Hello everyone. For the last while here I've been working on porting ARMSX2 to the Switch, and it's finally to a point where I think it can be properly released to the world. Certainly don't expect anything crazy from this. It gets about 45-70% speed most of the time and that's with a max overclock on my V1 Switch. Without overclocking it doesn't even reach half speed in the PS2 BIOS. Maybe newer Switches with better overclocking potential can do better? I also plan to work on optimisations more so that hopefully it can run better. I never expect full speed though no matter how much I try to optimise this.

The release can be found here: https://github.com/PalindromicBreadLoaf/ARMSX2-NX. Be sure to put the resources folder extracted from the zip into /switch/armsx2/resources and put your legally dumped BIOS in /switch/armsx2/bios/.

Have fun if you decide to try it out! If you find any issue with games that you try to run (beside the abhorrent speeds) be sure to create issues on the repo (or make comments here) so that I can look into it with the renderer.

Please suggest better names for this project if you have one. ARMSX2-NX is so purely functional and not fun at all but I'm not creative.

Also if someone wants to create a custom logo for this I would appreciate it rather than just re-use ARMSX2's logo.
