I think except germany? In germany you are allowed to do everything with your devices because you own it.

you aren't, bypassing DRM is always illegal. Using others' tools to bypass DRM may be legal, just like downloading copyrighted content may be legal.

While it is always illegal. In germany, when I own a game or video or whatever. Even console and I own the games. I can remove the DRM for myself but are not allowed to distribute them. Only for my own purpose. So Yuzu and putting games from my Switch to PC should br legal in Germany
