You just got sued
I declare…BANKRUPTCY!!!
Check if your switch is a V1 model or a V2. If it is a switch V2, Lite, or Oled, you need a modchip. If it is a V1, you only need an RCM jig for like $3-7 (or some tin foil if you're risky, extremely not recommended, do you prefer to save $3-7 but chance frying your $300+ switch) and a usb cable.
If your Switch model number starts with XAW, you have a switch V1, in which case just follow this guide https://rentry.co/SwitchHackingIsEasy
If you have a V2, you need to get ahold of a PicoFly modchip, which is a Rasperry Pi Pico RP2040 flashed with https://github.com/Ansem-SoD/Picofly which you can DIY (or there are other ones, but they're expensive or hard to find) and solder it into the motherboard, and then follow the guide.
I counter this, I have a V1 and have only used the foil DYI method and it works flawlessly every time I needed to do it again.
I guess that's fair, still worth the warning though
True, it is not worth the risk. But if this person is not in a country where you can easily get a jig legally then they can at least try the foil method.
No jig? Use a paperclip
If you want to have a really great emulation experience, get a Steam Deck.
Nintendo has official emulators through switch online. They have a limited selection of NES, GBA, GBC, and SNES games available through the standard subscription, and N64 for the more expensive one.
It is technically possible to download ROMs of any game from any consle, and play in superior quality on a PC using an emulator. But my lawyer informs me that some part of that is a violation of copyright laws so you SHOULD NOT do that, despite the ease of obtaining and emulating ROMs of old games.
I also really love that the NSO emulators allow for easy, seamless online play for any of the games that have multiplayer, that's really been the new lease on life for some of these games that just emulating and playing them normally isn't anymore.
I am not a Nintendo techie, nor do I own a Switch. I only know how to use search engines, but that led me to this guide which has step-by-step instructions, including how to check if your Switch is compatible with the necessary exploit. It seems to be a decently involved process.
If you sucessfully homebrew your Switch, here's a list of emulators.
Can you rephrase that question?
Removed by mod
whatever you do, do not install .nsps of any kind onto your modded switch. I backed up a ton of my games, and made the mistake of connecting to the internet without a dns blocker. sucks, 'cause I can’t play online anymore and have to use another switch for updates.
