but can't emulation emulate the denuvo?
Denuvo phones home constantly. Unless denuvo is removed from the game, the game won't be playable unless it was legitimately purchased and can be verified on denuvo's servers.
Furthermore denuvo encrypts the game files and the denuvo files and scrambles them all together, like mixing two jars of sand from different beaches, but the denuvo sand pieces know where everything is, so the game and copy protections still work.
So it's hard to remove.
Best explanation ive ever read. thanks
I wonder if an emulator that breaks DRM could be considered illegal. I would imagine that emu teams would tread carefully around this sort of thing to avoid litigation.
