Ryujinx Switch Emulator Project Shuts Down Under Nintendo Pressure.
Ryujinx Switch Emulator Project Shuts Down Under Nintendo Pressure.
Open source Switch emulator Ryujinx has thrown in the towel after lead developer 'gdkchan' was contacted by Nintendo on Monday.
I hate Nintendo with a burning passion.
There's a reason why most other groups on the emulation scene wait for a given console to be a couple of generations dead before they'll touch it. And Nintendo has always been touchy about their property (intellectual and otherwise) I'm not going to argue about who has the moral high ground here, but this result isn't unexpected.
Nintendo should maybe make a console that isnt so easily emulatable then. Why would I ever bother playing the new zeldas on console when day 1 I can play TOTK at double the fps in higher resolution?
Just once in their life, I wish Nintendo would be cool and understand that this isn't hurting them. There is no overlap between the sort of people who would buy games for the switch and the sort of people who emulate their games.
First Yuzu now Ryujinx. Fuck Nintendo and every single fuck of their legal department sideways with a Wii Remote Plus. Fucking cancer of a company.
Source code mirrors, since the code is legal: (This is not a case of copyright infringement.)
https://git.naxdy.org/Mirror/Ryujinx
https://git.l7y.media/mirrors/Ryujinx
The commit hashes on both of these mirrors match the official ones at least until March 2024 (v1.1.1217). I can't vouch for the more recent commits that extend through today (v1.1.1403), but the two mirrors do at least match each other. Another user has confirmed that these hashes match his clone of the official repo through 2024-09-24.
Warning: A zip file in the ryujinx_202410 subdir of https://archive.org/download/ claims to have the full git history, but the hashes do not match the original source repo. It's possible that the mismatch is an artifact of some accident, rather than malice, but I would avoid it just in case.
If only there was a berg for code with this repo. Too bad there isn't.
That's it. In my mind, Nintendo is actually worse than Disney.
Well damn. That sucks
