I don't really get what's happening. Why now and not 10 years ago?
Previously people would say it wasn't pursued before because emulation itself is just reverse engineering, which is legal.
i think it's because the next console is coming out next year and they want to discourage anyone from trying to crack it
they didn't win a court case, nintendo just threatened to sue and settled on the condition that yuzu (and citra through yuzu) be shut down and pay like 2 million dollars. if nintendo thought they could win they wouldn't have settled, they would have pushed through and won and permanently rendered emulators illegal. but they couldn't do that, so they'll just try and scare everyone off from doing anythign
Makes sense, I guess. Fuck Nintendo.
They're both open source projects. So it will be interesting how much time they'll spend playing whackamole. Either way, it will chill development bc at the very least the main devs will probably not go back. Sad.
Citra going down really hurts because CTGP-7 is such a great project, and I feel like this is going to chill big projects too.
The CTGP-7 devs posted their fork right after posting the news. I don't think this will stop them.
But yes, I also worry about other projects.
Hell yeah. Good news. Hoping for 1.5.
