I’m not daft mate, I have been in the scene long enough to know what to share and what not to.

What I can’t accept is that an emulator essentially requires the console to function....

I will figure it out.

Not true. Many emulators (at least a lot of the more accurate ones) require something like a bios dump, which to get legally requires owning the system. So no this isn't a new concept to the emulation scene, especially with an emulator that is this young.

I did mention BIOS a few posts back.

FWIW I got what I needed today and it only requires prod keys to run, nothing more.

Saying that this isn't a new concept isn't true either if it keeps this way. The question isn't about legal or not. Previous emulators, even if they required bios didn't require specific infos like DROPINFO and specific bios key, didn't they ? If Yuzu keeps this way, despite having such a cool development, it won't fulfill what emulators actually do in reality, which is using them with no need to use your owned system to make it work because there were a sharing system of bios, legal or not.

It's true to say that in the legal way, that doesn't change anything, but in an objective way, it does. However i agree about the emulator being young, i absolutely have no idea if this will keep this way.

pokemon let's go is playable?
Semi-Playable. Emulator crashes or freeze at the very beginning where you name your character. Only way you proceed is a use of a save file. This is like Pokemon ORAS all over again.
Do note that it uses the Switch's software keyboard and not Pokemon's own keyboard like in past Pokemon titles.

This is the system's software keyboard:

I don't think someone tried dumping the rest of the NAND and install the Switch's software keyboard in. But I'm sure it won't work, much like Citra's issue on selecting a Mii in games that requires a Mii to play(Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, or Smash Bros 3DS).

You need a save, and then after that there's text issues + naming issues like you can't name your trainer or rename your caught Pokemon (keyboard thing too) and it crashes whenever a Pokemon is defeated, but performance is actually really good for "day 1" emulation. Oh, and some animations in battle don't appear but they work regardless.
