I crack up at all the people on Lemmy insisting that this isn't pirating or about pirating. Yes it is. I pirate too, don't bullshit me guys. This isn't about Nintendo being an evil company, cause they keep their games exclusive, just like Microsoft does with PC games and nobody bitches. This isn't about Nintendo being selfish, it's about people who want to copy switch games, mod them, share them, and act as if it's a thing the copyright holder should be happy about lol
Again I pirate, so let's be honest, this whole thing is about ways to easily pirate and backup switch games, not the integrity of gaming.
It’s also about how apparently games run better from a rom using an emulator on a switch rather than through the native software of the switch itself. It’s crazy.
That's likely due to the Switch throttling itself a fair bit in handheld mode, to avoid overheating and spending too much battery power.
Running an emulator on Linux likely uncaps the performance.
