Nintendo seems to have fired back over the Tears of the Kingdom leak by DMCAing popular Switch emulation tools

First reported by GBAtemp, it looks like Nintendo is aggressively responding to the Tears of the Kingdom leak by targeting key portions of the Switch emulation ecosystem, namely the Lockpick and Lockpick_RCM programs that dump Switch game decryption keys and allow emulators like Yuzu and Ryujinx to decrypt and open the game files.
>> It looks like the Zelda leak may actually put the current emulators in danger.

More like they'll just make it something separate that is not the emulators' developers' responsibility like the PS2 Bios. Which sucks a bit because you'll be depending on sketchier links that are always being shot down.

AFAIK that's the case too for RPCS3 since ROMs have to be decrypted with a third-party tool beforehand.
