Surprised Nintendo settled for just a small payout. Maybe they aren’t so confident on their legal take about emulation.

 

[Topher]

It's dead:

I'm going down that list and two words keep coming to my mind: "too late"

 

[Topher]

Good luck finding proper engineers a. being able to write an emulator like this and b. taking the risk to do so.

The code is already written. Nintendo can't stop me from compiling it.

 

[JordiENP]

That was smart for them

yep, especially with a build having been published today, anyone with interest is going to download it + the source code and make backups

 

[spons]

But how complete is Yuzu? I'm sure nobody is going to work on this code base anymore, at least not the people originally working on it. That means they've lost good developers to fix issues, bugs and further implementations of Switch software. Although Ruyjinx is still going strong or something, lol.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Man, this sucks.

I hope the emulator lives on somehow. Yuzu is amazing.

 

[LordOcidax]

It's dead:

Flawless victory.

 

[Hudo]

Now sue Ryujinx to get another $2.5 mil

 

[Hudo]

Where Yuzu folks will get that money?

afaik they had a Patreon up where people got special access to nightly builds/early access builds or something in exchange for "donations".

 

[64bitmodels]

Damn, well goodbye yuzu.

 

[Astray]

Damn.....that was really fast.

So much for the theory that Nintendo wanted this to go to court.

They gave them basically everything they wanted and maybe some more.

 

[graywolf323]

They gave them basically everything they wanted and maybe some more.

the point of going to court would be to see if they could get a new precedent, instead this is just Nintendo using their money to bully people that can’t afford to stand up to them in court ($2.4 million might actually be cheaper for Yuzu than lawyers would have cost even if they won)

 

[stn]

Lawyer here - I haven't read the document yet, but a permanent injunction is usually a court order to restrain a party from doing something. Given the context of the case, I am guessing Nintendo got an injunction to stop the distribution of the Yuzu emulator.

Yuzu works perfectly fine as it is. This injunction applies to Tropic Haze. No one else. Others can take this source code and make modifications on their own. And after this news, I'm betting the number of forks of this code is skyrocketing.

Sure did, but that wasn't my point.

 

[Astray]

I am pretty sure is going to be down after the Final Judgment and Permanent Injunction… Those guys don’t want to mess with Nintendo.

This document basically asks the court to enter the settlement as described and end the case.

As soon as the court complies the domains etc will be taken over by Nintendo.

Risky tactic because the court might have found against Nintendo on something.

This way they get what they want with minimal risk.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Welp, pour one out for the Yuzu team!

 

[64bitmodels]

Virtually nothing stopping the devs from closing down the company and resuming their work on another fork, probably working on Switch 2 support too. Especially since this applies to tropic haze and not the individuals.

The only precedent this case will set is that you can't even teach people how to dump their switch prod keys anymore.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Now sue Ryujinx to get another $2.5 mil

Then Nintendo will have $5 million ... that they can use to develop their next 35 AAA games.

 

[mrcroket]

Yuzu has been on hold since the lawsuit was announced. What is updated are the autobuilds, but there is no new code.

 

[mckmas8808]

I'll never understand why people think Nintendo won't come for them.

I know. Glad they settled. Nintendo had to do this though.

I don't want to say something like "I will kiss you if you're right" because I really don't want to kiss you ... but I hope you're right.

 

[BennyBlanco]

These guys made 2.5M on patreon? Sheesh. People were really thirsty for that build around TOTK launch.

I find Ryujinx to be a bit better anyway. Let’s see which runs Unicorn Overlord better.

Which means folks will probably end up downloading it from site illegally, unfortunately.

Why not? I'm pretty

Yuzu is dead, long live Juzu (name pending).

Same energy.

 

[kiphalfton]

I'd maybe go download the latest mainline build from Yuzu's website right now, just in case.

Yeah.

What's the link (for the lazy like me)?

 

[Hudo]

Then Nintendo will have $5 million ... that they can use to develop their next 35 AAA games.

And I'll play them on Ryujinx (or Switch 2).

Ryujinx is more compatible, but personally I use it simply because it tracks time played. The silliest of reasons.

Isn't Ryu slower? From my experience it has more trouble eith shader comp stutter.

On a 6650xt and 5600x btw

 

[AREYOUOKAY?]

If Ryu had the controller input settings that Yuzu had it would be perfect. Was never a fan of their UI.

lol....seems that info is still on github from a different source.

Someone tell Nintendo to sue Microsoft (owner of github) for facilitating piracy.

 

[YCoCg]

Shame that Yuzu will cease but it's open source and the code is out there so looking forward to Zuyu when it drops.

 

[Holammer]

If Ryu had the controller input settings that Yuzu had it would be perfect. Was never a fan of their UI.

Ryujinx just had a major UI update the other day. Check it out.

 

[LordOcidax]

Yuzu is dead, long live Juzu (name pending).

Nintendo is going to be ok receiving 2.5 million with every version (name pending)

 

[Heisenberg007]

And I'll play them on Ryujinx (or Switch 2).

I'm a Yuzu fan. So I must hate you for this. Sorry.

Mourn with me, Ryujinx gang!

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Do they get to still offer the emulator?

 

[YCoCg]

Do they get to still offer the emulator?

Not as Yuzu, they must also hand the website over to Nintendo.

 

[LordOcidax]

Do they get to still offer the emulator?

No

 

[AREYOUOKAY?]

I’ll have to update and try it out then.

Good luck seeing any of them gain enough adoption or traction imo.

Far likelier that the torch now goes to Ryujinx imo.
