And how exactly do they intend to detect or prevent emulation?

As of right now, it seems like the only way they can detect a hacked Switch is if its user goes online for a game in the emuNAND. I don’t think there is a way for them to detect emulating on PC, unless you’re like that streamer who publicly flouted Nintendo’s cease and desists
