Switch is budget mobile hardware with a scheme to make you waste 60 dollar per game and a premium subscription. It will be cheaper at the beginning but much more expensive on the longterm and nowhere near as valuable as other options. The point is not graphics, is more about processing power and resolution. Games need severe optimisation work to get good framerates and smooth gameplay in switch. Thats why you get the choppy 30 fps experiences of Pokemon games that are developed in a rush, when compared to Breath of the Wild games that take years, because they need to be optimised a lot in order to run properly in the hardware. Nintendo has great franchises and good marketing. it just baffles people they use such a crap hardware to achieve it. Its great from business perspective, and they generate social acceptance around its products. most people dont care/know anything about hardware.
Yeah it sucks but you can just buy a USB C wireless transmitter. That's what I did. But I do notice a slight audio lag with my AirPods but still playable. My Bose QC35 audio lag is unplayable.

@@MikesLifee If its a toy, then why are you here watching a video on it? Hyane-Artikel made good points on both sides of the issue and it really is a toss-up between modding and piracy. Seriously, though, there is no need to attack someone like that.
Android on a Switch is a thing that only Google could prevent, since you dont do anything illegal to the Nintendo software, you only use your hardware in a different way than intended. And even that....
I remember "hacking" my Steam Link. That device literally is asking to be "hacked". You literally only need a single file in a specific folder on a USB drive, the login infos you can easily find online, and you get access to the Steam Link's entire drive + its console via SSH. To compare, most Android devices require you to use a computer and to erase all data to be rooted, the 3DS (also another device that is easy to hack, and extremely easy to manage the hack) requires on the latest version for you to either flash a flashcard (ntrboot) or to exploit the dsi firmware, and the PS Vita needs to be kept at a certain firmware. Compare anything else to simply putting an empty file on a USB. Good job, Steam. Too bad the Steam Link is a *streaming device* so there isn't really much point in all that. Oh and also, RetroArch supports it for some reason. Not that I'm complaining.

So the video pretty much shows why the Steam Deck is awesome. You get all of those options much smoother out of the box without weird workarounds required. On top of that you also get much more performance.
But u can’t dock it and share controllers easily, also Nintendo exclusives+ whatever emulation makes this a very cheap emulator handheld/console. Though steamdeck and something like gpd win 4 are impressive handhelds
@@TobascoCatMC Well, you can dock a Steam Deck. I mean, you can connect it to any display via USB-C and you can also use the Deck as input/controller for an external system or connect other controllers/gamepads via Bluetooth or USB. Then you can also emulate on the Deck. The biggest advantage of an old Switch might be the price. But it's way more difficult to get such a hackable device and getting a used one might require swapping the battery if its capacity decreased too much.
@Melvin Frazier Had pretty much the opposite effect on me. I hadn't touched my Switch for months. But when I did I noticed the size difference heavily. Every button and joystick was at the wrong position for my hands. The deck just fits me though. I would like to see it having less weight though in future iterations or a removable battery would be good.

How when the android thing literally beats the purpose of a Nintendo switch… pretty sure you have a phone so why do you need it on the switch? Plus doing this will get you ip banned by Nintendo so buying a switch anyway would be a waste of money
This is a great example of why the Sega Dreamcast will always be my favorite console. CDR's with bootable emulators of all retro consoles with every game included, a VCD player boot disc when DVD was an expensive and not widespread alternative yet, and burnable dreamcast games with no boot disc required. Ran an IRC channel with some friends that provided so many options that I may not even know of to this day, but it was definitely the reason I got into rooting every device I possibly could (for test purposes only of course).
Dreamcast is such a great system. Plus they’re still affordable and available. Shit like the Jaguar is getting so expensive it’s ridiculous. A lot of the blame goes to the millions of vintage game collecting channels. Everyone and their dog started buying up everything cheap gaming even if they’re not into it, thinking it’s worth a small fortune. A lot of vintage game prices are even worse. Then devs price gouge and limit the library of their often shitty official emulation platform and proceed to wonder why we emulate and pirate.. 🤷♂️
4:30 if you don't power off your switch and keep it in sleep mode then it should still stay on the payload for anyone in the comments wondering. So as long as you don't run out of battery or need to remove the sd card you only have to do this once (unless you wanna go back to normal switch mode). Btw you can also flash from your phone. So you'd get a usb c to usb c for example and there is an app that lets you inject a payload into your switch from your android phone. I'm assuming ios might also have one but I'm not sure.
To be honest, im just here for the intro. :) Edit: when i see linus' videos that he just yolo's without a script is so funny because they just laugh and joke around the whole time!
the fact that they are freely emulating roms and promoting hacking the switch they are fucked anyway 😂 I've seen other channels do this and they got a strike/C&D...
I love videos with Riley. He's one of the least tech-y LTT writers (don't get me wrong, he's waaaaaaay more tech-y than most people, and can clearly run circles around some of the other folks at LMG) but makes up for not bringing the most ultra-powered, uber-geeky, niche stuff to the table by just being so gosh-darned enthusiastic about whatever goofy nonsense he's found. I'm 100% on Riley's level of enthusiasm about this sort of thing. How great is it that you can play Windwaker, a game that was playable on the last Nintendo console, on the very next Nintendo Console that, for some reason, doesn't have it available? I'll tell you how great it is! It's REALLY great! Riley, we need a million of you right now.

