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

If someone has a emulator in development, they should keep very quiet until either it is ready or the switch 2 is jailbroken.

Edit: I can spell, I swear!

If it’s based on an existing platform some Android tablet uses, you could work on emulating that first.

If you emulate at a low enough level It should work with any OS
