Future Supports: Android, macOS ARM
Important
Pound is still in early development — don't expect miracles.
Initial focus is on implementing the CPU, leveraging its architectural similarities to the original Nintendo Switch. Later stages will address differences in hardware between the two console generations.
See the compilation guide for detailed instructions on how to compile Pound.
Pound reuses selected components from existing Nintendo Switch 1 emulators, primarily Yuzu.
All third-party code is clearly documented and properly attributed in the relevant parts of the repository.
(coming soon)
- Distributed under the GNU GPL-2.0 license
- Parts of the emulator are based on code from the Yuzu project.
- The phrase "don't expect miracles" is borrowed from the oboromi project by Nikilite — a Nintendo Switch 2 emulator written in Rust.
