notes: |
  Eden is a standalone Nintendo Switch emulator, community fork of yuzu by Camille LaVey.
  dev.keys can be used instead of prod.keys when use_dev_keys is enabled (for Switch dev units).
  Firmware (system NCAs) must be installed through Eden's UI from a firmware ZIP or NCA folder.
  Required for commercial games. Homebrew (.nro, .nso) can run without keys or firmware.
