Dolphin vs. Nintendo, and the Fate of Dolphin Emulator Everyone knows that emulators are legal... but why are they legal? Emulation is far more fragile than most people think, and its protected only by the thinnest veneer of law. Nintendo's recent takedown of Dolphin Emulator's release on Steam shows us that we cannot take the future of emulation for granted! Let's explore together, the history of emulation law, the Dolphin vs. Nintendo battle over Steam, and the fate of Dolphin emulator. In so doing, we will learn what is legal in emulation, what isn't legal, and what still has yet to be clarified. --- 10% of Moon Channel's Revenue goes to charity: including our sponsorship income!
