On the 24th of June, 2016, Dolphin 5.0 was released. The product of a long and hard transition period, the fundamental inaccuracies that plagued Dolphin for over a decade had successfully been undone, and Dolphin was now free of its burdens to swim forward into a new era of accuracy…
If Nintendo can show that you knowingly promoted piracy, you are still screwed. If I recall correctly they were able to do this with yuzu because they were adding support for games that were only available through piracy, as they weren’t even publicly released yet. Dolphin obviously doesn’t have to worry about that specifically though.
As i understand it emulator software is largely viewed as legal are long as they don’t ship other people’s IP (decryption keys, bios, etc).
I don’t think dolphin is doing that so they should be in the clear.
Dolphin may have uh a certain strong in there that correlates pretty close to a decryption key (legally of course)
