Yuzu is a shitty emukator with even more shitty devs who were very much selling piracy and I am some what happy its gone
NOTE I am not happy about nintendos legal bitchery just yuzus demise NOTE 2: edited out menion of the poor emulation quality
Yuzu had this coming they SOLD a version of their emulator which could run totk 2 WEEKS before release and considering yuzu they most defently deliberatly added in support for totk for more money
Yuzu devs are also horrible they steal code are hypocritical and put the whole emulation and modding community at risk what if nintendo went after ryujinx after all of this because yuzu prevokes them and wins? what happens to emulation? what happens to modding tools mentioned?

Use ryujinx :3

I have no idea what you’re talking about
This doesn’t feel like communication so much as it feels like someone accidentally hitting Send after emotion-barfing all over their keyboard without ever intending another human to see it
I am not to good with words and language and shit but basically
Yuzu is gone which is good because they are putting the emulation and modding community at risk and have been for a long time actually
I am NOT on nintendos side I just dont like scum bag devs putting things I love at risk
I can tell this is going well for you even without downvotes federated to my instance. There might not have been an actual court case, but Yuzu just got pulled for offering a way to break the switch’s encryption keys, not just because they profited. It pretty directly implicates Ryujinx and any other emulator that could show up just by the nature of the settlement.
It also effectively killed off the only reliable 3DS emulator. Sure Yuzu and Citra are gone, but Panda3ds (the only other 3ds emulator with compatibility even close to Citra’s) is also screwed over because it relied on the same ARM translation layer that Citra/Yuzu used. Forks might show up, but quite frankly I doubt any of them will be seriously maintained because of the crazy complexity required to make an emulator along with the newly established risk of doing so. This isn’t another Tachiyomi situation where a bunch of forks will pop up immediately.
this sounds like the most fanboy pilled post. seriously its just an emulator, i dont even thing thr main userbases of ryujinx and yuzu are antagonistic against each other, as each had a completely different philosophy on what to prioritize.
take for example, intel and amd users couldnt use ryujinx for the longest time because it took ages for ryujinx to pick up the vulkan backend, defaulting to opengl, which only nvidia until the past few years, performed well in.
I dont even use ryujinx my PC cant run it lmao
Didn’t use so not super invested but damn that’s some run on garbled word salad and, to top it off, adding a Telegram link for a very credible non-suspect source? Try a take two there…
Fixed the link dw bestie :3
Was a Lemmy post shitting on Yuzu part of the settlement with Nintendo?
legal action from a giant shitty corporation that steps on our rights to preserve access to our purchases is never a W. grow up.
But the thing is yuzu was activley HURTING the community and putting it at risk
Say more about that
Yuzu being so shady beind the scenes causes nintendo to take serious legal action against emulation and modding more so then before which is obviously VERY bad
Imagine if they fought the case they would 100% loose and then major aspects of emulation such as decrypting games becomes illegal
Nintendo was going to take legal action regardless. Get real. Yuzu allowed bypassing the Switch’s security so Nintendo filed a DMCA claim, just like they did when Dolphin got put on Steam. Nintendo is the most litigious company in history. Just ask the developers of Pokemon Uranium, or AM2R, or the C64 port of Super Mario Bros. None of those things impacted Nintendo’s revenue. Why do you think they’d hesitate to sue the developers of an emulator for a console they currently sell games for?
Also what “shady behind the scenes”?
op is being extremely annoying but theres some truth to what theyre saying, yuzu was releasing updates to patreon that allowed playing of leaked games (like totk) which even for me is scummy and reason for action.
they harvested money off of what isn’t theirs, past just paying the devs for their work
I was pretty sure that the updates were only a week ahead on patreon. Its not like they were going never release the patched emu.
the problem is releasing the patch for the game that hasnt come out yet, exclusively to people paying, then advertising you can play that game before its even out. that just screams lawsuit and it really is on them
trust me, i fucking hate nintendo but i cant help but side with them here. its towing the line of fair use in emulation way past where its safe
dolphin uses secret numbers they arent allowed to distribute, that doesnt mean we shouldn’t support dilphin. not everything thats good is totally 100% good, life is complicated. emulation is simple, and should be protected on the merits that nintendo is attacking it.
