RetroArch Cores currently available on the Switch: We already covered the working consoles on Nintendo Switch in detail and you can see the extensive detail here. RetroArch team, Team Xecuter, and fail0verflow have been working on the emulation and Team Xecuter are actually working on a physical modchip for the Switch as well. There are already so many emulators available for the Nintendo Switch, the GameCube, which is a Nintendo console, could very well be emulated for the Switch soon. Now while none of this confirms that the Switch has a working emulator for GameCube, but it shows us that there is a definite possibility for such an emulator to be created. Nintendo GameCube logoįurther research on the APK from the shield revealed that the game for in fact was running on an emulator, the most interesting thing to note here is that the Shield has a very similar architecture to the Switch, both devices share the Tegra X1 chip powered by NVIDIA. What’s interesting to note here, is that there were 2 notorious consistent game crashes on the original GC did not crash the game on the Shield, these 2 crashes were recently fixed in the Dolphin Emulator as well, raising questions if these fixes are in fact the work of an emulator. You can watch the stream here. Twitch user pheenoh actually imported said Shield and played the entire game and did some glitch testing and it turns out that the game is running smoothly and without any crashes or issues.
