All of my projects start with song/band-related codenames. This emulator is based on the Unicorn Engine and I was listening to Cage the Elephant when I started it, so it was an easy one.

 

I'm wondering how long before someone forks and tries to get it to run games.
My crystal ball says:
SoonTM

Jokes aside this is some seriously impressive stuff. Everything in it goes over my head, but glad to see team reswitched having fun with Nintendo's latest console.

 

I seriously considered working on a 'real' Switch emulator once my part in the ReSwitched effort has completed (that is, once we have useful homebrew and/or Linux booting (hopefully the latter) -- I don't plan to be particularly involved beyond that). However, I'm pretty sure that I'm being dragged into kicking off a new startup, so that's going to have to fall to someone else. CTU isn't useful for games, obviously, but it does provide a ton of information about how the system as a whole works and provides a pretty decent template for what a 'real' emulator will look like. Hopefully someone uses that and builds one!

 

Yeah, MK8D is a weird one. Given that there's nothing interesting in its SDK binary (at least, as far as I've seen) there are no plans to make it or other 32-bit binaries work in CTU; way too much work to make that happen. It's a bit baffling to me that 32-bit binaries are supported whatsoever on the Switch. Seems like a lot of work for essentially zero value.

 

Fuuuuuck hahahaha
