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).
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.
Fair, but also the Switch 2 has some backwards compatibility to Switch games. So they may still have an interest despite Switch 2 being out to prevent games that could still be sold on Switch 2 to be emulated via this.
Maybe it’s just me. I don’t know much about emulation or console hardware, but I find it hard to believe that the architecture of the Switch 2 would be so radically different from the Switch 1 that developers would have a significantly harder time creating an emulator for it. What would be the purpose of making radical changes?
Yuzu had been around for years before it got taken down. I’d like to see a Switch 2 emulator pop up as soon as possible, of course.
And what’s gonna keep this one from getting taken down by Nintendo?
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.

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.

it was less illegal and more the dev took money to quit it.
Was Ryujinx taken down?
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.

Well I suppose you also need to be prepared for intimidation and self-hostable Github

Can’t wait for the Switch 2 emulator so I don’t have to support nintendo’s bad decisions but still play games day 1.

It’s not really an issue. Emulator developers should already be doing their work anonymously.
