The Nintendo Switch Homebrew Scene Is Evolving
Yeah dudes. That's Pokemon Ruby (or maybe Sapphire, we don't know) running on a Nintendo Switch. This proves that the floodgates have been pushed wide open, and you better believe that there's more to come.
Those of you who know and use RetroArch already -- we're looking at you Raspberry Pi owners -- you know that it's not a single emulator, but an entire suite of emulators! At the moment, RetroArch is compatible with this hacked Nintendo Switch, but that doesn't mean that everything works perfectly. Far from it, in fact. At the moment, several RetroArch emulators still need a lot of work, but most of you just want to know how snes9x is running. It's running very well, for your information.
This isn't something you're likely to see yourself, unfortunately. Your Nintendo Switch at home is running a later firmware version that has yet to be prodded open. As far as this author knows, it's firmware version 3.0 that the hacking community has been able to exploit, and no successful attempt has been made on later versions. Good luck finding a 3.0 Nintendo Switch out there.
I know. It's not fair. It's hard seeing people out there with compromised Nintendo Switches, knowing that they're able to poke, prod, and add all kinds of interesting homebrew to their system. Here's another lucky Joe running a port of DOOM on his Switch. How sick would it be to have this game running along with the reboot from Panic Button?!
Hopefully one day we'll all be able to tinker as freely. One day it could lead to save file mods, custom emulators, or even streaming apps like Netflix that we've yet to see release natively on the eShop. We've been keeping a close eye on the Nintendo Switch hacking scene, and we'll be sure to update you as soon as advancements are made.

KyloCrux Pokmon on the switch? **** yeah. That'd be awesome to play black and white on it!
Pokemon on the switch would be the dream. A bigger screen and easier controls would be the bomb. Probably would be one of the main games I would play on this, if not the only.

Mario350ps I love the creative people in the hacking world. This doesn't ruin anything, just makes it more fun and innovative!
until you mod the multiplayer then it ruins everything other then that modded a system is ay ok by me adding custom games and dos games again ok by me but modding the multiplayer of a game ruins it for all, im just glad the modding switch isnt ruining mp, so i would agree it makes it more fun and innovating
Depends on what modding the multiplayer entails. If I'm modding the multiplayer to have more fun with friends in a private lobby or such then I'm all for it.
It only becomes a problem when it affects other players.

It is already out. You just need a switch that is on or below firmware 3.0.0

This is pretty awesome, I can't wait to see how far things go in the next few years. I don't wanna buy one until it's significantly cheaper
