Hey there, I've added support for booting Ancast images in dolphin.
Those images are used on the Wii U to boot PPC code on it's Espresso, and titles like the vWii System Menu come in form of an Ancast image.

The only issue is that these images are AES encrypted with the so called Ancast key and IV. This key has been extracted from the Espresso bootROM.
I would like to make a PR for Ancast support, but I'm currently just storing the key in the code and I'm not sure if that's okay with dolphin's "code policy".

I've seen some other places where keys are bundled with the code (for example in IOSC), so I'm wondering if this is fine for the Ancast keys as well.

I suppose so.
