03 / A LITTLE CONTEXT

Good questions. Clear answers.

A few things to know before your first download.

Our methodology ↗
What is a Switch 2 emulator?

It is software that attempts to reproduce Nintendo Switch 2 system behavior on other hardware. The projects in this directory are experimental and have different goals and compatibility.

Which Switch 2 emulator should I choose?

Start with your game. Eglantine is a general starting point; PokeDinner focuses on Pokopia, Fortune’s Eden on Fortune’s Weave, and Selevet publishes experimental builds for Mario Kart World and Ocarina of Time. Read the evidence and platform requirements first.

Are these games guaranteed to work?

No. We distinguish developer reports, project focus and unverified suggestions. Game version, emulator build, hardware and settings all affect the result. Switch2e has not independently benchmarked these games.

Where do the downloads come from?

Download links lead to the original maintainer’s repository or release assets. Switch2e does not repackage or host emulator binaries, games, keys or firmware.

Is Frizti/Lichii the same as Lichii?

Frizti/Lichii now redirects to Frizti/Fritchii. It is a separate fork from zortos293/Lichii. Switch2e lists them separately to avoid confusing their releases.

Does “60 FPS patch” guarantee 60 FPS?

No. Fortune’s Eden describes an optional patch that is disabled by default. Its normal target is 30 FPS, and actual performance depends on hardware and settings.
