I have a steam deck and figured out how to emulate BoTW.
I was initially disappointed by my inability to get it to run at better than roughly 20-25 fps even after some tweaks and bullshit.
… Then I realized that the Switch 1, in handheld mode… can’t actually do much better, claims to run at 30fps, frequently has framerate drop spikes.
So yeah, a Deck does a pretty good job, as has always been the case with emulators: its a bit less efficient than the native hardware env on the most demanding titles, but a Switch 1 can barely fucking run BoTW properly as well.
My next attempt at this?
See if I can jerry rig FSR 2 in the emulator to run it at a lower res and then upscale.
Get a steam deck and pirate any of the games you want

What sites can you pirate switch games from? So I know to stay away from them
Idk, Nintendo games have zero appeal to me. Not sure what the best source is.
