I would agree with you, but there was apparently evidence that specific patches were made that allowed TOTK to work. And then if you take a look at the link, there were screenshots of the Nintendo documents to suggest that TOTK apparently was not the Yuzu team’s first rodeo when it came to patching for pre-release games

Adanisi@lemmy.zip 1 month agoThey did do shady stuff but I hate that the “TOTK worked on the Switch perfectly on release day” is thrown around as an argument. It’s an emulator, emulating the switch hardware, if it does it’s job well of course it’ll do that.
I know that they used leaked builds but that just annoys me.

It doesn’t matter if there’s patches to make it work specifically, if they don’t contain Nintendo’s code. At most they could accuse whoever contributed the patch with piracy / breach of NDA or similar for having downloaded the ROM prior to release (couldn’t have purchased it) but that doesn’t impact the emulator itself

I kind of want to just see the evidence. No offense, but the heresay is obnoxious.

I’ve seen hearsay that there have been Yuzu patches specifically to aid compatibility with TOTK before it was officially out, which would have greatly supported the “mainly/primarily used for piracy” argument in court.
