Pound has no public release
If you searched for a Pound download, the honest landing is this sentence: there is nothing to download that runs a game.
Where the work went
The readme says development shifted fully to Ballistic, a new ARM recompiler. Linux and Windows are the named hosts, and only Clang is supported. Windows is described as behind Linux. I am not offering a historical binary, because I did not find a public release to begin with.
The repository's star count measures attention rather than a working build, so it is not a compatibility field. Pound's own README still lists SM86 to SPIR-V translation as unfinished; Ballistic's README separately lists unfinished recompiler goals. There is no ETA in either readme.
A download button here would be a lie. Use Eden-NX2, Eglantine, or Lichii if you want an archive that exists, and read their limits before you expect a finished game.

FAQ
Where do I download Pound?
You don't. The project has not published a release, and this site will not link a repack.
Is Ballistic the emulator?
Ballistic is the recompiler Pound's readme says the team moved to. It is not a finished Switch 2 emulator.
