Emulation on the series S/X

[Derealized]

I have a series S, which sits there unused a lot of the time since I'm much more focused on the PC. I do hear though that these are actually great for emulation, can anyone confirm this, is it worth the time to set it all up? As far as i know right now, you need to use Dev Mode, which is like a $20 one time payment. Then from there... I'm guessing you add everything else by USB? This is far as I've looked into it, figured I'd try and ask first. See what other people think before trying it for myself.

This might be a good thing to keep out in the living room, even though i have a WII, as well as other consoles. It looks like the series S/X both have plenty of power to run emulators at high resolutions 60FPS, everything I've heard so far sounds good.

I hate how you have to pay $20 to have proper access to the console you paid for. It should be free.

now it is, they recently announced that dev mode registration is free.

i know it costs money, but at least it allows any emulation at all. The other two are way too strict about it.

If it is free then what am i waiting for? I'm going to look into it a little, get it set up. Maybe I'll respond back here with the results. As much as people complain about the series s and how it doesn't hold up to the others.... If you think about what it would cost to match it though, if you were to build it as a PC. It really depends how you look at it. Especially if you get one used or something, or as the prices drop towards the end of this generation. It might be something worth picking up.

Now if had steam too... And you could get one for like $100. i mean, i wish i had options like this years ago.
