It's really coming along! It took Dolphin a few years to nail it but i'd imagine a near-perfectly emulated 4k switch in a couple years time.

Ryujinx isn't actually the only Switch emulator; between Ryujinx and Yuzu, you can emulate basically everything the Switch can do and play most of the games it can.

This emulator currently has the most complete guest audio renderer implementations, as they just finished a project of doing an in depth reversing of that portion of the firmware. [0]

Getting it to work with the host os(windows usually) can have minor issues with output in rare circumstances, or when a game is still not running the proper speed, but they've ironed out the major ones.

-----------------------

    This is my requiem, I present to you Amadeus, a complete reimplementation of the Audio Renderer!
    This reimplementation is based on my reversing of every version of the audio system module that I carried for the past 10 months.
    This supports every revision (at the time of writing REV1 to REV8 included) and all features proposed by the Audio Renderer on real hardware.

Are there any issues getting games off of the carts?

No, older hardware revisions of Switch have an unpatchable exploit that ensures games could be dumped using those no matter what Nintendo changes.

Impressive! Is this the first modern console emulator written in a GCed language, or even a language other than C++?

Nope, https://hackaday.com/2018/08/07/even-the-playstation-2-cant-...

That's Java running on a console, not Java emulating a console.
