Download Eden: Nintendo Switch Emulator for Android

Eden is an open-source Nintendo Switch emulator for Android, derived from Yuzu and maintained by the community. You need the prod.keys file and the firmware from a Nintendo Switch, plus the game files.

Note: as a community project, features and menus change between versions; always check the version this page offers.

• Enough free storage for games and cache.
• prod.keys and firmware files from your console.
• Games in NSP or XCI format.
