The entire Switch 1 game library is free to play on emulators. They probably put a custom accelerator to prevent reverse engineering. A consequence of using weaker spec parts than their competitors.

The Switch 1 also had CUDA cores and other basic hardware accelerators. To my knowledge (and I could be wrong), none of the APIs that Nintendo exposed even gave access to those fancy features. It should just be calls to NVN, which can be compiled into Vulkan the same way DXVK translates DirectX calls.
