[SOLVED] Theoretically, how good of a PC do you need to emulate Switch? (hexbear.net)

Let's say, hypothetically, that I wanted to play Sonic Superstars but I consider the price tag of 90 fucking Australian dollaridoos to be highway robbery.

How good is Switch emulation right now? Do I need a good PC or will my mid-range potato be good enough?

In this purely hypothetical situation, I don't want to mod my Switch because I can't be bothered with the hassle of worrying about updates or the internet bricking it.

P.S. Sega is such a shitty company (the higher-ups, not the based workers that unionized). They've been getting super greedy as shit the past few years with their pricing and day one DLC.

You should be able to run Yuzu fine unless your system is ancient.

Hypothetically, theoretically, in minecraft, what websites have Switch stuff and would a VPN be enough to stop Nintendo breaking my door down.

Marios gonna beat me up I'm scared.

You only need a VPN when you are torrenting. Direct downloads are much harder to track. Also fyi, cpu performance is by far more important than graphics performance for switch emulation. https://rentry.org/128bb
