SWITCH2E / Our methodology
Built for discovery. Grounded in sources.
Switch2e is an independent directory of Switch 2 emulator projects and game-specific forks. We help you compare identities and find original downloads.
Recommendations have an evidence level
We distinguish a developer’s reported result from a project’s stated focus and from an unverified research candidate. None is presented as an independent Switch2e benchmark. We do not invent FPS, scores or compatibility percentages.
The original maintainer is the source
Every project page links to its repository and releases. Renames and forks are identified separately. Upstream README inheritance is not treated as proof that another fork has identical features or platform builds.
Dates describe an actual review
The source-review date records editorial verification. Release sync timestamps describe only metadata retrieval. They do not automatically mark game compatibility as re-tested. Updates are made in the versioned data files.
Independent, transparent and lightweight
Switch2e is not an official Nintendo or emulator project website. It hosts no game files, keys or firmware. This version has no analytics, ads, tracking cookies or account system. External sites have their own privacy practices.
Sources & review
Project descriptions and recommendations are editorial summaries of the linked primary sources. Sources last reviewed on .
03 / A LITTLE CONTEXT
Good questions. Clear answers.
A few things to know before your first download.
Our methodology ↗What is a Switch 2 emulator?
It is software that attempts to reproduce Nintendo Switch 2 system behavior on other hardware. The projects in this directory are experimental and have different goals and compatibility.
Which Switch 2 emulator should I choose?
Start with your game. Eglantine is a general starting point; PokeDinner focuses on Pokopia, Fortune’s Eden on Fortune’s Weave, and Selevet publishes experimental builds for Mario Kart World and Ocarina of Time. Read the evidence and platform requirements first.
Are these games guaranteed to work?
No. We distinguish developer reports, project focus and unverified suggestions. Game version, emulator build, hardware and settings all affect the result. Switch2e has not independently benchmarked these games.
Where do the downloads come from?
Download links lead to the original maintainer’s repository or release assets. Switch2e does not repackage or host emulator binaries, games, keys or firmware.
Is Frizti/Lichii the same as Lichii?
Frizti/Lichii now redirects to Frizti/Fritchii. It is a separate fork from zortos293/Lichii. Switch2e lists them separately to avoid confusing their releases.
Does “60 FPS patch” guarantee 60 FPS?
No. Fortune’s Eden describes an optional patch that is disabled by default. Its normal target is 30 FPS, and actual performance depends on hardware and settings.
