The primary source for legal precedent is Sony vs Bleem.

I mean, small developers

Just like you told your girlfriend the other night, size doesn't matter

who set up a money-making pateron based on an emulator for a currently sold system,

Bleem was a commercial product to emulate Sony Playstations that came out while the PS1 was still active.

without providing a way to pull your own system info or games from carts (and is therefore heavily reliant on piracy of things currently being sold by the parent company to run)

As long as they aren't giving details on how to rip the games (which, funny enough, would be the dumper) they are in the same grey zone as system BIOSes and the like

is basically screwed, but this isn’t news, and pretty much every other emu dev would run away screaming from such a setup.

There are other nintendo switch emulators. And emulators like RPCS3 very much were active while their target consoles were actively sold.
