History has the tendency to repeat itself. Considering Nintendo does a lot to cut manufacturing costs where possible, that would be cheaper to keep the new carts from working in the original. I bet you’re right on this

Also a good point. It would be surprising if the protocol wasn’t changed either for the slot itself.
Should be interesting to see how it blocks flashcarts.
That’s exactly what I’m thinking as well. When and if it gets confirmed that the cartridge slot is exactly the same (don’t see why it wouldn’t be) and can read Switch carts, that will probably be it.
More than likely though, Switch 2 carts will have a different type of encryption that things like the Mig switch probably won’t be able to read without an update
Can definitely vouch for Sceptre. Have a computer monitor from them and a TV as well. Absolutely love them both. My concern is actually tracking down Sceptre anything though. They’re constantly out of stock on their website
+1 for System76. Linux support by default and they ship to Switzerland
They also work with a Phalanx XR-12
Ha! That was a good one.
(I’ll be surprised if anyone gets the reference I made lol)
Find a way to convert them into triangle shaped disks
Nice! I left Windows behind a few months ago as well. Had been dual booting Ubuntu and Windows since Windows 7.
Tried to primarily game on Ubuntu about a decade ago but it just didn’t work out well at the time so I had to keep Windows around. Fast forward to this past year with Windows 10 quickly approaching EoL and (me personally) not being a fan of the direction Canonical is taking Ubuntu I started looking at other options.
Ended up learning about Bazzite and haven’t looked back. Was able to play almost my entire game’s library without much effort. I had planned on dual booting two Linux operating systems so I could separate work from play, but decided to stick with one.
This is a must grab for me. I have all the Star Wars games available for switch (with the exception of the live service game that recently released). If this gets a physical cartridge I’ll be picking one up
Outside of the few flashcarts I have, don’t really know the history behind the creation of them. Probably worth looking into the everdrive made by Krikzz as a starting point.
My Life in Gaming also did a few videos on the subject a while back. Here’s one of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuHA3k-y6PE
For me personally, I think it’s a good way to play rom hacks on original hardware. Definitely a good way to also not put as much wear and tear on the cartridge slot either
