Well, I do own an older Switch that’d be vulnerable to the easy exploits but I gave up when I was supposed to get some joycon-ish device to hack my switch… so “just works” is far from the truth unless I’ve overlooked something.
You don’t need a switch (hacked or otherwise) to use yuzu. The “dump the keys from your own console” stuff is cover-your-ass doctrine, the keys are easily available online
Hacking a console often involves a bit of work and in some cases that can include physically altering the console. With older Switches you need a PC or Android phone, a USB cable and a little thingy to jump two pins the right Joy-Con rail.
There’s a bit of a process to it, but it really isn’t too bad.
Sounds like a lot of misconceptions have been given.
You don’t need to get any weird joycon, you definitely have everything you need. Either a right-joycon or a paperclip.
I’ve done both (and broke my spare JC in the process). I recommend the paperclip. [2:24 tutorial]
What’s simply happening is you’re sending power to a specific pin on your switch. When it gets power and you press the special dev-buttons (Minus-Volume & Power) it goes black and can be exploited with some tech-wizardry.
There’s some cool stuff like themes, homebrew, mods… Been playing Smash Ultimate online for years with mods. However, if you have the means on PC the actual gaming experience over the Switch is typically better and easier to get into.
It’s not that hard, but definitely can be daunting if you’re not too into computers. Really the little RCM jig is just a plastic piece that slides into your right joycon rail and jumps two pins together that basically put it into developer/diagnostic mode. Then you need either a PC, android, or one of the portable payload injectors to get it into the hacked system. From there you can set it up so that it runs a virtual hacked operating system off of an SD card, and you can still boot into the stock firmware without altering your console at all.
It’s relatively easy if you follow instructions and have an early switch. The later model ones do require you physically solder on a modchip, which I wouldn’t have bothered with if I hadn’t bought one of the early switches.

So I’ve been tricked by the Yuzu page that wants to make it seem as if you need a physical console? Dangit!
Be sure to only play legal backups of your personally owned games you dumped yourself while you’re at it.
What else would I play

They just don’t want Nintendo drops a big hammer on them. You can find the keys everywhere on the internet.
