    The flaw in your understanding is the assumption Nintendo is acting in good faith. They would just use a different excuse to go after such an emulator.

      As below, Dolphin emulator is running for 20 years and they haven’t “gone after” it.

      If you

      1. Decrypt games with a proprietary algorithm
      2. Charge for access to leaked games

      That makes you a target.

          No, they didn’t. Valve asked Nintendo of America if they wanted Dolphin listed on Steam, Nintendo responded no, Value shut it down. It’s one thing to turn a blind eye to Dolphin for so long, it’s another to be asked to go on record and writing as endorsing its distribution.
