If you start the project intending to be untracable, yes.

Most software devs aren’t thinking of that. These things with emulators often start as a hobby.

In this age with PIs and lawyers, it can often be found, and emudevs probably don’t start thinking they will be facing down a giant corpo over a hobby project.

Oh well then it’s good then that the software doesn’t have keyfiles in it, and plays unsigned and self-signed homebrew and switch software just fine.

They gave out keyfiles? Is that what you are saying?

Ryujinx does not include DRM circumvention.

Original dev almost certainly not, not if they have their real name which is likely.

Nintendo harasses people with private investigators and likely have a dossier on whoever they targeted that goes beyond just the project. Cheat on your wife? Have a questionable arrangement with your HOA about your garage? It’s all ammo against you.

Prop guns for cosplay gonna get a lot more difficult for now reason if this passes.

Oddly, most Japanese arcade games are running on Windows, for ease of portability in their market, which makes PC ports actually extremely straightforward.

Source: I got to use machines when they were doing a reboot and the whole interface loads up for the multi-game cabinets like a emulator frontend that just launches and kills the processes.

I stl don’t understand how this is better/different than EmuDeck, a project I heard much more about.

True. But by the same token, if you attain a similarly high level of knowledge about Windows, you can do much of the same stuff. Including debloating it.

I mainly say this because I would love nothing more than swapping my relatives machines to Linux, but when something breaks it can be BAD and they are missing that basic background thst 3+ decades on Windows has earned them.

A vee emm you say?

Can I get that on the app store?

…

You gotta set the bar far, far lower. Hell being able to set up a VM easoly in a Windows home license machine is still something relatively recent, without using specialized software.

If Linux only appeals to tinkers then it will see about as much market share as 80s cars as well, and peak at single digits.

If you are someone technically inclined, I totally agree with you. But I think the newer distros in the past few years that are basically good to go after install, and feature application stores linked to reputable repos, etc, are the way forward. This takes a lot of the confusion and, frankly, fear out of attempting to use Linux for your average user.

There’s a reason welding is not a common skill.

If you’re trying to proliferate welding, maybe this is a bad approach?
