    Honestly, anyone that was gonna emulate switch already knew, and nintendo has all their big hitters out of the way so isn’t going to be loosing much in terms of sales to piracy at this point. they just want a chilling effect for switch 2

      Doesn’t seem like they’re gonna get the effect they were hoping for; Yuzu’s corpse isn’t even cold yet and there’s already a successor.

        Yeah, I think the ‘successors’ are still in dmca violation (at least one not sure about the other). But it’s still early days, anyway. Yuzu was successful because of the dedicated team behind it. Just setting up other repos doesn’t mean much yet. It’s gonna take months to see how things shake out.

        But you can’t deny the potential chilling effect of it all. Nintendo has shown that they will come for you.

          But they also showed with what they will come for you.
          If you outsource decryption from emulation, they can’t do it (this way) again

        All we are seeing so far is updates to the read me files let’s see how we are in a few weeks.

        It is the domain expertise that will really set things back. The citra/yuzu devs have to stay away from emulation so the new teams won’t have the same understanding and will be less effective. It is so specialized that I’m not sure how anyone can just jump in and pick it up.

        I’m rooting for them anyway. They need to let go of discord either way , matrix private chats with encryption for dev communications.

      If I had to guess the reason they’re going after yuzu so hard is that the Switch 2 is going to be architecturally identical and that you will be able to run Switch 2 games.
