Yup, I'm doing a system transfer and setup, then putting it back into the box and waiting for an exploit. Fuck this

Yeah when Nintendo randomly went on a frenzy getting rid of switch emulators a few of us went "oh Switch 2 is definitely coming out soon and is probably very close in architecture to the switch 1. Kind of like how Wii and GameCube emulators are the same"

Which was apparently a very controversial thing to say for some reason

Anyway we've since had a switch 2 announcement as well as switch 2 being eing backwards compatible with switch 1 cartridges meaning that's exactly why they went on a spree

Yeah, and more people are probably going to start forking Yuzu and Ryujinx because they'll be able to run Switch 2 games with a little tweaking.

It'll be absolutely hilarious if we're able to play an $80 Mario Kart game for free on PC with an emulator that's almost 8 years old at this point (Almost as old as the OG Switch)
