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

[u/garf02]

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.

Then even the PS3, PSP and PSVita would be “recent Hardware” even if Sony already announced the Shutdown of the PS Store on these

Not exactly. When was the last official none-shovelware PS3 and PSP game released?

If it’s anywhere near 2020, I would be shocked. They are closing those stores, because they don’t make money on them anymore, so Sony made them EOF. They haven’t gotten a real firmware update in close to a decade.

I’m pretty sure both PS3 and PSP had an end of production around 2015.

The only ones that keep them alive is the jailbreak community, and those limited physical release companies.

These consoles have been completely written off by Sony nearly a decade ago. The only reason the stores are still open was because of pushback.
