          All copyrighted material is stripped from the repos and has to be extracted from a valid rom by the user.

          The reverse engineered code doesn’t count as derivative.

          Super Mario 64 has been decompiled for years now.

            I am not a lawyer so can’t comment on the reverse engineered code counting as derivative. Personally, I thought it would be considered that. The time doesn’t mean much considering Yuzu.

              Yeah, but the Yuzu devs allegedly bragged about TotK running on EA builds before release. The decompilers weren’t that stupid.

              Decompilations are about as legal as emulators (that don’t circumvent encryption).
