Nintendo is suing the creators of Switch emulator ...
I wonder if it would be possible to develop a Switch emulator without the ability to decrypt any games. Users would be expected to bring already-decrypted games, which they could decrypt via an "unrelated" program.

You already have to provide your own encryption keys to the emulator.

Yes, but then it (presumably) decrypts the games for you, which could violate the DMCA.
