MODERATORS
IANAL, but they should be fine since they aren't decrypting / breaking DRM they same way Yuzu was. They are a much cleaner codebase, much more similar to mGBA and Dolphin.
But did yuzu actually break DRM? I thought that if I dumped my own game and keys with a modded (1st gen) switch and feed all of that into yuzu, nothing illegal would be going on.
I don't believe Yuzu went to court, but that was the accusation Nintendo was suing them over. Ryujinx wasn't sued, so Nintendo either didn't believe they had done the same, or didn't care. We didn't get to have a discovery process for the case to find out for sure, so we don't know.
Ryujinx is nowhere near as popular as Yuzu, so that probably has a lot to do with it.
It's also possible that they wouldn't win against Ryujinx. There's evidence of Yuzu devs sharing roms with each other to test out games, so it's possible that they settled to avoid discovery.
