      Ship Of Harkinian (and similar projects) have kept gping for a long time, and they don’t do anything remotely illegal either

          With the last two big things I’ve heard about (Yuzu and… Dolphin, I think?) they were legally in the right, but at least where I live there is absolutely no way to spin a recompiler + asset extractor as something illegal - they can’t even claim the developers are circumventing DRM, because OOT and MM didn’t have any.

          Though, I would not be surprised if there’s something in US law that can be exploited for this.

      I wonder if this would make swapping in assets from the Xbox remaster of Conker possible/convenient. I suspect it depends more on how accessible the files of the remaster are.
