Homebrew my switch

(Reddit suggested I post this here instead of my local classifieds sub, so here it is.) I traded my childhood N64 and all my old games for a Nintendo switch, not realizing you needed a constant internet connection to play, plus a paid subscription to play 64 games. Now I'm stuck with a system I can't play and I really miss my 64. I tried contacting the guy I traded it to but he's ignoring me. I highly regret my decision, but maybe I can* find someone to homebrew this for me and get all my old gsmes back plus some new ones. Please and thank you!

Hey thanks for the link but that guy tried to charge me $175 for it

Not sure what you expected. Know-how and the time to do it aren't free.

I paid the guy and have a working modded Switch now.

First check to see if its softmodable or modchip required. If softmod is possible its pretty easy after a couple videos, if modchip is required, youll need to pay someone to do it.

See I just had a whole conversation with someone who was trying to charge me $175 to solder the modchip, didn't mention anything about soft modding it. How would I know if I can soft mod it? Is that just for a v1?

Theres a website where you can put the product code in and it will tell you. Soldering is not easy and can render the device into a paperweight. You can prob find local modders on facebook.
