Unless there's someone to work on the actual emulation layer, yet another Yuzu fork won't help anything.

Since then, Citron has focused more on closing its community, requiring users to prove they have a modded Switch to unlock certain features.

Unfortunately, this is a Nintendo lawsuit thing

[-] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 60 points 1 year ago

Thanks android authority for putting this shit on blast. Nothing like keeping this quiet

[-] alehel@lemmy.zip 24 points 11 months ago

Considering they have a public website and repo on GitHub for the project, it's not like Nintendo doesn't know about them.

[-] SuperSpruce@lemmy.zip 4 points 11 months ago

The download link returns a 404, is it already down?

[-] alehel@lemmy.zip 2 points 11 months ago

I think it's all a placeholder still. Blogs missing for instance.

And what's gonna keep this one from getting taken down by Nintendo?

[-] rivan@lemm.ee 39 points 1 year ago

The time needed to build a lawsuit, usually about six to ten months

[-] Beacon@fedia.io 19 points 1 year ago

I would guess that it would be forced to be taken down immediately, and then litigation would determine whether it can be put back up.

[-] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Unlike Ryujinx they should try to have redundancies in case of Team members leaving and be willing to boot and ostracize members who attempt to sabotage the project. The other piece would be to either develop from regions where Nintendo has no legal leverage, or try to stay safe with cleanroom and PR techniques (losing battle since the USA is crooked when it comes to IP and freedom).

Also hey it's the other NEO of Lemmy.

[-] theangriestbird@beehaw.org 16 points 1 year ago

hopefully they don't start a patreon like the other devs.

[-] IllNess@infosec.pub 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Is there a Patreon with crypto? Lol

Same thing that's kept all the other emulators from being taken down: not being illegal.

[-] maxprime@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

What was illegal about ryujinx?

[-] DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 year ago

Nintendo decided it was. Nothing else, to my knowledge.

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 8 points 11 months ago

Nah, Nintendo decided to offer the dev money so he stops working on it.

[-] DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago

True but I dare say it was quickly followed with an "or else". We do know about Nintendo's mafia, after all so only offering the nice hand feels very off.

[-] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 year ago

it was less illegal and more the dev took money to quit it.

Get it before the authors get sued into the afterlife by Nintendo!

This guy is Any% speedrunning a DMCA takedown from Nintendo.

[-] alehel@lemmy.zip 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Seems they're self hosting their gir repo. So a DMCA is going to be a lot harder for Nintendo.

[-] DieserTypMatthias@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

If they host the instance on some VPS, then it is possible.

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

That was fast.

If I had a modded Switch, wouldn't I just fucking use that?

[-] Stez827@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Maybe you want higher resolution or higher frame rates than the switch can do

[-] Goretantath@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

I have an unpatchable switch 1, its shit compared to running the games on PC in higher res at 60fps. Also the battery life sucks ass so I can't play on the go for long enough.

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Precisely. So why lock certain features of the emulator behind a paywall?

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 7 points 1 year ago
[-] DFX4509B_2@lemmy.org 2 points 11 months ago

And it'll be nuked the moment it announces its existence publicly.
