About this project
This loader adapts Android APIs and uses Dynarmic to run the game’s 32-bit ARM code in 64-bit Switch homebrew. It is a compatibility adaptation with dynamic CPU recompilation, not the Xbox 360 static recompilation of Most Wanted 2005.

Version 0.3.0 documents controller menus, saves and resolution switching on docking/undocking. The author still describes the port as experimental and invites testing of newer gyro and clock options.

Known limitations
Online services, Autolog, accounts and the store are unavailable by design. Busy races can fall below the 30 FPS target. The README notes a freeze in the earliest test build and limited hardware coverage for newer features.

Getting started
Extract the official release’s switch folder to the SD root, then copy your APK and OBB unchanged into /switch/NFSMostWanted2012/game/. A matching XAPK is an alternative input.
