Another one bites the dust.....RIP Ryujinx

If I could physically eat my own shoe....I would. I didn't think this emulator was in their crosshairs.

this leaves only sudachi that I am aware of. this one seems like an actual fork of Yuzu. It's GUI and general operation from a user perspective is basically the same. Literally set it up in the few mins it took me to write this post.

I must have had a premonition that this was going to happen because I've always been happy with Yuzu. But last weekend I got Ryujinx setup just to see how much better/worse it is. Pretty glad I got the like 2nd to last release before this happened.

Honestly, I'm surprised it took this long for Nintendo to go after Ryujinx after what they pulled off earlier this year with Yuzu. And while this recent news isn't surprising at all, it's definitely very disappointing and another huge loss for the emulation community. Lately, Nintendo is on a roll, in a very unpleasant way too.

I don't get why they didn't go after Ryujinx at the same time as Yuzu. I would believe people thought the difference was one was a more low key, and the other was acting like a rockstar, shinning the spotlight on themselves, doing it for profit. The result was one had a target on its back, the other was flying under the radar, or so it seemed. (or I should say, flying low enough that they, Nintendo, didn't care to react)

But you're correct, they are going ham lately. Lots of stories surrounding ROM sites and youtubers/streamers getting shutdown or at least content removed. Seems like a disproportionate response they are taking.

Could it be they wanted Ryujinx shut down before they announced further Switch 2 news

whatever the reason its a shame but it will live on through forks nintendo can't kill emulation but they are working hard to do so

I'm sure it has some influence. They cited over 1 million illegal download of Tears of the Kingdom, maybe Ryujinx facilitated many illegal downloads of Echoes of Wisdom. Or just the general principle that said emulator exists. The array of arguments they could make is wide and varied.

Sudachi is available to download. Like I said in initial post, it's a fork of Yuzu and it's operation is the same. I set it up in just mins since already being familiar with Yuzu.

Yuzu can be found in some internet archive fashion

Ryujinx likely can be found in same way

The emulators themselves will never be fully removed from the internet. But their development has mostly been stifled, for the time being at least.

I purchased the game The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
and on the original console it works worse than on the computer, I prefer to play it with the emulator. I really don't understand those who claim that emulators are illegal. I attach my game wherever I want. It's like asking me if I can't put shampoo in the oven, if I want I can do it without worrying about getting fines.

It is Nintendo's job to make anti-piracy games.
