Description
Damon Switch is an experimental open-source emulator for the Nintendo Switch from the creators of Egg NS, compatible with Android OS devices.
It is written in Java with portability in mind, with builds actively maintained for Android smartphone.
Features
Damon Switch emulator is capable of running most commercial games at full speed, provided you meet the necessary hardware requirements.
This application is made by the developers of the Nintendo Switch emulator Egg NS, with significant code shared between the projects; originally, Damon Switch emulator only supported test programs and homebrew.
Damon Switch emulator currently requires an OpenGL 4.6 capable GPU and a CPU that has high single-core performance.
It also requires a minimum of 6 GB of RAM; for more details, see the minimum system requirements written on the table below.
Since the Nintendo Switch is a complicated device controller input wise, you will need to change some input settings depending on the game you wish to play, on advanced settings menu.
