Legal Issues Halt Development of Skyline Nintendo Switch Emulator

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.

The move has also scared the developers of Skyline, an Android Switch emulator, into shutting down development. However, the Ryujinx team has responded with a resounding no to the question of whether this means the end for PC emulators.
