Nintendo v. Pomelo: Yuzu-Based iOS Switch Emu in Circumvention Dead End * TorrentFreak
torrentfreak.com
Nintendo is targeting Pomelo, a popular Switch emulator for iOS devices. Like similar emulators before it, Pomelo has nowhere left to go.

2024 has been a pretty rough year for Nintendo-loving emulator fans. At this point it’s clear that they can either choose Nintendo, or Switch emulators, but they can’t have relationships with both. At least not in public. During the last few hours Nintendo began targeting Pomelo, a popular Switch emulator for iOS devices. Like similar emulators before it, Pomelo’s disclaimer against piracy is redundant. Thanks to its family tree, it has nowhere left to go.

    Using the Yuzu case for guidance, dumping encryption keys, regardless of the source of those keys, is illegal

    This is false, as the case is non existant, because it has been settled out of court. It has to be proven in court that is illegal, as there’s no law that says that dumping the keys from my own hardware that i paid with my own money is illegal.

      It depends on who is interpreting the DMCA really.

      It criminalizes production and dissemination of technology, devices, or services intended to circumvent measures that control access to copyrighted works (commonly known as digital rights management or DRM). It also criminalizes the act of circumventing an access control, whether or not there is actual infringement of copyright itself.

      My guess is that if it ever does go to court that N’s argument will be that you don’t own the keys.
