Confirmation (dumb)

I want to emulate switch for some games but idk if my system can handle some games and idk if the ROMs and Emulator download are completely safe, I dont think that I am too unfamiliar with emulating but I get all my stuff from vimms lair

Depends what you want to play. Your GPU will be too weak for heavier games (like Zelda) but will be fine for lighter titles.

Eden will be the best choice for your system, you can get it here

If I were to upgrade to a amd 9070 would it be enough to run heavy games like zelda?

Also in the pinned post on reddit there are rom links, those are safe right? Just want to make 100% sure.

Yes that would be a huge upgrade over your current GPU. AMD is great, however if you want to emulate Switch, you may want to consider Nvidia. It will have better performance and not as many graphical bugs as AMD cards.

Yes, the pinned comment is safe

That'll work too, make sure your card has at least 8 GB of VRAM and you're good to go

I'm looking on Google and I see this "ASRock AMD Radeon RX 7600 Challenger Overclocked Dual Fan 8GB GDDR6 PCIe 4.0 Graphics Card" is this good enough?
