Nintendo sues Switch emulator Yuzu for ‘facilitating piracy at a colossal scale’
Will developers give up or go to court?
You're viewing a single thread.
Oh shit, there's a working open source switch emulator out there? Thanks Nintendo!
Aaaaaaaand downloaded the source code, Windows Installer, and Linux installer. Thanks again Nintendo, I really can't express how thankful I am you brought attention to this!
Wanna hear something funny? It works on steam deck
And not just works. It works REALLY WELL. I dumped my switch onto my steam deck and sold it ages ago.
Yup. Steam Deck is literally the Switch 2.0 at this point. Upscaled graphics, better frame rates, modding capability, etc…
I wouldn't say that's a universal truth. Some games perform like shit on Yuzu and others that simply aren't stable. Yuzu is pretty damn good, but I've run into plenty of situations where graphics have lots of glitches, I'm crashing every 20-30 minutes due to a memory leak, etc. E.g. SMTV is one I recently opted to just play on my Switch natively because I got tired of random freezes after battles.
Forgot to mention: controls that don't suck
You can mod on switch, modding isn’t an advantage
That’s why Nintenfux is suing. They have no other way to be competitive in mobile gaming now.
Can you pair 4 joycons to it too?
It works on Switch as well if you install linux then install it. But performance makes that not worth it
Go fork it it's FOSS anyways
Forks get deleted when and if it comes so far
Not if you "fork" it locally by doing
git clone --mirrorand doinggit push newOrigin --mirror😉And refactor the code a bit to be on the safe side - change the name of the project and remove any references to litigious companies. And use an anonymous handle + VPN/proxy chains so they can't sue you.
Honestly it boggles my mind that devs contribute to emulators like these using identifiable names and traceable IPs, when everyone knows how these greedy corporations operate. Did no one learn anything from the Sony vs Geohotz case, or all the subsequent takedown against emulators? Why do these devs keep falling into the same trap again and again?
Because anonymous, but performant, network infrastructure is hard to configure (for non-experts).
Not if you fork locally or outside Github.
Surprise! Yes, there's lots more Git outside Github. As one commenter said, Github is to Git what Pornhub is to porn.
What does this sentence mean? No one can reach into your computer and delete data.
There are two that work pretty well. Yuzu and Ryujinx. A while ago some games only worked on one or the other. Thanks to open source they both improved dramatically.
Same yo. I would have never found it, now I'm downloading a game.
Any good torrent sites for switch games you know of?
