Less than a week after the Switch 2's first jailbreak, developer Will Faust posted footage of Mario Kart World running on an iPhone 18 Pro via a private fork of nxnative. The iPhone build uses just under 6.5 GB of physical memory with a file-backed setup. Faust notes Switch 2 support required extra work on the NVN2 graphics API and has said he will not release the code.
On PC, developer Sheepish got Splatoon Raiders booting in a private Eden emulator build, reaching character select but lagging and lacking VSync. Sheepish credited AI-assisted development and hinted at a public release later this week. Centro LEAKS also posted an image of DK Bananza running on PC, though the creator is unclear.
These are early demos with no public verification of broad Switch 2 compatibility. The jailbreak remains tethered, with no kernel exploit or custom firmware yet. Given Nintendo's history of legal action against Switch emulation — including a $4.5 million court order over Yuzu piracy — a response seems likely.
