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.

let’s federate a git repository of a switch emulator
I don’t see Federation giving any more resilience than Git itself. When a host deletes a repository, that’s reflected everywhere by Federation. Unless you propose disabling the ability to delete repositories entirely, hosts would be sued if they press the “delete but still federate” button when they can press the “delete” button.
Put git on the blockchain/s
i’m still open to defending sourcehut’s federation by email
Ok…but how is Switch “retro gaming”?
I’d say the general blow against emulators is relevant.
*2017 sure seems like a hundred years ago.
Like at least a hundred million billion years ago
Unclear if I don’t get an inside joke, or if that’s a typo for 2017.
The website covers emulation news, be it old or new. Also Nintendo might go after older emulators at this rate.
Given that videos are currently getting copyright stuck if just having screenshots of over 10+ year old games…yeah its relevant.
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?
