reddit has been pretty much the only reliable option that isn’t stackoverflow, in my experience

I’m pretty sure the only difference would be that people with a jailbroken switch can extract prod.keys from it. But afaik most of the tools people made to assist with that got obliterated so I don’t think it’s worth doing for most people.

depending on the implementation this may be optional or not allowed though

download Ryujinx, get keys by downloading them from a site (like from prodkeys.net) and you should get files “prod.keys” and “title.keys”, place them in “./Ryujinx/system/”. then you can go on a site like www.nxbrew.com, download nsp or xci files of the game (and a potential updates and whatever dlc), and throw them in folders of your choice (i personally have a “roms” folder with all my game files for different consoles, including a “switch” folder, with folders called “games” and subfolders “updates”, “dlc”, “mods”, “cheats”).

then, get on ryujinx, select the folder with your games as your game directory, and your games should be visible. you can right click on the game on the list and add updates or dlc, you can go to the mod directory ryujinx made for the game and add a bunch of folders with the mod data inside of it (for example, for ACNH i might have a folder called “360_camera” and inside of it will be a folder called “romfs”/“romFs” which will have a bunch of files/folders for the mod in it) and then select the mods to enable. for cheats you just need a folder named “cheats” in the mod directory and then you can put cheats for the game in plain text in the folder.

you can also mess with the graphics settings, use an input device (probably an xbox/playstation/switch controller), change datetime (although i find it doesn’t allow you to make the date out of sync with your device’s date, so you may want to go to your computer settings and manually change it if you want to do that), etc.

redditors even on piracy subs treat actually pirating things like it’s voldemort, so when i wanted to emulate switch games it was a pain in the ass for me to find out what i needed to do, i hope this helps you not run into those issues lol.

It genuinely surprises me the amount of diehard nintendo fans who will defend the corporation’s heinous acts tooth and nail that there are. They make good games, and they were my childhood, therefore their wrongs are excusable (or not wrongs at all)!

i’d play totk on grapefruit, or kiyomi, or tangor, or even rangpur. perhaps kampei, or jabara, or iyokan. maybe lumia or pompia, or daidai, or chinotto, or calamansi. koji and reikou work too. suenkat/sunki, sudachi, kabosu, oroblanco, dangyuja, amanatsu… the possibilities are endless!

but maybe citri are too obvious, maybe we should think out of the box… like melons! honeydew sounds like a good emulator name (maybe a bit overused though), and so does argos, gaya or hami too! kajari, mirza, and dosakai as well…

i mean you’re expected to know the basic functioning of the compiler when you use it
