In Nintendo is suing the creators of Switch emulator YuzuThere is some overlap with that case, but also some major differences. Psystar was distributing computers with a modified version of Mac OS X preinstalled, whereas Yuzu is not modifying or distributing any Nintendo-copyrighted materials. However, Psystar was also charged with violating DMCA section 1201(a), the section dealing with creating copyright circumvention devices, and Yuzu could potentially be found in violation of that.
However, Yuzu requires that you bring your own decryption keys obtained from your own Switch device; it cannot circumvent copy protections without that. The only circumvention code included in Yuzu is basically just standard 128-bit XTS-AES decryption code; it seems like a ruling that makes that code illegal to distribute would be a bad idea.

2 points · Open discussionI hadn't seen this before and I was curious what approach Ryujinx and Yuzu (mentioned here) take to emulate the GPU. Both appear to emulate the actual hardware rather than patch the guest to intercept graphics calls in some way. This includes recompiling Maxwell shader machine code into host-compatible shaders (GLSL or whatever). Impressive.
