Eglantine
An open-source Switch 2 emulator built on Eden, yuzu and Sudachi. A starting point for exploring the scene.
The overview
The starting point
Written in C++, Eglantine publishes desktop builds. Its README reports Mario Kart World running at speeds that depend on the setup, and variable performance in Splatoon Raiders.
Eglantine
Getting started
The repository links to an inherited Eden Quick Start. Its menu names are a starting point; use the Eglantine build and executable supplied by the release you choose.
Prepare your system
On Windows, install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable required by the handbook. Prepare your own console-dumped games, keys and firmware.
Choose and unpack a build
Download Eglantine from its own Releases page, choosing your OS and CPU architecture. Extract the full archive and launch the included application. The handbook also covers Steam Deck and macOS.
Set up system files
The inherited guide uses Tools → Install Decryption Keys, then Tools → Install Firmware → From Folder or From ZIP. Select the files you prepared from your console.
Add games and configure input
Double-click the empty main window to select your game directory. Open Emulation → Configure → Input, map your controller, save, and double-click a game to start.
