Directory name is crazy work.
Nintendo ninjas see all of this. Move accordingly.
Nintendo: we will never allow games to be put on other systems!!! 😡
People who love preservation and emulation: "Yer new console got hacked let us find the kernel, prepare and create more modchips"
Jokes aside i am slowly working on a switch 2 emulator that is backwards compatible with the og, it currently looks like a mess but it will be open source so others can fix up on any mistakes and fork it and play on whatever hardware they want i would love to see mario kart world running on a smart fridge.

Except this isn’t emulation- this is at best a test of the decrypted files from a previous dump.
No Switch 2 emulator yet exists, and the projects pending are waiting on firmware keys to work.
It’s funny because the usual suspects that totally hate Nintendo come out of the woodworks to tell you how happy they are to play Nintendo games in the weirdest, but expected twist of irony🥃
Because you know what the context is- something that actually has persistence and isn’t tethered to the system and using a layered programming language in backwards compatibility mode to operate.
You know, access to boot0.
That JUST happened and requires a complete recompile to exist on other platforms w/o keys, and will run/look like trash until each and every game is optimized on a case-by-case basis.
I’m not rewriting a game or dumping it off to Claude just for that result, and neither are you.
I mean MK World is running on Mac OS right now. But yeah, it's doing nothing.

This guy spitting my bars line for line and I’m here for it😅🥃
Friendly reminder because people on here are setting themselves up for a rude awakening: “archival backup rights” or "it's for game preservation" does not protect dumping modern currently available console games.
Section 1201 of the DMCA explicitly makes it illegal to bypass access controls and hardware encryption. You can’t dump a Switch 2 cart without breaking Nintendo’s cryptographic keys first, which immediately blows up the personal backup defense. And creating or sharing the toolkits to do it directly violates federal anti-trafficking laws—which is the exact legal weapon Nintendo just used to erase Yuzu from the internet.
Also, to everyone publicly posting gameplay footage and bragging on here that they dumped a Switch 2 cart: you are literally uploading public video evidence of federal copyright circumvention and hardware EULA violations.
Nintendo’s legal team doesn't need to guess who to subpoena or ban when people are handing them signed confessions on a timeline.
You're basically telling them to hit you up.
Why are you using HIS thumbnail- nevermind.
It's just unbelievable how much has happened in the span OF ONLY 6 DAYS:
October 22: Switch 2 exploit is published
October 23: first proof-of-concept homebrew released
October 24: first ROMs dumped
October 25: ROM dumper publicly released for everyone
October 26: first Switch 2 game recomp (MK World) running on macOS
October 27: first Switch 2 emulator proof-of-concept shown, Mario Kart World ported to iPhone, recomps of Pokémon Pokopia, Fire Emblem Fortunes Weave, DK Bananza for PC
We expect within the next few days the emulator and recomp tools will be released publicly.
Nintendo never invested heavily in AI.
Let’s not be coy either- Nintendo is the entire reason you’re making this post because PS5 emulation has been ongoing for months and no one cares to crack Series X.
What’s so crazy is how Switch/Switch 2 have completely validated Wii U as a concept- too many threads and comments online talk about how they use the hybrids INSIDE.
Sure, you can take Switch outside, but if the masses knew that Wii U could do the other half without at TV…👀🎮
Crazy thing about me: I’ve NEVER jumped over Koopa in this game- I’d Fire Flower him to death or run under him when HE jumps.
40 years and I’ve never changed this strat🤷🏾♂️
Shigeru Miyamoto revealed what he considers to be the most intriguing aspect of the first Super Mario Bros. game:
"And the biggest invention, or rather, the most intriguing aspect of Super Mario, is that Mario doesn't actually fight Bowser. Normally, if there's a boss at the end, you have to fight him, right? But creating a battle is difficult, and we were really struggling with how to do it.
When I thought, 'I can't create a battle like this,' I realized that since it's a game where you keep running to the right, how about making it so that the person who reaches the far right wins? Then I had a brilliant idea: 'Why not just jump over the opponent instead of fighting?'
All you have to do is jump over Bowser, and he'll fall. I found it surprisingly fun when I tried it, and I was really happy when I realized that."
