Ryujinx works well, but not as well as yuzu, and doesn’t seem to be a target of takedowns

I have a full backup through a torrent.

Are you looking for clones or backups of later builds. You can find builds on torrents and mega links.

I have copies of Yuzu but at this point I have banned everything Nintendo. The main reason their stuff was emulated was because players loved the games and wanted to preserve them. Nintendo's litigiousness has been a tremendous turnoff.

Fuck Nintendo. Not even if pirated.

Support indie devs.

Nintendo is going to be the company that makes or breaks the legitimacy of the DMCA. If it wasn't for the DMCA they wouldn't have a leg to stand on as they've lost in court several times before.

Honestly I think they're going to start having problems in places like Europe if Nintendo can be classified as a "gatekeeper" on their locked down hardware.

I wonder what the suyu folks are saying, might be worth looking at their linked comment in the article ^_^

Alright everybody, let's make the Switch 2 the next WiiU.

No purchases, no recommendations to relatives. If anyone you know asks if you think they should get one for their kids for Christmas: nah it's basically just the switch but WAY more expensive.

Historically video games boycotts do not work

I remember the Hogwarts Legacy one, oof.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I remember Modern Warfare 2 boycott of 2009. That was one of the biggest shit shows you could imagine.

Lol chop a head off and 5 will spring up in it's place

If the current maintainers' efforts are now spread across 5x uncoordinated repositories, and compatibility is disrupted for new titles as a result, then it's a success for Nintendo. Keeping copies around is trivial, sure, but the number of people who actually know what to do with that code AND are willing to wade into the copyright battleground is probably a lot less than what some people here are hoping for.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Surely this time will be the last they hear of Yuzu, right?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Yeah i think this is officially out of Nintendo's hands.

Another reason to not use GitHub.
