Switch 2 Emulation

Homebrew tools let jailbroken PS5 run Android, Switch 2, and PC games

A developer known as ZiZc3 has released Hydroid, an open-source tool that lets jailbroken PS5 consoles run 64-bit Android games natively by recompiling ARM64 code rather than booting Linux or a virtual machine. Separately, homebrew front ends called Playden and PC5 add Steam and offline PC game support, while developer heydemoura's experimental EglantinePS5 emulator brings early Nintendo Switch 2 game compatibility to the console.

Eden-NX2 emulator brings early Nintendo Switch 2 game support to PC

Developers have released Eden-NX2, a fork of the Eden emulator, adding experimental support for running Nintendo Switch 2 games on PC. The emulator can already launch titles such as Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, though compatibility and performance remain works in progress. Developers say the task was eased because the Switch 2 largely reuses the original Switch's hardware architecture and operating system.
