Nintendo Switch and dumping PS1/2 titles from PS3
While you can play PS1/PS2 discs directly from your PC's optical drive in some emulators (ePSXe and older mednafen releases for PS1, PCSX2 for PS2) it wears the disc and the optical drive the longer you use it, hence why it's not recommended.
===With A PlayStation 3 With CFW and Title Manager===
Dumping PS1/2 titles With a title manager like Multiman is quite easy on PS3 with CFW.
# Put the PS1/PS2 disc into the disc drive.
# Open the title manager e.g. Multiman/Irisman and move the cursor to the game you just inserted.
# Open the menu and select "create ISO" or similar option.
# Choose where to store the ISO file. It's recommended to insert a USB drive and save it there so it could be easily moved away from the PS3.
# Then you'll get the ISO dump at the specified location.
===Ripping From Emulated Releases===
Now, if you "Initialize USB Connection" with your computer, what will appear under the freshly mounted drive in Windows isn't your memory stick, but a drive with a neat ISO file ripe for copying to your computer, which you can emulate or load in a CFW enabled PSP.

===With A Nintendo Switch Console With CFW===
Both cartridge and digital games, and related DLCs and updates could be easily dumped with [https://github.com/DarkMatterCore/nxdumptool nxdumptool].
Notice that you are very likely to be using emuNand in order to prevent from damaging the system software stored in the actual built-in storage and/or getting banned from eShop and other online services by Nintendo. If that is the case, you will have to create a new emuNand as the image of the built-in storage in order to dump game titles installed from eShop in actual built-in storage.
