The Ryujinx emulator, a popular tool for emulating Nintendo Switch games on PCs, has been taken down following a request from Nintendo. This action is part of Nintendo’s broader crackdown on emulation and homebrew communities, particularly as the company seeks to protect its intellectual property and revenue streams.
Ok…but how is Switch “retro gaming”?
I’d say the general blow against emulators is relevant.
The website covers emulation news, be it old or new.
Given that videos are currently getting copyright stuck if just having screenshots of over 10+ year old games…yeah its relevant.
2107 sure seems like a hundred years ago.
But that was only…
Fetal position, crying
Unclear if I don’t get an inside joke, or if that’s a typo for 2017.
It’s not “retro gaming” but that doesn’t make emulating switch games a bad thing. I dump and emulate my own switch games off my own switch because they tend to perform better via emulator on a PC. It’s really unfortunate to see Nintendo shut down what ultimately is the best way for us to preserve switch games long-term.
I wasn’t saying emulating is a bad thing. I was saying THIS community may not be the right place hor THIS particular piece of news.
Now if they shut down an SNES emulator, then I’d see why it’s here.
Also, it just occured to me that Wii might be considered retro…god I feel old.
I think the point was this community is for retro games. I do see why it’s relevant.
Do you get confused when the New York Times writes articles about something in Chicago?
More discussion here:
It would make me immensely happy for Nintendo to be labeled a vexatious litigant. It’ll never happen, but let me dream damn it
For the litigation they didn’t do?
I’m sure that would have followed if the threat was insufficient. Not like they haven’t litigated before
Sell out
