However, with the exorbitant markups of these modded devices, those interested in buying a hacked Switch could instead purchase a Steam Deck for a similar price. Some online storefronts sell pre-modded Switch consoles, eliminating the complexity of modding and the risk of the device being bricked in the process. It would not be at all surprising if Nintendo extended its policies beyond banning specific hardware from online services to targeting accounts, or the modders themselves. Last year Nintendo ordered a ROM site to destroy game files following a lawsuit, and the company’s litigious aggression is infamous in the industry, as Nintendo also targets non-profit fan games and similar projects. Modding A Switch Is Complex & Risky, Alternative Hardware Is Made For Emulation Those who enter the murkier waters of emulating current-gen consoles, like the Switch, can get surprising mileage from the Steam Deck, and won't-break-the-bank alternatives may provide similar functionality. The Ayn Odin can comfortably emulate consoles up to the PlayStation 2 without voiding its warranty. For legacy consoles, dedicated portable emulation consoles from manufacturers like Anbernic, Ayn, and Retroid offer easier access to emulation on the go, no modding required.
A portable console that can be docked to a TV or monitor, with access to whatever Switch files or legacy console games the owner can download, may sound tempting, but in the end, even the most emulation-savvy gaming fans will likely conclude they can find a better device.
Even for those who are wholly comfortable with emulation, modding a Switch offers surprisingly little, when there are better alternatives that provide the same result.
