Citra will also be shutting down :(
This sucks hard. They likely knew they could not overcome Nintendo’s infinite money for legal proceedings, and if they lost they could have been on the hook for far more than this settlement amount.
The upside is this has no legal impact, but the downside is they were the best-positioned group to take this to trial.
Now Nintendo is going to start going after the smaller guys, who definitely can’t afford to fight.
@t3rmit3 @chloyster The message is clear: Do not touch anything Nintendo.
For me that includes games as well. Greedy §$"%!$
Yep, I’m not getting any Nintendo systems or games, but I will continue to enjoy fan-made ROM-hack games, played on emulators. :)
Nintendon’t get any more of my money.
Yeah home-brew seemed like the obvious point at this for the whole “only used for pirating” argument.
I have switch emulators for older/other consoles… homebrew projects definitely exist. I think Yuzu just didn’t want to fight the fight. They likely had/have some really good arguments to put Nintendo down…
Now Nintendo is going to start going after the smaller guys, who definitely can’t afford to fight.
The plus side is Ryujinx is Free Open Source Software so a million forks can begun being made right now. Yuzu had closed source aspects, which was its downfall in replication from this point forward. Ryujinx will likely have thousands of clone repositories made after today alone.
Speaking of, here’s a full backup of the Ryujinx repo, including commit history.
I’m so mad that Citra was also killed because of this. This means that 3DS emulation is effectively dead, since the next best emulator, Panda3DS, can’t run most games…
Get a copy of it now. There may not be more development on it, but you’ll be able to keep playing the games that work already on it
Is there any repository that was saved of the latest build? It was pulled off flathub and github…
This is the first mention I’ve seen of Citra also shutting down…
Fucking hell… Makes sense though, they earned 30k a year, 200k ain’t enough to challenge the bankroll potential of Nintendo.
this is beyond awful, especially to us with broken switches who want to play the games we own in these times, and everyone who can’t/ won’t afford their shit.
This is the bullshit that deserves shouting and death threats, not people making a subpar decision for a game or a bad one.
Well this isn’t the news I wanted to hear from this…
