    As i understand it emulator software is largely viewed as legal are long as they don’t ship other people’s IP (decryption keys, bios, etc).

    I don’t think dolphin is doing that so they should be in the clear.

      If Nintendo can show that you knowingly promoted piracy, you are still screwed. If I recall correctly they were able to do this with yuzu because they were adding support for games that were only available through piracy, as they weren’t even publicly released yet. Dolphin obviously doesn’t have to worry about that specifically though.

      Dolphin may have uh a certain strong in there that correlates pretty close to a decryption key (legally of course)
