How to Play Nintendo Switch Games on Android with Skyline

Launched in March 2017 with the proposal of being a hybrid console, the Nintendo Switch it is a device that is at least in the middle of its life cycle and, without a doubt, it is the dream of many people. But if you can't make the purchase right now or invest in exclusive titles, the app skyline allows you to play some Nintendo Switch games on the Android.

Still in its first phase of development, the app is far from perfect, but many games can be easily played on a smartphone with good settings. Check out the step by step on how to have fun right now.

Installing Skyline on your smartphone

As it is an independent project, the developers of skyline chose to carry out the launch only in the Android🇧🇷 The idea uses elements of Ryujinx and Yuzu – both also emulation projects Nintendo Switch🇧🇷 The app can be downloaded for free and the installation is very easy.

Step 1: to be able to run games from Nintendo Switch No. Android, you need to download the APK file of skyline on your smartphone or tablet. Just access the official website and click em Download.

You will be redirected to a page with all available versions. We recommend that you always download the latest version to avoid problems on your smartphone.

Step 2: when the download has started, then it's time to do the installation. If you have never installed an application outside of Google Play Store on your cell phone, you may need to give permission for installation from unknown sources. Just give this access and wait for everything to be finalized.

All you need to do here is click on the file in the Downloads and then click on Install🇧🇷 With that done, open the app to check that everything is working normally.

And now, it's time for you to search for the game files on the internet to run the games of Nintendo Switch No. Android.

Downloading ROMs for your emulator

Here, it is important to be very careful, as you will need to download the game files for the skyline work as a reader.

There are many fan-controlled sites that make game files available so that emulators for PCs and smartphones can deliver the fun for those who don't have the hybrid console of the company. Nintendo. In case of Switch, one of the most interesting sites is the NSW2U🇧🇷 Another option is the Yuzu roms, completely in Portuguese and that can have a good navigation for the layman.

To perform the test, we used the NSW2U to download the file Super Mario Odyssey🇧🇷 It is important to be patient as there are many sponsored links until you get the link to the torrent file of the game. After about 10 minutes, it was enough for us to paste the link in the μTorrent and wait for the file to download.

There are two options: either you can download the ROMs on your computer and then send everything to your cell phone, or you can do the whole procedure directly from your smartphone that already has the skyline installed. Both work, but here, we chose to download via PC and then move that to the mobile.

An important step: once the skyline is installed on mobile Android, you will need to create a “base folder” read by the application. This is where the ROMs must be saved for the emulator to work normally. We recommend that you name the folder after skyline for easy navigation.

If you try to run the game with just the installation file, you'll notice that it has no “cover” and, in fact, it won't even play. This happens because the files are missing activation keys. This file can be downloaded from the internet and we were able to download it from the website UP4EVER.

After going through the ads and managing to download the activation keys, just save the file with the extension .keys on the internal storage of the smartphone with the Nintendo Switch emulator installed.

Not now skyline, access the Settings and scroll down to Production Keys, click this option and select the correct file. So, just select the game and enjoy it in a similar way to what you would in a Nintendo Switch.
