Legal Issues Halt Development of Skyline Nintendo Switch Emulator
TL;DR Summary
The developers of the popular Switch Android emulator Skyline have ceased development due to a DMCA takedown notice from Nintendo related to Lockpick, a homebrew software that dumps Switch security keys used with the emulator. The Skyline team stated that continuing development could potentially violate Nintendo's copyright, but the emulator is still technically legal. The repository and software builds will remain available, but there won't be any support.
