I'm pretty sure there's someone, somewhere at Nintendo who knows how google works. I would be shocked if they don't know more about Switch emulators than I do, and Yuzu wasn't even my first choice. Yuzu didn't get sued because it's popular. They got sued because they ran a profitable company in a country that enforces IP laws pretty strictly and tends to side with large corporations over people.

Let's say, hypothetically, that I'm not a Nintendo spy. Let's also say that, still hypothetically, I would be interested in, or curious about, maybe, what would have been your first choice. Would you hypothetically tell it to me?

Not talking about pirating anything, btw. Just making hypotheses about a purely imaginary scenario.

Yes. Yes I would. In this purely hypothetical situation I would tell you that I prefer Ryujinx. It doesn't perform quite as well, so it's not great if you're on a Steam Deck or something like it, but in my experience it tends to be less buggy, and it's also run like an actual open source project.

You know, hypothetically.

has exactly the same performance but higher accuracy as yuzu from my experience (on amd gpus)

It's about the CPU, I could play Zelda on Yuzu with my 3200G, but on Ryujinx the game is almost on slow motion.

emulators and modders running patreons and paywalling releases is truly the dumbest possible thing to do

[–] zephr_c@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

A small Patreon to cover expenses isn't so bad. Paywalling releases and running a $30,000/month Patreon out of a company in Rhode Island was not a smart plan.
