Nintendo’s legal team has clarified that the legality of emulators depends heavily on how they are used, as revealed in a recent statement addressing the ongoing debate around video game emulation.

    All this means is that people that are looking for emulators have to go to berg for the forks rather than git hub. Yuzu and their variants are still alive and well. Just people are not stupid enough to put their real names now. And the forks are tucked away. git is a wonderful protocol :)

      Without continued development though, new games are likely to have an increasing number of issues running on either emulator.

      Even Starlink: Battle for Atlas, the closest thing to a Star Fox game on the Switch (can’t just get another version of it, since the Star Fox DLC is Switch-exclusive), crashes in both Yuzu and Ryujinx, something I’d hoped would eventually be fixed before the emulators were taken down.

        Apologies, both have forks that are actively maintained…if you know where to look. And this is a public place, so im not going to say where. I know that sucks, but the lawyers can look anywhere…and lemmy is just as “safe” as discord like last time.

        No idea if those specific issues got fixed, but devs did fix an issue with the new paper mario somewhat recently.
