Your confusing the product and the creators of it.
They are one and the same. If you knew where to look, they provided means. This is one case that didnāt even make it to discovery before settling, that just tells you how fucked they were and how wrong they did everything.
Whatās wrong with Twitter? You could also just google this and find the information yourself, donāt know why I have to provide what should be common knowledge on this subject. They were not a legal emulator, full stop, sorry.

Tools are agnostic to their use. Tools do not have a preference how they are used. Hammers that are used are agnostic to if they are hammering a nail into a wall or caving in a skull. Yuzu would work exactly the same if you dumped your own carts. Same for emulators for Genesis and Atari 2600 and PlayStation.

If you make a claim, you need to provide the evidence. That's how these things work. You say a claim, you give us the proof. And I can say on Twitter "Yuzu was 100000% legal and Nintendo actually is the real illegal operation". Now that's a valid source too, right?
Sorry but that biggest technology legal experts and defenders of the little guys who get sued by the big companies you polish the boots with your tongue strongly prove you wrong.
Stop peddling that stupid lie already. They didn't use any key period; we literally have backups of the entire GPL source code will all of the commit history dating all the way back to August 30, 2013, stop spewing bullshit out your mouth.
You had to rip your own key from your own legally purchased switch hardware using legally protected homebrew tools and manually add it to Yuzu configs.This process is protected under Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act.
Under the fair use doctrine in Section 107, modifying your own legally purchased console hardware and running homebrew software for personal, non-commercial use has been considered a lawful fair use in certain legal precedents, even if it requires circumventing the console's technological protection measures (TPMs) as its considered non-profit, educational or transformative use, as described in the fair use doctrine of Section 107.
Section 107 of the Copyright Act establishes the fair use exception, which allows for the reproduction of copyrighted works for purposes such as "criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research".
Clean Room design reverse engineering for the purpose of creating an Emulator falls under "research" as listed by section 107 and independent creation as protected by existing judicial precedents.
Section 107 is intended to restate the present judicial doctrine of fair use, not to change, narrow, or enlarge it in any way.
Meaning Clean Room design reverse engineering as independent creation & modifying your legally purchased hardware with homebrew tools as fair use being protected by existing judicial precedents is also in turn protected by Section 107.
And the Twitter thread had the sources
Twitter doesn't allow us to reverse the thread, kindly link the exact source you're referring to.
Which they didnāt do since their ripped key was in a google drive (it was someone elseās key) and they had folders full of illegal romsā¦.
You would also need to know how decode and use that key, itās not just taking a key and suddenly you have a working emulator, you canāt be serious about this are youā¦?
Thatās not how you make an emulator and claim game preservation, sorry. Yuzu got sued and didnāt even make it to discovery, since they had nothing to stand onā¦. Since they had an illegal bios key and game roms.

Again, provide proof or kindly STFU.

Please learn how the fuck clean room design reverse engineering works. It's a 2 team operation were one team uses reverse engineering methods to write spec documentation without any code at all, then another team without access to copyright content using the that spec documentation to build out the actual code. This again is already deamed independent creation under section 107.

They had TOTK working on their emulator before the game released. How did they get they key, and test and update their emulator with legally acquired clean room techniquesā¦?
Sure, if you ignore the mountain of evidence, they did things kinda right. The proof is right there if you donāt just choose to ignore it since it doesnāt align with your biasā¦.
And everything is deleted and scrubbed, the only thing youāll find is posts and articles talking about it now.
You fundamentally misunderstand how emulators work. Emulators are the recreation of the actual spec of the hardware itself in software. They do not need some unique key for TOTK to work as the hardware itself is what's being emulated not some encryption key pulled of the hardware. All the key does is decode the ROMs encryption so it can be run by the hardware and inturn the emulator that's mimicking the hardware. Literally any encryption key dumped from any homebrew'd switch can decode TOTK. Not once did Yuzu access TOTK ROMs files, more over the TOTK ROMs was leaked by a 3rd party with no connection to Yuzu.
Queues arguement doesnāt work since they didnāt reverse engineer their keyā¦.
Iām not defending Nintendo, I am providing information on the subject, it just unfortunately only looks bad for one side here. I even said legal emulation has its placeā¦. So how am I āshillā and ādefendingā Nintendo? Because I proved you are fucking wrong? Lmfao. Why is THAT always the comeback in this scenarios?
The emulator is illegal, since they didnt make their own key, queues argument at the very bottom is about its legal when you do xyz, which yuzu never did.
Iām sorry the facts donāt align with your bias here and your only recourse is to insult me.
I gave you 5 resources. None of then were about Yuzu, why are you still taking about it? It seems like you didn't even click on any of my links.
Because Iām not biting into your fallacious goalpost movingā¦? Itās trolling, nothing else.
What does any of those 5 links have to do with what was being discussed? Oh nothing, you didnāt like being wrong so now youāre throwing shit at the wall.
