For a company that tries to portray such a fun customer centric family friendly exterior they really do pull of the most absolute scum shit moves on a regular basis

emulators are legal though. as long as they aren’t using code nintendo made. anyone is allowed to make a thing that does what a switch does, if it doesn’t involve stealing

As someone who uses Yuzu I fully support this.
Emulators should be banned until the console is no longer being sold; they primarily exist to enable piracy in this state. Just play the purchased game on your purchased console; you don’t need to do so on a computer to enjoy it.

Honestly , what did they think was going to happen?

surprised it didn’t happen sooner tbh, i know people are like “mah games i want to play Zelda for free” but really i don’t know how anyone can justify emulating games that are still in stores they should be paying for, literal theft from an artist.

Cool so I need to secure the most stable version of Yuzu and make sure I don’t delete it. Got my Totk and Botw roms backed up too.
Fuck Nintendo and their archaic way of life.Bootlickers sure do love their hole being widened by Nintendo tho.

Reminder that it’s morally okay to fuck over Nintendo and pirate their games.

well shit, was only a matter of time

While this seems to be big news and everyone is on Nintendo for suing, I do wonder how many people who use Yuzu legitimately own the games they are emulating.

As someone Who defends that you can emulate games that arent being sold anymore from consoles no longer supported by the companies this isnt surprising to me
Pirating games even before the official release date isnt Caring about “preservation” is just being a plain old cheapass and stealing

Is there a guide for Yuzu emulator ?

One thing I do think is it should be illegal to make system proprietary based software and protect it.
At very least emulators should be fully legal to use your purchased game however you want!

Charging money is usually what gets them in trouble. Ryujinx is probably harder to take down

on one hand, a company has a right to protect its property
on the other hand, fuck nintendo

Damn, this was the only way to play games at 4K and I own a switch.

Embarrassing for Nintendo, decryption itself is not illegal and I’m starting to doubt Nintendo’s lawyers even have law degrees. Also if its open source, it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks or does, good luck killing it.

The point is to litigate them into bankruptcy and to this end they will succeed

I get what they’re doing and understand… but fuck Nintendo either way.

Thank God I pirated my switch, fuck nintendo

It has to be because they ran a Patreon page, right? Even though, the emulator is free, they still put experimental emulators behind a paywall. They damn near make $30k monthly, according to their Patreon page, so I feel like that alone fucked them over.

Nintendo never learns. First Nintendo came for AMR2 and got burned! Now they come for Yuzu. Let’s watch them get burned again.

git clone [https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu.git](https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu.git)
Everyone should have their own copy while they can get it.
Welp, here is hoping Yuzu didn’t do dumb shit and only developed the emulator and isn’t distributing any images / roms / bioses / keys.
Emulator’s aren’t illegal, plenty of precedence already exists in regards to this.
It’s open source. A single git clone and anonymous developers can continue the mission. Aren’t they just creating more pirates by drawing attention?
This is what happens when your console plays games at 30 fps, and the free version on pc is 4k/60.
It’s a good thing ryujinx is more stable anyways.
No issue, I am using ryunjinx.
Jokes aside, I believe emulators are grey areas and have seen an emulator successfully sued to shut down.
nintendo tries not to fuck over their fans over every little thing (impossible)
They also investigated the Palworld also lol
Yuzu flew too close to the sun. Emulation was better when it wasn’t attention seeking.
