In a shocking turn of events, the beloved Nintendo Switch emulator, Yuzu, has announced that they will be shutting down operations. This decision comes after a lawsuit from Nintendo, which could have far-reaching implications for the emulation community as a whole.
The impact of Yuzu’s settlement can already be seen, as the popular Nintendo 3DS emulator, Citra, has also been taken down. Additionally, the developer of the Nintendo DS emulator, Drastic, has made the app free and plans to remove it from Google Play.
The emulation community is facing further difficulties, as the Discord server for the Steam Deck has temporarily closed its emulation channel due to potential legal repercussions. Furthermore, the Ryujinx Discord server is no longer accepting invites, leaving the status of the emulator unclear.
In light of these developments, EmuDeck, an all-in-one emulation provider, has announced that they will be switching to Ryujinx for Nintendo Switch emulation. They will also be testing Panda3DS instead of Citra, in order to adapt to the changing landscape of emulation.
As fans and developers alike grapple with these changes, it is clear that the future of emulation is uncertain. The impact of Nintendo’s legal actions will continue to be felt throughout the community, raising questions about the legality and future of emulation software.
