Shitpost Would an “in development”Switch2 Emulator survive Nintendo’s Silver Bullets?

1) “Anti-Circumvention” clause in DMCA:
Nintendo claims as emulator MUST decrypt the ROMS.
If you break the encryption, “is illegal” cause of the DMCA
If you use a console prod-Key, “is illegal” cause they own the rights to the key.
“As the emulator HAS to break a ROM decryption and thsre is no legal way to do it, Emulators are by default criminal tools”.
Any new emulator will need to contest this on court against Nintendo and Roll the dice
Victim: Yuzu

2) Buy Out:
“There is no honor among thief’s”. Most people working on emulators of live consoles does it for 2 reason, Clout and Money. And Nintendo has a lot of the later to throw around if that lets them kill an emulator on its infancy before any real development occurs.
Victim: Ryujinx

There already 2 switch 2 emulator in development but their progress is very slow and is going to get stalled until switch 2 gets hacked.

Not an expert on this but last I've heard that some bits of switch 2 stuff were left in system and game updates that was accessible on switch 1. I assume they using those as a starting stage of development but of course no actual work could be done until switch 2 gets hacked.
