People have already started dumping their Switch 2 games. You can find them online, the dumps of them. But there's no mod yet, as far as I know, for the Switch 2 that allows it to get back up games. But the Switch 2, or Switch 1, sorry, that's been broke, the security in that's been broke wide open for like five years now, six years. And I think it happened like a year, maybe two, after the Switch came out. So I don't think it's going to be very long before the Switch 2 is broken open either. It still uses like an Nvidia Tegra type processor, so the architecture is very similar to the Switch 1. I think that's going to be their downfall because backward compatibility is usually the way into a new system. And the Switch 2 is backward compatible with Switch 1 games. So I think that's going to be the vulnerability that they're going to use to exploit that system. And once they do, and they've got the code and the running code and the OS, then you can put together an emulator pretty quick once you've got the system security defeated. And it's already been worked on. I've seen some things online. And my Steam Deck, I don't think, is going to be able to run Switch 2 games. I don't think so. But my Mac, that's going to be able to run anything that they throw at it in the way of Switch 2. I can run PlayStation 4 games on my Mac with an emulator. I don't have too much trouble. PlayStation 3 games, same thing. Switch, there's emulators for Mac for all of this stuff. Emulation station, that front end that I talked about, there's a version of it for Mac. So you can play all your games on the M4 Mac Mini. It's a very powerful little thing. Despite its size, it's a very, very capable gaming rig. You know, four games that are written for the ARM architecture and Mac OS, which there are quite a few emulators now that have been updated to support Apple Silicon. So I love this stuff, man. Video games in general is one of my big hobbies. I play quite a bit of them on a very regular basis, at least on a daily basis. Bill was mentioning the handheld gaming computer that his wife has, the ROG Ally. It's like controllers on the inside of a screen all built into one thing. Kind of like a Nintendo Switch, but you can't pull the controllers off it. And that's what the Steam deck does as well. Only all the other handheld gaming computers with built-in controllers all run Windows. Steam Deck runs Linux. It runs Steam OS. It's a GameScope front end that gives you, it looks just like Steam on your desktop computer, but it doesn't load all the desktop stuff, like all the Windows stuff, all the extras. It only loads in GameScope what you need for playing games, and that's it. And it works really, really well. I've got to say, I absolutely love Steam OS. And you can put it on just about any of these handheld gaming computers that are out now. So again, it's included to Windows and it's cool.
