Switch Homebrew Now Runs Android Thanks to Switchroot LineageOS ROM; NVIDIA GameStream Available

The switchroot team publicly released their first Android ROM for the Nintendo Switch, based on LineageOS and NVIDIA Shield TV. Not only you can now use Netflix on the Switch, you can also play Android games natively and PC games via streaming (NVIDIA GameStream, GeForce NOW).

Awesome!

Makes you wonder why Nintendo insists on keeping their software and hardware capabilities mediocre at best.

[Alexious]

Agreed!

A $300 console in 2019 should come with all the standard media apps on launch. Even crappy Toshiba tablets come with Netflix. All the fanboys have the same excuse "the switch is focused on gaming" which is a dumbass argument because even in their online service, Nintendo is a decade behind Microsoft and Sony.

Two decades

Even worse, two decades ago, no body was bragging that his new console can run NES games. But typical Nintendo, typical Nintendo fanboys.

They’re still better than Sony fanboys.

Who's to say it isn't Netflixs decision to not put it on the system? Theres already Hulu and Youtube, I don't think Nintendo would object to adding Netfix to their system.

[Kabaneri]

Netflix was already on the Wii...... And Netflix themselves have publicly stated that they would love to bring it to Switch but "thats all up to Nintendo".

best news ever for users of Homebrew.

Only downside is that the moment, it requires a whole separate SD card, no running this off any partition, and it's a little buggy. Other than that, it's awesome.
