    What exactly do the Switch modchips do?

    To my understanding they inject some sort of electrical signal with nanosecond precise timing which somehow allows unsigned code to be run at a trustzone level. There has to be a more detailed explanation than this. The bootrom bug on Erista Switches had a very detailed technical document...

    What does it take to become a game reviewer?

    One idea I have but will probably never get around to trying is to start my own YouTube channel as an independent game reviewer. It makes me wonder how to provide an informed review of games across different genres and series. How does someone who does not play FPS games review an FPS game? I...

    What's the best Switch style gaming handheld?

    The Steam Deck is the most widely mentioned by far but others like the Lenovo Go exist. Are Linux or Windows based handhelds better overall?

    What systems do you prefer playing on actual hardware?

    Normally I use emulators because they're more convenient but still play most DS and 3DS games on a real DSi and New 3DS. Pixel perfect games like the DS Castlevania trilogy look incredible on the DSi. Games which utilise the second screen effectively such as Fire Emblem play better on actual...

Are there any realistic options...

    Another Crab's Treasure 60fps patch?

    It looks like an interesting game worth playing but the Switch version is locked to 30fps due to hardware limitations. Given that it runs at higher framerates on other platforms, it shouldn't have any physics tied to framerate. Played with handheld flags enabled and overclocking, it can probably...

    Retroarch or standalone emulators?

    I use Retroarch on the Switch because a standalone GBA emulator I tried a few years ago had audio glitches but Retroarch hasn't given me any problems. On the PC I use standalone emulators just out of habit.

    What is the best Citra fork right now?

    It looked like it was Lemonade but that died as fast as fucking Spirit Tracks Zelda.

    What's the best controller for the Switch in docked mode?

    When you're playing games which don't use the D-pad much the Switch Pro Controller is the clear winner. When playing games on Retroarch I use a Pokken controller. This leaves me not knowing what to do about games like Celeste and Hollow Knight, which I assume, don't work with a Pokken...
