What Hacker News says?
Dolphin ships with a bunch of keys in the source code[0]. So do almost every other emulators for any console from 6/7th gen consoles (ps3, xbox360, gamecube), see delroth's post on the matter here[1]. It's really not that simple - jurisdiction matters a lot, and also Nintendo's own priorities. [0]: https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/blob/34527cadcce49a9a...
