This repository contains Pound, a Nintendo Switch emulator focused on emulating Switch 1 and 2 hardware. The emulator features a modular architecture with CPU emulation handled by the Ballistic ARM recompiler for performance, GPU emulation translating Switch graphics commands to host APIs (Vulkan, OpenGL, DirectX, Metal), and SDL-based cross-platform windowing, input, and audio systems. Dear ImGui integration provides debugging and configuration interfaces. The codebase demonstrates careful separation of concerns, with distinct subsystems for memory management, CPU state, platform abstraction, and hardware emulation. Notable engineering practices include the clean interface boundary with the Ballistic recompiler, memory allocation abstraction via a host allocator interface, and platform detection utilities. While the project shows active development and solid engineering, it faces typical emulator challenges including platform-specific maintenance burdens and dependency on external shader translation tools.
