Nintendo Switch Emulators? (pawb.social)

The two mainstream ones are out of development. I live under rocks, but not so many rocks that I don't know this.

I was hoping for either a backup of them as they were, or some fork(s) that continued development.

I'm with you man, I'm all in favor of the idea. It's just that I'm pretty sure that Nintendo looked at that market and decided that the risk to their core business was too great to take the plunge.

If anything, I think they'd just release their first party titles on other platforms before releasing a first party emulator (though I'd welcome either).

I don't think I'd buy a Switch either if I could get the games easily and reliably elsewhere, like on the steamdeck.
