Title: Hackers have made Retro Emulators Available for Nintendo Switch
Post by: pokeplayer984 on January 31, 2018, 02:53:28 PM
Hackers do what they do best.  They take a piece of hardware and see just what it has to offer.  They experiment and break down the coding.  This happens with every new gaming system that comes out.

Of course, there will be emulators.  Turns out, there are some emulators that are already available that can work for the Nintendo Switch.  The only catch is that they are only available to those who have up to Firmware Version 3.0.  So, if you have updated recently, you won't get them to work.  They are working hard to make them available to everyone so we'll see.

Check out the list in the following article.  You might be surprised.

Your choice to download those.  I won't judge if you do.

In the meantime, looks like I have a reason to buy a second Nintendo Switch.  It'll be strictly for Emulation purposes, but if it becomes available for real, I'll buy it.

See ya later! :wave

Already? Wow. I’ve got a PS1/PS2 emulator, the PS2 one doesn’t work very well though.
