It's been more than a year since Nintendo blue shelled Yuzu, but the Switch emulation scene is thriving like never before.

    A few of the forks:

    • Eden [github]
    • Torzu [tor] [mirror]
    • Kenji-NX [gitlab]

      Eden, apparently available only via Discord

      You can also find it in the AUR if you happen to emulate on an Arch PC.

    It took switch emu devs awhile to stop using github, but we got there in the end.

    There is no incentive to play by the rules.

    Any sane project now starts by asking: how do I not care about C&Ds?

    With Yuzu and Ryujinx shut down, it looked like game over for Switch emulation.

    Lol, maybe if you were new to emulation…

      Lmao, not even :D

      I’ve literally gotten switch emulation working in the past week on my steam deck, despite having never emulated the console before. Nintendo can get fucked

Discussion and News forum for all things video game emulation related, or tangentially. Platform agnostic. Mobile is welcome too. We’ll keep it loose, but more focused on emulation. Piracy discussion is allowed, that’s one reason we’re on this domain.

A General Discussion will be stickied for the community to chat in about whatever. Staying on topic isn’t important in any GD stickies.


Rules

#1: Obey our domain rules first and foremost.

  • TheDude abides. Try to be like The Dude here.

#2: Mundane Tech Support/Game Sourcing Questions need to be kept to the stickied posts, unless it’s something novel/interesting others might want to see.

  • if the community grows, the stickies should be renewed monthly.

#3: Unless it’s at least tangentially relevant to emulation, no politics. Don’t get your toque in a knot.

#4: Be nice, and consider reporting an offending hoser of #4 instead of responding to mean people to begin with.

Inspired by negative impressions of /r/ROMS:

#5a: Strive to be polite & patient with noobs asking questions.

  • We all start somewhere.

#5b: Doesn’t mean be a doormat.

  • Report rude, unjustifiably entitled, or ungrateful users asking questions too.
