Unfortunately, this is a Nintendo lawsuit thing
Unless there’s someone to work on the actual emulation layer, yet another Yuzu fork won’t help anything.

If I had a modded Switch, wouldn’t I just fucking use that?
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.
Precisely. So why lock certain features of the emulator behind a paywall?
Thanks android authority for putting this shit on blast. Nothing like keeping this quiet
Considering they have a public website and repo on GitHub for the project, it’s not like Nintendo doesn’t know about them.
This guy is Any% speedrunning a DMCA takedown from Nintendo.
That was fast.
Get it before the authors get sued into the afterlife by Nintendo!
Good to have more, but why would we choose this over Torzu?
And what’s gonna keep this one from getting taken down by Nintendo?
Same thing that’s kept all the other emulators from being taken down: not being illegal.
What was illegal about ryujinx?
Nintendo decided it was. Nothing else, to my knowledge.
Nah, Nintendo decided to offer the dev money so he stops working on it.
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.
Was Ryujinx taken down?

it was less illegal and more the dev took money to quit it.
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.
hopefully they don’t start a patreon like the other devs.
Exactly.

Maybe it’s just me. I don’t know much about emulation or console hardware, but I find it hard to believe that the architecture of the Switch 2 would be so radically different from the Switch 1 that developers would have a significantly harder time creating an emulator for it. What would be the purpose of making radical changes?
Yuzu had been around for years before it got taken down. I’d like to see a Switch 2 emulator pop up as soon as possible, of course.

Can’t wait for the Switch 2 emulator so I don’t have to support nintendo’s bad decisions but still play games day 1.
