    I wouldn’t count on Switch 2 emulation being nearly as good as Switch 1 was. Not many people are going to be willing to put a lot of effort into it for free when it’s known that Nintendo will aggressively shut them down.

        Yes.

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

        Both Yuzu and Ryujinx had to bypass encryption to be able to run the games. Switch 2 will be the same.

          I think a big point in those cases was that the emulators came with the keys included. If you don’t provide the keys (or make them VERY easily available), emulators seem to be legal.
