Buy a steam deck at this point.
For a lot of people, tweaking hardware and screwing with software is as much or more of a hobby than playing games.
I’ve got about a dozen retro handhelds that are loaded with the same games but they’re all configured and modded differently simply for the love of tinkering. The time I’ve spent fooling around under the hood vs playtime is easily 50:1. But like… that’s what I buy them for.
Yeah but it's way easier and less tinkery than what's described in the OP
Yes, I think that's the point. They just wanted to play PS3 games, they would probably just buy a PS3 for cheap and be done with it.
But this person obviously thought it was more interesting to mod a switch to do it and I fully agree.
This person is the same type of person that makes DOOM run inside a PDF, or something else weird.
