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. We have limited resources/time at the moment, if you want to contribute you are free to do so.
Overview
Join the Pound Discord Server!
Pound is an early-stage emulator for the Nintendo Switch 1 and 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.
