      Well, I do own an older Switch that’d be vulnerable to the easy exploits but I gave up when I was supposed to get some joycon-ish device to hack my switch… so “just works” is far from the truth unless I’ve overlooked something.

        You don’t need a switch (hacked or otherwise) to use yuzu. The “dump the keys from your own console” stuff is cover-your-ass doctrine, the keys are easily available online

        Hacking a console often involves a bit of work and in some cases that can include physically altering the console. With older Switches you need a PC or Android phone, a USB cable and a little thingy to jump two pins the right Joy-Con rail. There’s a bit of a process to it, but it really isn’t too bad.

        Yuzu is an emulator. You don’t need a physical console to use it, unless you insist on dumping your own firmware/roms/keys.

        Modding actual switch hardware is certainly more involved. Those rcm jigs are annoying, and later revisions require a modchip which is not an easy install.

    Yeah but… isn’t that a hollow victory? I mean… every PC that can run RDR on Yuzu can… you know… run RDR natively, right?
