Android to switch port is in development, soon we'll be able to emulate our switch on android on switch using switch homebrew, ultimate switchception imminent

 

Crash with mi mix 2s lineage 16. Storage permissions are enabled.

 

Cool start, keep at it! Sounds promising!! Even if it won't ever play games, debugging homebrew on Android seems useful.

 

What you are doing is pointless. You aren't going to successfully emulate the switch on arm hardware. Instead, people should be trying to find a way to run horizon natively

 

No working for me. The Test.nro (and all other downloaded .nros) gives me a loading error on Device Storage ;( for me a not really announcement that will say this will run Switch Games/Homebrews in the Future sry.

 

cool project, but the switch has better specs than a phone.
I think more than a Hello World wont load

 

That's just not true. The switch uses the same hardware as the nvidia shield, and that hardware is just old. The cpu on it is outclassed completely, and iirc the gpu is surpassed by newer phone gpus. That's comparing the Nvidia shield to phones. The switch cpu and gpu is underclocked a good amount, especially in handheld mode. Really the only thing the switch has going for it is the active cooling with a fan, and optimization since it's uniform hardware.

 

Hey! I just created an account to say that you did a great work! Being an iOS Developer and having made a simple Emulator myself, I know what it takes and how hard it is to even Port one from another code base.

I want you to keep in mind, ignore the people criticizing your work by saying that a switch emulator for android is useless or that it wont ever be able to run games or other shit. Most of them probably aren't even developers themselves and thus don't recognise your effort.

But there many like me who knows the pain and recognise your work

And to other guys: Writing an emulator that isnt able to emulate might sound dumb to you all, but keep in mind that we developers not only code to create stuff that is 100% perfect, we code because it is what we love, the Switch Emulator for Android may be a proof of concept right now, but as Ryujinx improves so will MonoNX and probably few years down the line we might have a smartphone that would be able to emulate Switch successfully.


Also btw,
I tried your emulator and I was having the same crash after loading the rom from the root directory.
(Tried on an S8+ Exynos, storage permission enabled, Android 9)
