I live in a country that hasn't used cheques in a couple of decades. Being reminded of their existence and spelling it "check" was beyond my aging 40 year old brain.

We call them current accounts, apparently.
What the fuck is a checking account
They were observed finding one ROM on the Internet, ever. They do have their own emulator(s).
Nintendo is a bunch of humans. If my boss asks me to see if I can find the installer for an old version of our software, you can bet I'll check anywhere before volunteering to go scrape old hard drives.
They are not "banning" emulators. They take action against two sorts of problems: leaking, and distribution of copyrighted material. Yuzu was taken down because they stupidly started charging for help with playing Tears of the Kingdom before its release. Other emulators have been threatened because they included binary console OS software (rather than actually fully emulating the console itself) or actually distributed game ROMs.
Dolphin has been around for about 20 years now. Why? Because they don't distribute copyrighted material, recommend against doing so, and don't require to include any binaries from the console.
Here's all they had to both say and adhere to, to "survive" the supposedly blood-hungry Nintendo for longer than some of the people reading this have been alive:
Where can I download game ISOs/ROMs?¶
Short answer: You don't. Buy games and dump them with a Wii.
Long answer: Downloading commercial games is illegal and thus strongly frowned upon by the Dolphin developers. To prevent legal issues, this includes gray areas like downloading games which you purchased earlier. You don't necessarily need to own a gaming console by yourself because you can buy a game disc and dump them with a friend's console. On the other hand, copying a friend's game dump is considered illegal again.
Also, lol @ the idea that it's hypocrisy for them to use their own game files. You understand that's what a ROM is, right? It isn't magic. It's just a binary file.
...
"Ripping" ROMs, or dumping them, takes almost no effort. If you have the cartridge reader its about as much work as taking photos off an SD card. Certainly nothing at all like cracking a game, which is pretty much software development.
Please consider informing yourself before forming strong opinions.
Just so we're clear, are you under the impression that "ROMs acquired from the Internet" represent something other than Nintendo's work?
I regret to inform you that animations are images
Nope. Nothing at all happening lately, that's why Gedaliyah, son of Akiham, son of Shaphan, is posting 7 year old news about a great power accused of genocide against its Muslim population.
How is your wife doing by the way
Agile is explicitly a way for a team to be self-organising. What benefit do you get from it as a solo developer?
