No it would make the situation worse for them, they can publish it _without any WII support at all_. But not just without the key.
Trying it without the key would be like saying "we do know it's illegal" instead of "it's clearly covered by DMCA exceptions and related law".
Removing the key without removing the whole WII functionality *is the one think they must no do no matter what*.

- dathinab 3y agoin our in many many ways but in this case it wouldn't be a legal admission of guild but it would be propagated as such by Nintendo if there ever is a legal case reducing the odds of winning such an hypothetical case The reason why Dolphin is legal is based on it being mainly a tool for playing old games you own and potentially with mods, accessibility tools and similar. So for Nintendo to win a case they would need to convince the judge that it's mainly meant for illegal copyright infringement. Their argument would likely be on the line of the Wii code without the ability to load legal Wii games is useless and having it would be really strange as you could only use it with illegal copies with the copy protection stripped. And stripping it is always illegal to do. So it would be designed for illegal usage. (And rare new games released that way but they would argue it doesn't matter in the grater picture). I.e. it would be easier for them to win a legal case against Dolphin without it having been an legal admittance of guild.
