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

        only until it becomes popular enough. Although I will say that Yuzu flew too close to the sun, not saying all the maintainers, but several of them were openly for piracy and for the latest generation stuff. That’s stuff that will get you taken down immediately. Fly under the radar, keep it about older games, and usually no one cares. They started taking a bite out of switch profits though, and that wasn’t good for big N

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

        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

        Unfortunately true. The majority of people do not have enough of a spine, or simply don't even care. That's why the market gets shittier and shittier each year for the past couple decades.

      No, tell them to buy a Playstation instead. They are direct competitors and will be super fucking annoyed by that.

        Steam deck is probably the best alternative.

        Sony is customer-hostile shit too, though. I’ve been boycotting them for literally decades now.

      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 is probably a lot less than what some people here are hoping for.

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

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

    Another reason to not use GitHub.
