**Pound** is an early-stage emulator for the **Nintendo Switch 2**, targeting **Windows**, **Linux** and **macOS** (Intel).
Future Supports: **Android**, **macOS ARM**
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Pound is still in early development — don't expect miracles.
Initial focus is on implementing the **CPU**, leveraging its architectural similarities to the original Nintendo Switch. Later stages will address differences in hardware between the two console generations.
## How to Compile Pound
See the [**compilation guide**](/resources/docs/compguide.md) for detailed instructions on how to compile Pound.
## Codebase
Pound reuses selected components from existing Nintendo Switch 1 emulators, primarily **Yuzu**.
All third-party code is clearly documented and properly attributed in the relevant parts of the repository.
