Hokkaido

Hokkaido is a Nintendo Switch 2 emulator for Android that allows you to run releases from the next-generation hybrid console directly on the screen of your smartphone or tablet. A direct heir to the codebase of community projects such as Yuzu, Sudachi, and Eden, this tool focuses its optimization efforts on smartphone graphics architecture, with special attention to Exynos processors and their Samsung Xclipse GPUs based on AMD RDNA3 technology.

Hokkaido is the same as Lichii, so you won't lose your progress when updating the emulator

If you've been using the previous version of Hokkaido, when it was still known as Lichii, you will be able to update the app while keeping your saved games, settings, and game libraries intact. This will allow you to continue testing the potential of this emulator without losing all the hours you invested in your favorite titles.

Installing games on Hokkaido is easy

With a setup wizard, Hokkaido will guide you through loading the key files, such as keys and firmware, required to boot commercial software, as well as linking the game directory. In its preferences panel, you will find sections to install custom graphics drivers, such as Mesa RADV or Turnip builds, integrate frame generation libraries like Lossless Scaling, and calibrate technical rendering parameters. Similarly, this emulator allows you to map physical controllers for up to eight simultaneous players, manage user data, and apply post-processing effects using ReShade shaders.

What I liked most about Hokkaido and what could be improved

• What I liked the most: the smoothness of its setup wizard, the support for adding libraries such as Lossless.dll to interpolate frames, and the excellent RAM optimization that allows you to play demanding titles without sudden crashes on mid-range devices.

• What I would improve: the presence of recurring graphical bugs such as black backgrounds on certain textures, the lack of support for microphone audio input, and the possibility of the processor overheating during long sessions.
