So better get it fast before Nintendo kills the thing or is there a special reason this will be ignored by them?

Nintendo really does not have any legal basis to be able to kill it. Not a single asset is made by Nintendo. But then again it should be the same with emulators, but they still managed to do that again just a short while ago. https://www.xda-developers.com/nintendo-reportedly-takes-down-400-switch-emulators-massive-github-purge/
But I think this is mostly because Microsoft just does not care, and if a big company comes knocking they are siding with them to get it over with instead of locking what exactly the legalities are.

Ah, makes sense.
Did you get wheelwizard to work on Linux?
I just downloaded it from flathub, have the rmcp01 but wheelwizard tells me to point to Dolphin.exe.
I downloaded retroarch for the dolphin core assuming I will find the dolphin.exe in .config/retroarch but no dice.
As I understand exe is a windows fileformat. So do I download the dolphin emu for windows and point ww at that? Or is there an option to get it trough a package manager?
Sorry for asking if you have no clue what I talk about.

Yea I got it to work. (Not the wiicompiled part though)
I have downloaded both wheelwizard as well as dolphin through flathub. Dolphin even provided their own flathub repository which I used. https://dolphin-emu.org/download/?ref=btn#flatpak
With flathub its a bit weird as it lives inside a container in the .var folder. But luckily WW found the path for me so I did not have to look it up myself.
Im not sure if it told me to find the .exe as well, but it would really weird if did. I can look up the path later.
Depending on your distro you can also use the package manager on debian/ubuntu its called dolphin-emu
I did not get the decompilation to work though i have read that there should be an option under some kind of “experimental” category but did not find anything like that and looking through the sources it seems like its hidden away for now. I did notice that Wiicompiled got a linux release today just some hours ago! https://github.com/patchzyy/Wiicompiled/releases/tag/v0.2.26 I will try that later.
