Afaik you need to own a modded Switch to get the necessary keys, though. That’s a big outlay, if you can even find one - they’re rare as hens teeth. Edit: Awes

Edit: Awesome - great to know!
- xyzzy_plugh 3y agoYou do not need a Switch at all, unless you're trying to somehow skirt the legality issues.
- sudosysgen 3y agoYou can find the keys online.
- nicolas_17 3y agoAnd that is the illegal part, rather than the development of the emulator...
- tonmoy 3y agoClearly not according to Nintendo
- johnnyanmac 3y agoThe moment they find a BIOS source they'll be taken out too. But the internet is a game of cat and mouse.
- Natsu 3y agoSo it's like the 09F9 1102 thing all over again? I think I still have most of the key memorized from back then.
- WithinReason 3y agoYes, if you want to do it legally.
- 3abiton 3y agoNintendo made it clear that this is also "illegal". You have to opt for the worse experience (using the switch) otherwise you're the bad guy ...
- sharpneli 3y agoDepends on the place. This sort of interoperability is explicitly allowed in the EU.
- cqqxo4zV46cp 3y agoPer whose interpretation of the law? The DMA isn’t going to give nerds the utopia they think that they’re going to get.
- tssge 3y agoNote: I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice. In the EU, reverse engineering is allowed by law if the reason for doing so is interoperability by the one who owns a license to the product in question. "The authorisation of the rightholder shall not be required where reproduction of the code and translation of its form within the meaning of points (a) and (b) of Article 4(1) are indispensable to obtain the information necessary to achieve the interoperability of an independently created computer program with other programs, provided that the following conditions are met: (a) those acts are performed by the licensee or by another person having a right to use a copy of a program, or on their behalf by a person authorised to do so; (b) the information necessary to achieve interoperability has not previously been readily available to the persons referred to in point (a); and (c) those acts are confined to the parts of the original program which are necessary in order to achieve interoperability."

- KingOfCoders 3y agoLuckily Nintendo (Shadowrun is still some years away, when Ninsonmicro determines what is legal and what isn't) is not the authority to determine if something is illegal or not. But of course they are entitled to their own opinion.
- 14 3y agoAre they really rare? I have an older switch that is easily hackable and can’t be blocked due to it being a hardware vulnerability but I have never bothered to hack it as I just don’t know if it is worth it. Not sure if you can continue to play online once hacked and I assume once hacked play pirated games as why else hack it. But I haven’t pirated games in a long time I wonder if it is worth it. What the switch really needs is a messaging app maybe hacked switches can do that idk.
- cassianoleal 3y ago> why else hack it So you can dump the cartridges and digital games you own, and the keys to run them.
