It's-a-me, Rario!
nintendo got L + Rario'd
I love when this shit happens and it's like oh, not the one I know about that literally has torrents bundling single games on pc to one click run the games lol
I was considering a Switch 2 but now... not so much.
Just wait until an emulator for switch 2. Then don't buy it.
Nintendo succeeded in killing Yuzu because they had decryption keys which Nintendo could argue is breaking their copy protection, which is why they settled for 2.4 million dollars in sales damages because they knew they wouldn't be able to win in court.
All of these forks have since removed the key and require the user to supply it (legally from your own console).
So in theory they should be protected under US law since emulation and reverse engineering is completely legal.
However
Nintendo also has infinite money to throw at the problem, and FOSS devs are usually not willing to deal with insane amount of personal liability because of a hobby, which is how they killed Ryujinx.
So you better hold onto your guts if you plan to fight Nintendo.
Or move to i2p so they can't disable you lol.
You needed to acquire encryption keys for both Ryujinx and Yuzu.
Yuzu just requested money and put features behind a donator paywall
I thought Yuzu also didn't include the keys. They had instructions on how you could copy them from a device you owned. Or was that something different?
The emulator didn't, but I think they had one somewhere in their git history or website.
I forgot now, but I vaguely remember Nintendo pointing out a specific key that was found under the parent company's assets.
Could be wrong though, maybe they really did just get screwed over
which is how they killed Ryujinx.
Plus sending goons to his house.
Allegedly.
pokemon cards alone accounts for billions in profit/revenue. they have plenty of money.
Meh, emulate it and get better frame rates and higher resolution.
Why would I buy a console that plays the game at an inferior state?
Nintendo is free at any time to release their games on Steam or even their own PC storefront and if I could play it with my hardware then I'd buy most games at full price.
Until then, nah I'm good.
God I would play all the Zelda games I missed not hassling with their consoles if they put them on Steam. Last Nintendo Console I owned was Wii.
Agree, as long as we are forced to bullshit, I'll just keep my hands dirty.
I never thought to emulate the switch until they killed the first emulator. Now I download the latest emu and roms nearly every month. Fuck Nintendo.
Yeah me too, i used to stick to the classics, gba and all but after they took down yuzu and eden became a thing i started using it
Open source is hard to kill off forever. Someone, somewhere is gonna have the repo.

Eden's primary git repo is self-hosted. This doesn't affect them at all.
Nintendo's lawyers have reach beyond github. They only need to chat with your hosting company or nameserver.
There are hosts and nameservers located in countries that don't give a fuck about companies like Nintendo.
In fact, the recent backlash about everything being hosted in the US has started to make this even easier as companies in other countries are stepping in to grab market share as companies look to flee US hosting.
Now that, im excited about 100%
Sure, but since the project itself is not illegal, they could just keep mirroring it and even throw it up on a .onion site or an I2P eepsite.

I mean Nintendo could always lower games prices, add the features you get from emulators, and make the experience vastly superior on the console, then these emulators would be far less relevant.
No, I'm sure they will just keep killing better options and charging their consumers as much as humanly possible without having to innovate their products.
