## What it is
oboromi is a work-in-progress, proof-of-concept emulator for the Nintendo Switch 2 written in Rust. It currently emulates an 8-core ARMv8 CPU with 12GB shared memory and a stub NVIDIA Ampere (SM86) GPU, and cannot run commercial games or firmware yet.

## Use cases
- emulate nintendo switch 2 games on pc
- follow switch 2 emulator development
- experiment with ARMv8 CPU emulation in Rust
- study SASS to SPIR-V GPU recompilation
- contribute to an early-stage console emulator project

## When to choose
- you want to track or contribute to the earliest Switch 2 emulation efforts
- you're interested in low-level emulator internals like VFS, HLE firmware, and GPU instruction translation
- you want a Rust codebase for console emulation research

## When to avoid
- you want to actually play Switch 2 games today - it runs no commercial games or firmware
- you need a stable, mature emulator for daily use
- you expect GPU-accelerated gameplay - the GPU is only a stub

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: experimental
- function: simulation, graphics, gui
- domain: gaming-tools, simulation, hardware
- platform: cross-platform, rust
- tags: emulator, nintendo-switch-2, proof-of-concept, wip, armv8, gpu-emulation, hle
