The interesting part is that Dolphin can be put on Steam without issue, if the team removes the Wii common key. If they do that Nintendo can do absolutely nothing against Dolphin.
@Raifteiri and that's why I can't play my original SNES copy of Final Fantasy VI, because my Cartridge is damaged and I can't get a working rom from it
@HeadPirate please don't post so much misinformation. Your posts, even if they are as long as they are, contain tons of misinformation.
There is NO CASE about people dumping their own roms. There ARE CASES about people pirating roms.
In many Countries, mine (Germany) included, using roms IS LEGAL as long as you made the copy yourself and didn't circumvent the DRM (which is possible). I emulate my games for years and never downloaded any roms in my life. A game cartridge DOES NOT count as copy protection AND even under the DMCA it is legal AS LONG AS YOU DON'T CIRCUMVENT A COPY PROTECTION which is perfectly possible for Gamecube and Wii (you don't even need to hack your GC or Wii, therefore you're not tinkering with their "security systems") with certain DVD drives. Gamecube and Wii discs basically just were DVDs and nothing else.
Oh and your whole "I have a Switch Emulator from Nintendo as SDK" is just a lie. It doesn't exist. If you develop for Nintendo, you have a real devkit with real hardware. And sorry, but an XBOX devkit? Anyone can have that, just put your XBox Series console in Devmode and done.
