they can, just dont put your name in the software and work in the shadows for some months, then release as a fork with a different name and problem solved. Like bombergames did with streets of rage remake for example.
I was curious how this telemetry was devised, so I went and looked at a mirror of their code. The relevant parts are here

For those not familiar with C++, this code essentially says: "look to see if a telemetry_id has been generated and is saved in the file system. If it's not found, generate one using standard cryptographic random functions and save it. If there's an error opening the file then write an error to the log."
It shares a lot of other info such as what game you were playing, what CPU / GPU you have, what your settings were, crash times, etc... But nothing actually personally identifiable that could be linked back to an individual for the purposes of a lawsuit - unless Yuzu were logging inbound IP addresses along with these reports server side.
My best advice would be to disable telemetry in the settings (and delete your existing telemetry_id file) - or better yet hold off on running any prior build of Yuzu at all, since Nintendo now presumably controls (or will control) this domain and will be able to easily log inbound IP addresses and match them with existing telemetry IDs to see who is playing (and has played) what when.
Hey I was thinking that maybe you'd know but how about digitaly owned games?Would it be legal to play them assuming that you bought them online but since technically buying an online game is just a renting licence for the game, I was wondering if that was legal or not?I've got a fellow forum member vouching for me and proof that I own the games I play via emulation.
Yeah emu deck is amazing even though a bit of a headscratcher at first because my linux course is a bit too old for me to remember...I am sure there's a lot of thing that aren't optimised (like redundant folders) but honestly for someone that could be considered novice, is was easier than I thought.And the community made so much walkthrough, I feel like there's one for everything....I have been replaying 007 Nightfire for the gamecube probably once a day since I got it (this one I even own 2 copies of it .... mostly because I am dumb), In hindsight I should've bought the bigger storage option, it would've avoided me so much problems.
It’s not assumption. They recorded discord discussions with the devs showing they were using pirated roms to update their code prior to release of those games to ensure compatibility for those games by release. The motivation behind this was money. They tied release of major games once leaked to patreon subs and there was a clear trend there.
Yeah I got the 64GB model but godamn was it a hassle sometimes....But with a 1TB SD it works fine (but when they changed how they mount SD cards around half a year ago and all my protons got transfered to the internal memory gave me a good headache and it took me a day to fix).
They could do it, and it's a sound advice but I doubt Nintendo wants to go after the end users this time. However, if we are into paranoid mode Nintendo can easily match inbound IPs with Switches and freeze the ones that connect from the same IPs just to give a scare. By the way, I don't think yuzu was capturing IP information but Nintendo can totally try it out, if only to have regional statistics.
Well, they posted on Patreon a screenshot of Xenoblade running on their emulator one day before the official release. Maybe you don't believe that's proof enough but for Nintendo _and_ yuzu it was.
You live in germany?If it's on the speedometer I need to check it can actually go that fast and I got what I paid for. Those numbers are kind of encouraging people
I had a friend in the 90's use this excuse when pulled up for speeding, the cop said he liked the excuse and made him smile but he was still booking him because he doesn't get the chance to write out tickets for idiots doing over 300kph often.
Guess that means you are not going to admit that you pirate old games, huh? That's fine. We all know now.
Took these pics so might as well show them..
Here are the PS3 games I'm currently emulating and their disks. They are sitting on the very PC blu ray drive that I use to rip the games.
Here is the stack of games I have for emulation currently.
And people get shocked about why Nintendo go after them and Yuzu are not stupid, they knew what they are getting themselves in to.
I had Xeno on my Switch 2 days before official release. I guess that's all the proof one needs that i broke into Nintenohs servers and stole it not that the shop broke release date, no sir.
The store would be in trouble for doing that, not you. You purchased the game, the store gave it to you early.

Yeah, but where is the actual proof of that?
and people here defend this
nah australia, he wouldn't have been breaking the law in germany on an autobhan right? It was a queensland highway which had a limit of 120kph and he was on a 96 or 97 kawasaki ninja with a bunch of work done to it.
) will use a more p2p distribution method while also never identifying the creators. This doesn't stop emulation in the slightest. It will stop people from having a public face around it and accepting donations in official currency.
Switch 2 emulator (and the forthcoming forked versions of Yuzu
my point is that it's not really feasible because there isn't such a discrepancy between PS5 performance and midrange PC performance. You'd probably have a significant performance hit trying to emulate PS5 on current PC hardware, too much so for it to make sense to do it except for the extreme fringe that either has something against buying a console, or get the thrill out of piracy. 10 years from now I'd guess there will be PS5 emulation that attracts more people because the modern hardware will be much better and through emulation you can do things to make older games look even better.
Isn’t emulation for preservation! And people don’t want to preserve PS5 games?
Nin says thanks for $2.4 mil
They might not get it at all. The suite was toward Tropical Haze LLC. They can send the company into bankruptcy and never pay a penny out of pocket our even out of the Patreon. Nintendo may actually not receive a penny because of how LLC works.
I have no horse in this short race.
