Unfortunately, it is closed now due to our lack of belief in its success. Sometimes I wish the old days would come back.

[scrooge @ovvvsky]

Maybe now there won’t be any accusations that I stole the UI from Pound (on which my project is officially based - a fact I openly acknowledge). :D

[scrooge @ovvvsky]

New UI interface for the Compound Switch 2 emulator is on the way! The release is closer than you think!

[scrooge @ovvvsky]

Now, there is easy way to manage and observe the memory during emulation and many more features!

Hello
I’ve built probably the first working Nintendo Switch 2 emulator in the world.

There are many WIP and highly experimental things, but... it is finally working!

@nyanishly @ThePhawx @theetaprime @OrdinaryGamers @digitalfoundry @nintendolife Thanks for warm words, . The amount of hate and fake accusations is enormous - like always when we share some new project. The "malware", "AI generated", "fake screenshot", etc. The same situation as when Eden was in early state, but now... everyone uses it. It’s funny to me.

[scrooge @ovvvsky]

@wedegooglenow @ThePhawx @theetaprime @OrdinaryGamers @digitalfoundry @nintendolife But for people is easier to say that it is malware or vibe coded, than just take a look on repo or code.

I don't know which one is malware now Pound or Compound - and what may be the reason, to make the emulator, thousands lines of open source-code, and also... malware. :D

[scrooge @ovvvsky]

@wedegooglenow @ThePhawx @theetaprime @OrdinaryGamers @digitalfoundry @nintendolife I'm really thankful to Pound developer, and I'm not hiding that fact.

But there were a lot, really a lot of work, that was made on Pound base.

I've even left information that the project is Pound fork, for people to know.

[scrooge @ovvvsky]

@ViviJFraM The GUI was made by the Pound developer, I'm just using it - I'm really sure that it is not vibe coded.

[scrooge @ovvvsky]

@AcePengu1n55 @ThePhawx @theetaprime @OrdinaryGamers @digitalfoundry @nintendolife @NintendoAmerica @NintendoEurope @Nintendo That’s very unkind. We don’t do that here!

[scrooge @ovvvsky]

There are many supportive comments, but also quite a few negative ones - even though the repository is open to everyone, and everyone can check the project.

Friends and my team tell me, "There's no point in you arguing with bots," and perhaps they’re right. Wishing everyone a great day.

Stay tuned for further Compound updates (or me found by a hitman hired by Nintendo)! :)

[scrooge @ovvvsky]

Nintendo taken down my previous Switch 1 emulator Eden/Sumi (about which people on Reddit also told, that it is impossible to emulate Switch, and banned me) - but someone wisher than me created backup, and the Eden has really amazing team, doing amazing work.

@ArazonaRedgrave @KalayaanInt @ThePhawx @theetaprime @OrdinaryGamers @digitalfoundry @nintendolife Anyway, obviously, I will post some videos and screenshots from our work again in future.

[scrooge @ovvvsky]

@ArazonaRedgrave @KalayaanInt @ThePhawx @theetaprime @OrdinaryGamers @digitalfoundry @nintendolife It is not so easy, when launching a single game is still like climbing Ama Dablam. If he have seen my materials from 2 weeks ago, he have seen more screenshot - so, I do not need to prove anyone anything.

[scrooge @ovvvsky]

@CABOOSE27xx Sorry, but it is not released yet... it is still very experimental, highly work in progress repo.
Maybe someday :)

[scrooge @ovvvsky]

@tetsuo_88 @ThePhawx @theetaprime @OrdinaryGamers @digitalfoundry @nintendolife AI-written emulation (especially SM86 → SPIR-V → Vulkan adaptation) inspired by "pound" codebase, with a well-organized, preserved codebase and architecture? Yeah... maybe it is vibecoded, Claude or Chat GPT probably seen many times work like this. :)
