    sounds great, until you read literally the next sentence:

    They run afoul of the law when they bypass encryption, recreate copyrighted programs, or point users to pirated material.

    aka you can emulate stuff, just not for anything remotely modern.

      Just because I’m legally not allowed to does not in the slightest mean that I can’t.

      Ryujinx did none of that, which is why instead of taking it down, Nintendo just paid off the main developer to take it down.

      Yuzu generated keys programatically, which was the issue, and Nintendo took that down directly.

      So according to Nintendo’s actions, they think Ryujinx was perfectly legal.

        Sure and then paying the dev not to develope it is also legal. Who wouldn’t take it see that free program you are spending time on we well pay you not to do that.

    Fuck Nintendo. I would pay 60 bucks a game to get my entire N64 and NES library back but Nintendo will never make the bulk their older games available.
