmware dumps to set the foundation for when the switch 2 gets hacked?
Do you think the commits pushed to the main and arm64 branch are a scam?
Do you think the development progress posted on our discord are a scam?
If so then simply close this browser tab and move on.
if you have knowlege in Arm64 architecture please come to our server and help out.
Overview
Join the Pound Discord Server!
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.
