ravensclawx shows a Super Mario 64 port running on Switch 2, as a proof of concept

On Oct 28, 2026, developer ravensclawx, author of HBLauncher, posted on X a 19-second video of a Super Mario 64 port running "natively" on the Switch 2, with the CPU and GPU working together. The author himself says it is real, but "rough".

Context

It is only a demonstration: there is no release or public code to test. Like ravensclawx's other projects, it depends on ns2jb (firmware 23.0.1, tethered, no kernel and no CFW). See his earlier demo, with CPU and GPU and a NES emulator. Research and proof of concept, with a risk of brick and ban. This site does not publish step-by-step guides or download links.
