Nintendo's upcoming Switch 2 console doesn't actually run the original Switch's games natively, as the two hardwares are incompatible.

So is this the same thing as the PS3 and PS4?
Was that emulator ever jailbroken to run other games? I thought it used some bespoke per-game config so it’s not as general as the Switch one appears to be. Nintendo compatibility list shows a very good coverage too.
I’m not sure all ik is you can’t download ps3 games only stream them on ps4 due to different hardware
Ah, and I was thinking of PS2 emulator they use for classics in PS+ :D
Switch 2 backwards compatibility won’t be streaming-based, it runs locally.
I misunderstood then…really hated how Sony did things where the PS3 really had no backwards compatibiliy with PS2 and PS4 couldn’t play Ps3 games.
