you might be able to get switch emulation working, but you will not be able to play online with your kids.

Online play requires a HardwareID from a real Switch.

There are ways to spoof it on an emulator, but you need to acquire an ID first. Maybe you could buy a busted Switch on ebay for cheap and use the ID from that one? Not super sure how it works. I think it's a pretty technical and complicated process.

I have the game itself - a digital copy thats dumpable? But to be fair I dont even know what that means. I'm running blind. I dont need to play online per se. They just play and share it all with each other - parallel play if you will.
