    It’s well-known that emulators are legal. See Sony v. Connectrix from 2000. Emulators for various Nintendo systems are freely available.

    The emulators that were sued were not used simply because they were emulators.

      DMCA in the USA. Bad laws, bad results. I don’t know why Nintendo has a problem with me playing ToTK on my desktop at higher resolution than the Switch can put out, I own the game cart and a Switch.

    Almost as if you should stop listening to corps opinions on things and letting them gaslight you.

    So this should be used in a class action lawsuit against Nintendo for illegally shutting down all those emulators right?

    RIGHT!?

      Maybe if Yuzu and Ryujinx hadn’t collected hundreds of thousand buckos to fund their operations, and (at least in the case of the former) also use their private discords to distribute ROMs.

        I think I miss Citra more; unlike Switch and it’s support in Switch 2, 3DS is definitely in it’s twilight years. Did they ever come back or has there’s been any new ones?

        Also I second the dolphin recommendation. I played the loving shit out of GC games recently when there was an update that added retroachievements.

          Citra was unfortunately collateral damage for being made by the Yuzu team, but you can find forks made by other people.
