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

Rikudou_SageUnless there's someone to work on the actual emulation layer, yet another Yuzu fork won't help anything.
Altima NEOAnd what's gonna keep this one from getting taken down by Nintendo?
The time needed to build a lawsuit, usually about six to ten months
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 NEOUnlike 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.
coyotino [he/him]hopefully they don't start a patreon like the other devs.
UlrichSame 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?

Well I suppose you also need to be prepared for intimidation and self-hostable Github

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.

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

RedSnt 🧩♂️👓🖥️Get it before the authors get sued into the afterlife by Nintendo!
MattThis guy is Any% speedrunning a DMCA takedown from Nintendo.
Seems they're self hosting their gir repo. So a DMCA is going to be a lot harder for Nintendo.

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

My dear lemmings. Remember there were exactly two reputable Switch emulators. Yuzu and Ryujinx. Both got shut down by the big N in one way or another. I'm sorry but everything since then was based on the work of the prior mentionend projects without major improvements but was filled with shitty drama. Wait it out. Thats my take. There might be a real alternative on the horizon. But so far all of them just burned out in the stupidestest way possible.
Announcing it's launch in advance seems like a good way to make Nintendo shut it down in time...
is android authority a honeypot or something why would they publicise this

Just fork it immediately
