Hacking Gaming Homebrew Misc Android How well do any of the Nvidia Shield games work on a CFW Switch? Do they work at all?

I was curious on how well any of the Nvidia Shield/Android TV games and ports worked on a modded Nintendo Switch running Android 11.

The Nvidia Shield TV (2015 and 2017 models) and the Nintendo Switch (V1 Erista model) have the same kind of CPU, with the Switch being able to be overclocked to obtain better performance. That aside, I don't know if they would even work at all on a CFW Switch, as they might have problems on Switch beyond performance.

Has anyone got any Nvidia Shield games to work on Switch? Are they worth playing on there? Please let me know.

AFAIK still nobody has defeated the games' DRM to allow them to run on anything but the Shield.

edit: I was assuming you were talking about the Nintendo games. If you mean other games then I have no idea.

They worked in the first year of bringing Android to Switch. But since Nvidia updated app, they are now properly detecting that you are not using Shield and nobody figured out workaround.

Well, that sucks... I really wanted to play Metal Gear Rising on a CFW Switch, but unfortunately EVERYTHING needs a DRM apparently...

Maybe we can still use these old versions of games on an old Android version? Better than nothing I guess...

Launcher requires online authentication. And it won't allow you to boot if it's not up to date. Nobody cracked those games.

Damn, this would be a cool project. Btw are there bounties for things like this? Rising would be a dream!
