I do wonder how all the Nintendo leaks do/will/don't impact emulator development. If the core team don't look at it, fine but how can they accept PRs/MRs and make sure nothing from the leak makes it into their codebase via a third party? Or is that just not a problem?
Depending on the Google/Oracle trial fallout, it could become illegal to implement system APIs because of API copyright. So while CPU instruction set emulation is fine, depending on how system emulators work, they could be deemed “illegal”.
