PSP version of Ys ark of Napishtim. Have so many systems/games to play I tend to jump between games a lot but this one stuck with me, I loved it. Don’t know how many hours I spent in Canaan, but I had a great time getting to the end. Starting Ys seven now

My recommendation is a homebrewable Switch. It runs pretty much anything you'd want in terms of emulation up to but not including the Wii U and PS3. Usually you can find them second-hand pretty cheap.

I've got a real early switch I've been wanting to mod for a while, I'm just worried about ending up with a cheap shim that screws the connections on my rails.

I did it without a jig. It was early days and I used a paperclip to manually bridge the pins. As long as you're careful it's actually pretty safe. Just push it towards pin 9 and 10, and it should work.

I've also seen people mod their joycons to make the button you push to slide the joycon into a RCM button, which I might do.

In any case, just don't jam anything in willy-nilly and it shouldn't break. Same with the jig. You can set the switch to automatically go into RCM mode as well once the modding is done, removing the need for the jig, although the switch will then not boot normally when you don't have a payload for it. The only time this happens realistically is when the battery depletes.