Yeah but dolphin isnt targetting their fancy new consoles and thats all dolphin does
Yuzu sells piracy dolphin does not yuzu provides a very bad example in court by oprnly admitting to pirating to games develop the emulator dolphin does not etc
I agree that Yuzu did things like sell piracy, which put them squarely on Nintendo’s Ninja Radar. It’s unfortunate that they’re so litigious, even for projects not intended to make money.
But, like, calm down man.
Fuck nintendo with a rhino horn. That is all.
L take
It supported totk early cause the emulator worked? They made no specific patches to the emulator before it was released, and didnt even need to then because everything already worked.
Anything else is just Nintendo propaganda, cause all this wasn’t even early access - it was available in the free tier
No they did fix the emulator to play the game before release but it patreon only which is why nintendo has a strong case
Yuzu did no such thing. There were third party fixes but Yuzu didn’t implement anything until the game released.
You got a pull release for that? Cause it’d be some real sneaky work considering they didnt even allow talking about it in the discord
Well the github was taken down and idk if the patreon builds have their own seperate github where they pushed the update to before pushing it public on release date maybe some archive exists? I will have to check
But as some body who spends hours and hours in the modding and emulation community I know it did happen
“Trust me bro”
ok hear me out. What if piracy was ok and we didn’t need to base our moral compasses on american law?
I never said I was anti piracy I thinks its good in most cases fuck US law!!!
Just selling piracy makes nintendo more angry at the community putting it in more danger
I don’t see it this way, Yuzu didn’t sell pirated games like for example empress does. It is just an emulator and nintendo(the rich) owns the law
Yuzu was selling a version to play totk 2 weeks before release like they are making money off the act of piracy and that WILL put them on nintendos kill list for sure
yea ur right about that
A lot of teams behind emulation, game modding and FOSS software have their fair share of controversy. I think it comes with the territory of having public communities and a dev structure where strangers can often get involved and contribute. I don’t really blame developers for wanting compensation for their work, but sounds like they went about it in a poor way. Also the TOTK situation was a very bad decision and likely sealed their fate.
Still, IP Protection laws in the United States serve exclusively corporate interests. I don’t celebrate this; it is actively harming the rights of consumers. Corporations constantly steal from consumers, profiting off of our data and standing on the backs of workers.
And piracy is a service issue. If you don’t have fair prices for games and methods of access for people to play the way they want to, you will have piracy. Also for people who can’t afford the prices, piracy will happen.
I belive there is no issue with gwtting money for your work nor do I belive is piracy is based
But the issue here is selling piracy which they were deliberatly doing with totk and just playing with fire that has the potentcial to damage the entire communnity
Find ways to monitize which wont put emulation and modding at risk
I am NOT on nintendos side here I am just happy yuzu wont be a threat to the entire community for much longer
Citra got caught in the crosshairs too.
At keast it will cause other emulators to rise up :3
There are no other 3DS emulators to rise up. Citra was the only one.
It’ll take months or years to develop a new 3DS emualtor. This is a huge blow to video game preservation.
Why on Earth do you think that?
“Ah yes Nintendo is on a suing spree let me draw attention to my emulator”
Nessesity causes inovation
Who wants to get sued? Why would a Dev put themselves at risk developing an emulator in their free time to then have their income slashed in a legal battle for said new emulator.
This sucks as a take. Why would you celebrate downward class violence based only on moral impurity? Why would you celebrate Nintendo coming close to making emulation work illegal.
The fact is that there is no video game archive that comes close to completion than the distributed one. And to whine over pirates makes you a fool. It’s not even stealing, it’s breaking the same law as a child drawing modern Mickey mouse on their pencil case. It’s ideas monopolised and then enforced through economic violence towards poorer people. I don’t want a world where your values you expressed here are upheld consistently, that sounds like hell.
I am PRO piracy I HATE mega corporations and am NOT on nintendos side
But yuzu was actively putting emulation in risk by being shady af and playing with fire
