I've said it before and I'll say it again: Fuck Nintendo.

It's-a-me, Rario!
nintendo got L + Rario'd
Legendary ratio.
Oh you're using the comma as a decimal point... Still pretty good.
fun fact, most of the globe uses comma, anglophone sphere and china are the few ones using period for it
I got so used to using periods that I had to specify that I was using period as a decimal seperator in math exercises because here where I live it is uses comma
I love when this shit happens and it's like oh, not the one I know about that literally has torrents bundling single games on pc to one click run the games lol
Open source is hard to kill off forever. Someone, somewhere is gonna have the repo.
Getting it off GitHub is usually enough to effectively kill it.
Naa most projects are still fine off github. Theres a couple of emus that are now officially off gh and they are still being worked on.
Self-hosted gits in a country that doesn't care are becoming popular.
I personally got ahold of the final version of the source code to Ryujinx after it was pulled from GitHub and put it on archive.org and I'm literally a random nobody who had nothing to do with the project so you are very incorrect. It was almost immediately picked up by other developers and is still seeing development to this day
This won't fix your slumping sales Nintendo
I never thought to emulate the switch until they killed the first emulator. Now I download the latest emu and roms nearly every month. Fuck Nintendo.
Nintendo succeeded in killing Yuzu because they had decryption keys which Nintendo could argue is breaking their copy protection, which is why they settled for 2.4 million dollars in sales damages because they knew they wouldn't be able to win in court.
All of these forks have since removed the key and require the user to supply it (legally from your own console).
So in theory they should be protected under US law since emulation and reverse engineering is completely legal.
However
Nintendo also has infinite money to throw at the problem, and FOSS devs are usually not willing to deal with insane amount of personal liability because of a hobby, which is how they killed Ryujinx.
So you better hold onto your guts if you plan to fight Nintendo.
Or move to i2p so they can't disable you lol.

Was not it also because they have their Patreons subscribers things such as early access to leaked games?
From the article;
Nintendo's suit also claims Yuzu's Patreon page allows its developers to earn 30,000 a month by providing subscribers with "daily updates," "early access," and "special unreleased features" to games like Tears of the Kingdom by circumventing the protective measures Nintendo has in place to prevent piracy of video games.
I despise Nintendo but if this claim was true, they were earning money with pirated content, right?
You needed to acquire encryption keys for both Ryujinx and Yuzu.
Yuzu just requested money and put features behind a donator paywall
which is how they killed Ryujinx.
Plus sending goons to his house.
Allegedly.
Meh, emulate it and get better frame rates and higher resolution.
Why would I buy a console that plays the game at an inferior state?
Nintendo is free at any time to release their games on Steam or even their own PC storefront and if I could play it with my hardware then I'd buy most games at full price.
Until then, nah I'm good.
God I would play all the Zelda games I missed not hassling with their consoles if they put them on Steam. Last Nintendo Console I owned was Wii.
Agree, as long as we are forced to bullshit, I'll just keep my hands dirty.
Eden's primary git repo is self-hosted. This doesn't affect them at all.
Nintendo's lawyers have reach beyond github. They only need to chat with your hosting company or nameserver.
There are hosts and nameservers located in countries that don't give a fuck about companies like Nintendo.
In fact, the recent backlash about everything being hosted in the US has started to make this even easier as companies in other countries are stepping in to grab market share as companies look to flee US hosting.
Sure, but since the project itself is not illegal, they could just keep mirroring it and even throw it up on a .onion site or an I2P eepsite.
I was considering a Switch 2 but now... not so much.
Just wait until an emulator for switch 2. Then don't buy it.
I mean Nintendo could always lower games prices, add the features you get from emulators, and make the experience vastly superior on the console, then these emulators would be far less relevant.
No, I'm sure they will just keep killing better options and charging their consumers as much as humanly possible without having to innovate their products.
It's a meaningless battle.
It's crazy to watch a company burn a lifetime of good will in just a few years of chasing copyright litigation.
They're selling $80 games with no problems so it seems to be working out for them.
Sony v. connectix and Sony v. bleem both established that emulation is legal. Nintendo can fuck off.
