What I don't get is why emulator devs don't develop completely anonymously, you can't shut them down if you don't know who they are
Okay but they still need to distribute it if they want others to use it. And you don’t reach a lot of people through sneakernet alone. Nintendo will just shut down every place the software gets distributed. Then no legitimate site wants to touch that with a ten yard stick.
torzu currently does this, though iirc the development is slowing because it's a big time commitment
