So far we know the Switch 2 is directly based on Switch hardware and is even backwards compatible with the previous gen.
With the great patching of 2018, only way to mod a patched Switch, Lite and Oled is thru a modchip.
Of course, with new hardware comes new measures against modding. Would be funny if they unintentionally brought back the paperclip jig but of course it would never happen and + if it DID happen you can't just trigger it because the Ounce's joycons don't use sliding rails to connect, rather they seem to use extra plugs. (The future, wow!)
So far exploits are nothing since it just got announced. I'm betting on modchip.
But if it DID get hacked, then it would be Gamecube all over again, so i'd except some kind of Nintendon't-esque homebrew that runs Switch games... which would easily be redundant because of the capability to keep digital old switch games, so maybe we'd get an app to install Switch 1 NSPs
And we could probably develop something to run Switch 1 homebrew? Either natively or thru some kind of layer
Oh and emulation. Being based on the previous Switch, i was at first thinking you just edit Ryujinx source code and voila. But...
Much like the rest of the 9th gen i wouldn't except emulation just yet. I mean, our only known spec is that apparently our little Ounce has twelve gigs of dedotated wam, and most computers have like 16 gigs, with operating systems using up some of the ram. The Legion Go 2 will have a 32 gig option and is said to be really powerful with the Z2 Extreme CPU. So it would be at least plausible unlike PS5 or Xbox Series. (The xbox one isn't even modded yet! Whaddya except from Mr. Windows)
But with Big N attacking everybody i'd safely recommend keeping it private for now
Since this is a thread about purely speculation, i'd decide this would be the go-to thread for Switch 2 modding guesses
