Okay anyone have a clone they're willing to share?
Ryujinx works well, but not as well as yuzu, and doesn’t seem to be a target of takedowns
only until it becomes popular enough. Although I will say that Yuzu flew too close to the sun, not saying all the maintainers, but several of them were openly for piracy and for the latest generation stuff. That's stuff that will get you taken down immediately. Fly under the radar, keep it about older games, and usually no one cares. They started taking a bite out of switch profits though, and that wasn't good for big N
I have a full backup through a torrent.
Are you looking for clones or backups of later builds. You can find builds on torrents and mega links.
I have copies of Yuzu but at this point I have banned everything Nintendo. The main reason their stuff was emulated was because players loved the games and wanted to preserve them. Nintendo's litigiousness has been a tremendous turnoff.
Fuck Nintendo. Not even if pirated.
Support indie devs.
Nintendo is going to be the company that makes or breaks the legitimacy of the DMCA. If it wasn't for the DMCA they wouldn't have a leg to stand on as they've lost in court several times before.
Honestly I think they're going to start having problems in places like Europe if Nintendo can be classified as a "gatekeeper" on their locked down hardware.
I wonder what the suyu folks are saying, might be worth looking at their linked comment in the article ^_^
