The people at XDA have finally managed to port LineageOS (a custom android rom) to the switch, now the consoles library of games has tripled, with access to countless new features, and the ability to run a large number of your games from previous gens etc.

Great day to be switch owner i guess :D

This is illegal and wrong, but it will annoy Nintendo so it's funny.

You may want to delete this thread, discussing this stuff is against Gamespot's ToU and is a moddable offense.

@uninspiredcup: @MirkoS77:

I won't remove it, homebrew software is completely legal and the source code related to my post is available online for anyone to see, they didn't infringe on any copyrights, there's a good reason why the code can stay up on sites that don't allow illegal copyright infringing code.

Doubt anyone here give a shit, really.

It's more an obligation because someone wrote it down years back.

While legal if Nintendo finds out a system running android they'll probably ban it.

@Gamerno6666: They could well do... I feel it's that articles go through more scrutiny, but not touching the subject would definitely be better.

Switch still has no games worth playing and this doesn’t help.
