Just found out the Switch I got a while back is a V1 model, meaning that it’s one of the Switches that’s able to be modified. I’m thinking of modifying it, but I’d like to know the upsides and issues first.

    One of the downsides is that you’ll be playing the Nintendo Switch.

    Switch emulators are so good by now, the experience is nearly always better on PC. My Switch is one of the first models too but now that I don’t play online Smash anymore, I really don’t see what use I could have of a homebrewed console.

      I’m pretty tempted to just buy a steam deck and run yuzu to play my switch games. Between vita3k, yuzu and whatever emulates a 3ds I’m thinking I could consolidate all of my handhelds pretty effectively at this point.

      Yep, I modded my switch, dumped the keys and my games and went “Now what?” and after playing via Yuzu on my PC I realized this was the only way I really wanted to play the few Switch games I enjoy.

      Every now and then I’ll boot into the stock firmware to play Mario Kart with some friends when they want to play, and that’s it.
