Alright, let’s dive into this wild ride of tech wizardry — or maybe misadventure? So, this tech guy named PatRyk (I can almost hear the groans from his parents when he told them about this) managed to pull off a crazy stunt. He got Apple’s iOS running on a Nintendo Switch. Yeah, you read that right. Doesn’t sound practical? Well, it isn’t. Yet.
Okay, here’s the kicker — takes 20 minutes just to boot up. Tim Cook would probably cough up his latte hearing that. And then once it’s booted? Every second thing crashes. Apps just give up and crash, like they’re protesting this weird life choice. But, hey, credit where it’s due — it’s a start!
Now, while the whole gaming world is buzzing over the new Switch 2 (yawn, wake me up when it’s VR), our buddy PatRyk is spending days — literal days — wedging Apple’s OS onto this hybrid gaming console. Patience level: Jedi. Imagine how many hours wasted staring at a screen waiting for the darn thing to boot, only to have it crash. Gotta have hope though, right?
Apparently, there’s this fancy tech behind it called QEMU (which sounds like a sneeze, no offense to the creators). It’s a machine emulator that ChefKissInc (great name, by the way, no sarcasm) adapted for Apple iPhone 11. With this, PatRyk fiddled around with some code from GitHub (the magic land of coders) and managed to get iOS sort of working on a system so different it’s like teaching a fish to fly. Kudos for determination!
So, should you chuck your iPhone and go all Switch now? Nope. Not unless you fancy testing your patience or have a thing for the absurd. But it shows it’s possible, with some major tweaking.
PatRyk hasn’t said if more sleepless nights are ahead on this project. Maybe he’s catching up on life or figuring out his next code adventure. Who even knows? Anyway, sounds like there’s more to come. Stay tuned or don’t, I won’t judge. What a world.
