I currently play most games thru emulators but been wondering whether it is worth it to get the Switch V1 version for handheld.

my plan would be putting the roms onto the Switch and then play handheld (is this possible?)

Playing when traveling, a few hours in bed before sleeping or cozy up next to the heather in the evening seems nice. However is it still worth around €300 euro for it, may I have your opinion on the matter?

    I think, I worded it wrongly.

    I currently just pirate the roms and play the games through emulation. Wondering whether it is worth it to purchase an V1 Switch, that can be ‘hacked’ and then put the pirate roms into it to play the games handheld (traveling, in bed, cozied up next to the heater).

    I have been told only the V1 versions can be hacked/ jailbroken.

      That’s not true, all can be. But get a Deck. The V1 dropped in price after the widely available new hack.

        Early V1 can be soft modded which is much more hassle-free, new ones require a modchip.
