    You could buy a used Switch and install a modchip to play pirated games.

    But yeah, not really worth it if you only want to play 1 specific game and already have a pc powerful enough for emulating it

      You can also buy one of the older switch consoles from 2018 which are not patched and you can inject a payload via rcm mode.

        Yeah, but that’s a horrible idea in today’s world. You’ll pay a bigger price premium for an old rcm exploitable switch, than you will pay for just installing a modchip in a patched switch. Not to mention the significantly worse overclocking potential and battery life of the 2018 switch compared to the newer Mariko and OLED models

          Yea I guess you have a point about the battery life and the overclocking potential, but the price depends on who you buy it from. I bought mine at a good price.
