    I feel this was only a matter of time, as there is no legal way to dump your games, so emulating the Switch is a very gray area

      Since when is it illegal to dump games? I understand distributing them being illegal but this is my own hardware, if I wanna dump BotW to my Deck I’m gonna dump it

        In the USA if you are circumventing some digital lock (encryption) in order to create the backup, it is illegal. The DMCA fucked us out of our rights to an archival copy.
