the crucial applications available for Nintendo Switch gamers.
It’s vital to emphasize that retro emulation, in general, is a disputed activity, because while the act of emulation itself is legal (for now, at least), downloading or sharing game ROMs — the images or files of the games — violates copyright laws and is considered illegal. However, emulation does not equate to piracy, and emulators are lawful if they lack copyrighted code and you’re emulating your own content, such as backups of games. Nevertheless, Nintendo has taken the position that emulation itself is illegal in its lawsuit against Yuzu, a now-defunct Switch emulator. Following their victory in that lawsuit, the future of emulation as a whole remains uncertain. Interestingly, arguably the best starting point with emulators is via a Yuzu fork, Eden, which serves as an offshoot of the original application.
