F you Nintendo.

I wonder how much the "Yuzu is primarily for piracy" thing will hurt yuzu successors off the open sourced code.

Does a settlement like this set any kind of precedent?

I have never played any Nintendo games. Idk what people see in them. I feel like people buy them mostly because of nostalgia. First game you ever played and all that, and then they buy switch for their kid.

This is bad news for emulation though.

And I was thinking of cloning the repo. Fuck

This is the best summary I could come up with:

It also agrees to not delete any other “evidence” that infringes Nintendo’s IP rights.

You can read through the entirety of the proposed final judgment and permanent injunction at the bottom of this story; they have not yet been approved by a judge.

Yuzu has still not publicly commented on the lawsuit at its website, Patreon, or Discord — though a bot is still replying to some Discord users with the following message: “yuzu is legal, we don’t support illegal activities.

It’s not yet clear if this is the end of Yuzu, since copies of both the emulator and its source code are in the wild.

Some online supporters specifically mentioned backing up the code after Nintendo sued two weeks ago.

But now, Nintendo and Tropic Haze are asking a judge to specifically find that Yuzu circumvents its copyright protections by using those keys, even if it doesn’t come with them.
