How is any of that possible? The Switch doesn't even come with a cable to plug into the computer? Do you need to use an SD card in a card reader or something to get to the files? And does a Switch have to be modded to do any of this?

I am currently helping someone port his graphical mod over to switch so I can explain some things. If your switch is modded, you can use something called layeredFS. This basically let's you redirect what files the game pulls it's assets from as long as you know the file structure. This allows modding without actually altering the game files. The Switch port of FF7 uses an almost identical file structure as the PC port so if you set it up correctly on the SD card, you can copy over a modded lgp file and it will use that instead of the one built into the game. Very convenient for testing mods since you don't have to keep a vanilla version of the game files.

The Switch is a standard USB C cable.
You can do whatever you want after you crack it.

My Switch isn't modded, and I'm not very comfortable modding a brand new console I just got like 2 weeks ago. I did hack my Vita I got at around the same time, but only because it's an old system and wasn't brand new, and I'm far less likely to get banned for hacking it than on the Switch is far more likely to get banned for hacking. The other problem is I don't currently have an SD card in my Switch yet. I'm using the internal storage and when I plugged in my Switch with a phone charger USB-C charger yesterday into my computer it didn't come up with showing any storage device. So I couldn't look at the file structure. If I did put in an SD card and plug it into my computer, would that make it show up as a proper storage device? The only SD card I have currently is a 32GB card in my phone and I don't really want to use it in my Switch cause my phone has lots of stuff on it and I don't know if I used it if I could ever get it to work on my phone again or not. I also don't even know how to hack a Switch right now as I've never looked up a tutorial so far. I was actually kind of nervous about using my phone's USB-C charger because I've heard the Switch is picky about what kind of USB-C charges it. Thankfully it didn't seem to hurt it at all.

The easiest way, is just transfer the games to the SD card.
Then put that into a PC.