Switch's 4GB of RAM: " _Chuckles_ I'm in danger!"
I was thinking on that.. 😅 but to be fair 4GB is plenty not great! But OK..
For android it's enough for sure
Geo Gmz Mmmmm 4GB is less than ok
Android's pretty lightweight, 4GB should be fine for at least another couple of years. Phone manufacturers just wants you to think otherwise so you can buy the latest phones.

Maybe, juust maybe we can get a “Sh*t manufacturers say” about those Ridge RFID blocking plates on those wallets with some tests? Would be interesting to see imo
lol they would lose a sponsor
"ridge wallets" is a very successful fake brand
Their products are not actually their's
They get all their products from Ali Express and ask the Chinese manufacturers to add their fake brand logo
Ali Express wallet : $1
Ridge wallet: $30
they work but you can get the same product directly from china for less than 5 bucks shipped
also theyre not really necessary, contactless payment has quite a few security measures including a very low transaction limit without pin
They probably work just fine at blocking RFID, but then so does a single sheet of aluminium foil. That kind of signal is REALLY easy to block.

If I own a piece of hardware, I'll modify the damn thing any way I see fit. I reserve the right to repair and the manufacturer can kiss my Toretto torque wrench
Thats all fine and cool but with buying the device you accept their Terms of Service for as it is now. And if you install hacked games you never owned that’s a problem...same with hacking their software probably clashing with their intellectual property. But I agree right to repair and modding should be allowed and possible, with the cost of losing warranty...piracy tho goes hand in hand with modding tho so I have no clue how to solve that
@@romdex I'm one of those guys that likes to have a hard-copy of everything that I (listen to, play, use, etc.) If I find and download a game and hate it, oh well. But if I like it, I'll find a retail version of it - either second hand or new. With retro gaming, I download ROMs to games I have because I don't have know-how on getting the data off a cartridge. Here's the kicker, I'm an end-user and not doing this and selling anything.
@@MikesLifee If its a toy, then why are you here watching a video on it? Hyane-Artikel made good points on both sides of the issue and it really is a toss-up between modding and piracy. Seriously, though, there is no need to attack someone like that.
Android on a Switch is a thing that only Google could prevent, since you dont do anything illegal to the Nintendo software, you only use your hardware in a different way than intended. And even that....
I remember "hacking" my Steam Link.
That device literally is asking to be "hacked".
You literally only need a single file in a specific folder on a USB drive, the login infos you can easily find online, and you get access to the Steam Link's entire drive + its console via SSH.
To compare, most Android devices require you to use a computer and to erase all data to be rooted, the 3DS (also another device that is easy to hack, and extremely easy to manage the hack) requires on the latest version for you to either flash a flashcard (ntrboot) or to exploit the dsi firmware, and the PS Vita needs to be kept at a certain firmware.
Compare anything else to simply putting an empty file on a USB.
Good job, Steam. Too bad the Steam Link is a *streaming device* so there isn't really much point in all that.
Oh and also, RetroArch supports it for some reason. Not that I'm complaining.

So the video pretty much shows why the Steam Deck is awesome. You get all of those options much smoother out of the box without weird workarounds required. On top of that you also get much more performance.
Steam devs just watched this vid and were like oh people want this? Well let's do it
But u can’t dock it and share controllers easily, also Nintendo exclusives+ whatever emulation makes this a very cheap emulator handheld/console. Though steamdeck and something like gpd win 4 are impressive handhelds
@@TobascoCatMC Well, you can dock a Steam Deck. I mean, you can connect it to any display via USB-C and you can also use the Deck as input/controller for an external system or connect other controllers/gamepads via Bluetooth or USB. Then you can also emulate on the Deck.
The biggest advantage of an old Switch might be the price. But it's way more difficult to get such a hackable device and getting a used one might require swapping the battery if its capacity decreased too much.
@Melvin Frazier Had pretty much the opposite effect on me. I hadn't touched my Switch for months. But when I did I noticed the size difference heavily.
Every button and joystick was at the wrong position for my hands. The deck just fits me though.
I would like to see it having less weight though in future iterations or a removable battery would be good.

This is a great example of why the Sega Dreamcast will always be my favorite console. CDR's with bootable emulators of all retro consoles with every game included, a VCD player boot disc when DVD was an expensive and not widespread alternative yet, and burnable dreamcast games with no boot disc required. Ran an IRC channel with some friends that provided so many options that I may not even know of to this day, but it was definitely the reason I got into rooting every device I possibly could (for test purposes only of course).
Dreamcast is such a great system. Plus they’re still affordable and available. Shit like the Jaguar is getting so expensive it’s ridiculous. A lot of the blame goes to the millions of vintage game collecting channels. Everyone and their dog started buying up everything cheap gaming even if they’re not into it, thinking it’s worth a small fortune. A lot of vintage game prices are even worse. Then devs price gouge and limit the library of their often shitty official emulation platform and proceed to wonder why we emulate and pirate.. 🤷♂️

4:30 if you don't power off your switch and keep it in sleep mode then it should still stay on the payload for anyone in the comments wondering. So as long as you don't run out of battery or need to remove the sd card you only have to do this once (unless you wanna go back to normal switch mode). Btw you can also flash from your phone. So you'd get a usb c to usb c for example and there is an app that lets you inject a payload into your switch from your android phone. I'm assuming ios might also have one but I'm not sure.
