New Tool Brings 12 Switch Games to Android Without Emulation

Peanuts Native has been launched as an open-source fork of BananaNative, enabling users to turn legally dumped Nintendo Switch game files into standalone Android apps. Rather than using an emulator layer, the tool rewrites the game's ARM64 code to execute directly on a mobile device's CPU, taking between five and 40 minutes to complete the on-device process. Created by the developer of Eden Duo, the project also adds support for dual-screen Android handhelds like the AYN Thor. While the main game runs on the upper display, the bottom screen can render touch-enabled companion overlays with haptic feedback. To run the software, devices require Android 13 or later, at least 12GB of RAM, and a Snapdragon GPU supporting Vulkan 1.3.
