    team Libretro have released a new version of the multi system emulator for the Nintendo Switch:

    Thanks to the hard work of the RetroNX devs (natinusala and m4xw), we now have an official RetroArch release for Switch!

    You can download RetroArch for Switch here.
    Installation instructions

    You will need a Nintendo Switch capable of running homebrew for this to work.

    Download the RetroArch 7z file for Switch (download link above).
    Extract its contents and just drag and drop retroarch and the switch folder onto the root of the SD card.
    Open Hbmenu, and start RetroArch.

    IMPORTANT: Please start RetroArch Switch with a fresh install (in case you already had RetroNX installed before)
    and migrate savegames from /retroarch/cores/save{files, states} to the same folder on the new installation.
    Features

    OpenGL support
    Thanks to Mesa/Nouveau support, this Switch version comes with full-blown OpenGL support (thanks to fincsdev). This means that all of the advanced features available on the PC should be available on Switch as well! GLSL shaders should be supported, overlays are supported, and thanks to OpenGL support, we can use hardware-accelerated menus such as XMB/MaterialUI (with full thumbnail support, theming, etc). In addition to all this, it allows us to port libretro cores that require the use of OpenGL later in the future, such as Parallel N64, OpenLara, and potentially more like Reicast/PPSSPP/etc!
    Touchscreen support (for MaterialUI/etc)
    natinusala saw to it that this initial version received touchscreen support. Right now the DPI (Dots Per Inch) is kinda hardcoded for portable and not really meant for dock mode. This will be improved in the near future.
    Full networking support.
    Online multiplayer (with peer-to-peer and MITM matchmaking) should be available from Day One. Take note that performance of the core heavily matters in terms of the kind of quality you get out of your online experience, since the netplay implementation is rollback-based. Aside from multiplayer, you can also download cores, update assets, and all the features you would expect on the PC version.
    RetroAchievements support
    By registering an account at Retro Achievements and inputting your account details into RetroArch, you can obtain achievements for your games.
    Game scanning
    Scanning of your games should fully work, except for perhaps PS1 images right now.
    Split Joy-Con support
    If you go to Settings -> Input and enable Split Joy-Con (1 to , you can use a full Joy-Con as two separate controllers!
    Core downloader
    From Day One, it should be possible to download and update new cores as they arrive on a daily basis without even having to wait for the next RetroArch stable!
    Runahead support
    RetroArch Switch comes with runahead support from Day One! This is our game-changing feature that allows you to beat latency and even go beyond the fast response times of the original hardware. Performance of this feature is heavily dependent on the ‘performance’ level of the core and the Switch’s relative power. Try experimenting with cores, and don’t forget to turn it of for more demanding cores that balk under the pressure. Because RetroArch offers such a wide array of cores even for the same system, it’s entirely possible that one specific SNES or Genesis core is fast enough for the kind of runahead at x frames configuration that you are looking for.

    44 Cores at Launch!

    fgsdfgs has ported Doom 64 over to the Nintendo Switch:

    I ported Doom 64 EX to the Switch.
    Doom 64 EX is a reverse-engineering project aimed to recreate Doom64 as close as possible with additional modding features.

    Features:

    hardware accelerated rendering;
    sound and music;
    analog controls;
    all other features of Doom 64 EX probably work (except network games).


    To install and run the game, follow these steps:

    Obtain a Doom 64 ROM in either n64, z64 or v64 format. I think region and version do not matter, as long as the ROM is unmodified.
    Extract the wadgen folder from doom64ex_nx_v010.zip to somewhere on your PC.
    Run wadgen/WadGen.exe and point it to your Doom 64 ROM. This should generate two files inside the wadgen folder: DOOM64.WAD and DOOMSND.SF2.
    Extract the switch folder from doom64ex_nx_v010.zip to the root of your SD card.
    Copy DOOM64.WAD and DOOMSND.SF2 you got in step 3 to /switch/doom64ex/ on your SD card.

    If you already have Doom 64 EX installed on your PC or something, you can just do steps 4 and 5 right away, using the files from your existing installation.

    download https://github.com/fgsfdsfgs/Doom64EX

    Doom 3 has been ported to the Nintendo Switch by fgsfdsfgs

    Initial Switch release. More of a PoC than an actual playable port.

    Default graphics settings in the supplied dhewm.cfg are: shadows disabled, detail level set to "Medium".
    Installation

    Unzip dhewm3nx_v010.zip to the root of your SD card.
    Copy over pak000.pk4 through pak008.pk4 from your PC Doom 3 installation's base folder to /switch/dhewm3/base/. Make sure the game is patched to the latest version (1.3.1). The Steam version is already patched. Doom 3 BFG files won't work.
    You can now run the game using the NSP version of Homebrew Menu. It will run in applet mode using the Album HBMenu, but loading any map except the test box will make it run out of memory and crash.

    fgsfdsfgs has released a port of Quake 3 for the Nintendo Switch:

    Installation

    Extract ioquake3nx_v010.zip onto the root of your SD card.
    Copy the baseq3 folder from your Quake 3 installation to /switch/ioquake3/. DO NOT replace any files if prompted. Make sure the baseq3 folder contains files pak0.pk3 through pak8.pk3, i.e. you have installed the 1.32 Point Release patch onto your Quake 3 installation.
    Run ioquake3-nx from Homebrew Launcher. The NSP version of hbmenu is recommended, as some actions require additional memory (e.g. connecting to almost any online server).

    WARNING: This port is still very glitchy. Expect crashes and below average performance.

    If it crashes, check /switch/ioquake3/crashlog.txt for information.

    Hi,

    Just uploaded a new release (2.12), which, unfortunately, doesn't fix anything but add OpenGL ES rendering, which is faster : https://github.com/Cpasjuste/scummvm/releases/tag/2.12

    update for SDL2 OpenGL ES2 renderer (faster).
    update to latest ScummVM git (2018-09-20)

    Cpasjuste has released a new version of the arcade emulator Portable Final Burn Alpha for the Nintendo Switch:

    pFBA 2.0:

    use OpenGL for rendering, which allow some nicer ui effects, and of course, more power (thanks armada, fincs, subv... for theire work on mesa/nouveau)
    point filtering can now be used in any rendering size
    add a few libretro shaders (retro-v2, scanlines, pixellate, crt easymode, crt geom, sharp bilinear, sharp bilinear scanlines, sabr v3, xbrz, supereagle). Note that some shader will work better in integer scaling (2x, 3x), and some will have a better effect with linear filtering (sharp bilinear). Also, some are very intensive (crt geom, sabr, xbrz) and may not work fullspeed in some emulators (pSNES).
    add fps counter option
