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.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 5 points 2 weeks ago

Exactly.

Is there a Patreon with crypto? Lol

Same thing that's kept all the other emulators from being taken down: not being illegal.

[–] maxprime@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

What was illegal about ryujinx?

[–] DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nintendo decided it was. Nothing else, to my knowledge.

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nah, Nintendo decided to offer the dev money so he stops working on it.

[–] DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 weeks ago

it was less illegal and more the dev took money to quit it.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Was Ryujinx taken down?

[–] ddash@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I got it via Emudeck and just a few days ago got another update. So I guess... No?

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's probably the GreenDev fork

[–] ddash@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

Totally possible, I am not very deep into Switch emulator lore.

[–] yozul@beehaw.org 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sort of. Nintendo's lawyers showed up at the house of the lead dev and he nuked everything he had access to afterwards, which is all we really know, but unlike Yuzu there were no court filings or takedowns or anything. Forks of Ryujinx are still just up on Github.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

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

[–] yozul@beehaw.org 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

The actual answer to that question is that the Switch 2 will be out soon. Nintendo doesn't actually want to go to court over emulators, because there's a real chance they lose. They were willing to push the devs with Switch emulators though, because that's the current console generation, and that REALLY pissed them off. They've basically accepted that emulators are inevitable even if they don't like it, but emulating the console they are currently releasing new games for was a step too far as far as they're concerned.

[–] ddash@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

Fair, but also the Switch 2 has some backwards compatibility to Switch games. So they may still have an interest despite Switch 2 being out to prevent games that could still be sold on Switch 2 to be emulated via this.

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.
