      Wii U hasn’t changed, only one good emulator named Cemu: https://cemu.info/

      Games: https://r-roms.github.io/Nintendo/nintendo-wii-u

      Switch emulation, all the initial forks are starting to dwindle down to a couple active projects looks like. Personally I prefer Ryujinx over Yuzu.

      Yuzu fork named Eden: https://git.eden-emu.dev/eden-emu/eden

      Ryujinx fork named Kenji-NX: https://git.ryujinx.app/kenji-nx/ryujinx

      Firmware: https://darthsternie.net/switch-firmwares/

      Product Keys: https://prodkeys.net/prod-keys/

      Games: https://nxbrew.net/

      That’s Citra 🙂 Never heard of Citron before this. Shame it’s being discontinued, though.

    Ryubing has given me no trouble on Linux. Eden on Android is progressing. Things are slower but the takedowns started after things became solid

Discussion and News forum for all things video game emulation related, or tangentially. Platform agnostic. Mobile is welcome too. We’ll keep it loose, but more focused on emulation. Piracy discussion is allowed, that’s one reason we’re on this domain.

A General Discussion will be stickied for the community to chat in about whatever. Staying on topic isn’t important in any GD stickies.


Rules

#1: Obey our domain rules first and foremost.

  • TheDude abides. Try to be like The Dude here.

#2: Mundane Tech Support/ROM Sourcing Questions should to be kept to the sticky posts, unless it’s something novel/interesting others might want to see.

  • if the community grows, the stickies should be renewed monthly.

#3: Unless it’s at least tangentially relevant to emulation, no politics. Don’t get your toque in a knot.

#4: Be nice, and consider reporting an offending hoser of #4 instead of responding to mean people to begin with.

Inspired by negative impressions of /r/ROMS:

#5a: Strive to be polite & patient with noobs asking questions.

  • We all start somewhere.

#5b: Doesn’t mean be a doormat.

  • Report rude, unjustifiably entitled, or ungrateful users asking questions too.

#6: Projects that are AI assisted are allowed. Vibe coded slop and lazy AI ports of other people’s hard work is banned. Especially lazy port jobs. Exceptions could in theory be made, just DM me first.

Decompilation and Recompilations are accepted for now.

I’m not sure if another community is needed, Fediverse is smol so at least for now I’ll allow these. I am open to discussion about this if it ever comes up as a pain pont for community members.
