And it’ll be nuked the moment it announces its existence publicly.
This guy is Any% speedrunning a DMCA takedown from Nintendo.
Since then, Citron has focused more on closing its community, requiring users to prove they have a modded Switch to unlock certain features.
If I had a modded Switch, wouldn’t I just fucking use that?

Thanks android authority for putting this shit on blast. Nothing like keeping this quiet
Considering they have a public website and repo on GitHub for the project, it’s not like Nintendo doesn’t know about them.
The download link returns a 404, is it already down?
I think it’s all a placeholder still. Blogs missing for instance.
oooh vaporwave
You were just an hour early. Dropped now: https://git.eden-emu.dev/eden-emu/eden/releases
No, not vaporware, I meant vaporwave, the asthetic.
Unless there’s someone to work on the actual emulation layer, yet another Yuzu fork won’t help anything.

Get it before the authors get sued into the afterlife by Nintendo!
And what’s gonna keep this one from getting taken down by Nintendo?
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.
The time needed to build a lawsuit, usually about six to ten months
I would guess that it would be forced to be taken down immediately, and then litigation would determine whether it can be put back up.
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.
Is there a Patreon with crypto? Lol
Exactly.
Same thing that’s kept all the other emulators from being taken down: not being illegal.
What was illegal about ryujinx?
Nintendo decided it was. Nothing else, to my knowledge.
Nah, Nintendo decided to offer the dev money so he stops working on it.
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.
it was less illegal and more the dev took money to quit it.
Was Ryujinx taken down?
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.
Well I suppose you also need to be prepared for intimidation and self-hostable Github
I got it via Emudeck and just a few days ago got another update. So I guess… No?
It’s probably the GreenDev fork
Totally possible, I am not very deep into Switch emulator lore.
That was fast.
