> Suyu will also require you to dump your title.keys and firmware from a hacked Switch to run games It seems misleading to imply that you NEED to dump them from a real device? Can't you just provide the files found on the internet?
Well, that would be piracy. The Suyu team condemns that behavior. Edited: condones -> condemns

On my Mac, the .dmg mounts but the executable says "“suyu” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin."

It can be a resume piece. Having been in these communities (server emulation instead of console) you find some insanely bright developers in them. A lot of them don't have a formal education background, but are willing to build out well thought out pieces of software. You just have to do the research on them if they tell you this is who they are, a lot of the times you can find out plenty about how they code and desi…
Not making sense. These anon devs can still have socials. Their resume is public, and you can reach them without revealing their identity.
Companies generally don't take anonymous credentials.
The key bit: > Unlike Yuzu, the Suyu team does things differently in regards to Nintendo Switch emulation than their predecessors. Whereas Yuzu only required prod.keys, Suyu will also require you to dump your title.keys and firmware from a hacked Switch to run games. The devs also clarified that they are doing this for nonprofit (there's no Patreon) and do not condone piracy. We'll see how long it lasts...
One argument I heard for the Yuzu settlement was to avoid discovery. There's speculation that Nintendo had the goods on them, and that discovery would expose them to more than the civil penalties they were facing. Nintendo has never been friendly to emulation, or most fan content in general, but there are protections for fair-use and this team appears to be building their work behind those, rather than playing fast a…
*Making money* by helping people run Zelda _before it came out_ was begging for trouble.
Nintendo's approach to fan projects and emulators is ridiculous, don't get me wrong — but Yuzu authors were definitely playing with fire and overstepping what's generally accepted in the community.
Why don't any of these major emulator teams build and release anonymously?

I have to think Nintendo knew this. They had to defend what they could and did so because the original project actually seemed to be doing some sketchy stuff. They know they can't stop everything though.
3 things in life are certain. Death, taxes, and Nintendo emulators.
There is no 3rd without the legal problems with Nintendo.

Do they expect a company to believe them when they say "Yes, that anonymous social profile is actually me, John Emu maker. Really." Then if they proove it, by logging in and posting a known sentinel for example, do they expect everyone on that interview loop to keep their secret?
