Nintendo Switch made to run Halo via XQEMU emulator on Linux



Nintendo dislikes emulators. Except for the ones it uses and ships itself, that is. It also dislikes people hacking into its consoles to make them do things the gaming giant could have never imagined nor permitted. Those two don’ts, however, have collided on the Nintendo Switch, as hacker and modder Voxel9 demonstrated the handheld gaming console running an Xbox game played with a PlayStation controller via an emulator running on the Ubuntu Linux operating system. Let that sink in for a while.
The Nintendo Switch was almost one of the most difficult Nintendo hardware to break into. Thanks to an unpatchable hardware bug on the NVIDIA Tegra chip, however, the doors were cracked wide open, allowing even a full-blown Ubuntu Linux desktop on it. And when you can run Linux on something, it’s only a matter of time before you can run so many other things.
