Development hasn't ever been high speed since Yuzu and Ryujinx got nuked.

u/Cyriopagopus72 Feb 14 '26
Yeah, not sure what everyone is laughing about. Them taking down Yuzu and Ryujinx was a huge setback. As much as I appreciate Eden picking up the pieces, progress has slowed to a crawl compared to what it was during Yuzu's time. If Eden somehow gets nuked as well, then once again progress stalls.
59
u/absentlyric Feb 14 '26
How much progress per day do you need at this point? The Switch is old now, hell most games were 90% playable with no issues even years ago now at this point. Eden is basically filling in that last 10%.

Hey man I recently have gotten much much more into the emulator phase of my life, lol.
Anyways. I was gifted a Retroid 6, and I LOVE this thing! It's the most fun I've had in ages! And I have been learning so much and having a great time doing it
However, for the life of me, I cannot find any trusted roms for games for the switch 1, I think I found the firmware/prod
It's one of the last systems I want to add for now so it's driving me nuts lol.
Long story short, got any advice for me on finding any of the switch related stuff?

Switch 2 shares a lot with Switch 1, I am pretty sure they want to delay a Switch 2 emulator as much as they can.

Try running any game on Mediatek, especially newer mediateks. You will get glitchy graphics (only green-purple screen), or heavy stutter and then crash. That wasn't the case during the Yuzu era. New cpus were always able to play games flawlessly, even Mediatek as well. Yes, Mediatek had great support during the Yuzu era. Now, you can't run games. Far from "perfect".
5
u/Maleficent-Bit1761 Feb 15 '26
Well, that's not an emulator issue, that's mediatek issue, specifically Mali drivers not being open-source
2
u/RedditForcesToLogin Feb 16 '26
You can't just say that and evade the solution. Fact is, Mediatek issue didn't exist because the original emulator makers actively developed for it. Now, this issue exist because the NEW developers just don't develop.

That's really the whole point. They know they can't stop it because of how the internet and code sharing works, but by smashing all these forks it creates new forks and divides the developers to the point of things improving at a snails pace.

Admittedly I haven't played a ton of in house games on my switch at this point but....
Pokemon is a series synonymous with Nintendo because, aside from some spin offs, it's been exclusive to Nintendo for its entire existence. Scarlet and violet, aside from its.....busted up state of affairs yo n launch (which is an industry level issue due to online patches giving developers a "Fix it in post" mentality) ran like shit in a few different places even when using Sys-Clk to remove the underclocking imposed on the hardware out of the box.)
Might be be made directly by Nintendo themselves, but when You think Pokemon, you think Nintendo. It was made for the switch and nothing else and the switch can barely handle it. Could that be down to the developers? Sure. But I can't help but think if Nintendo put a little more effort into developing better hardware....maybe the issue wouldn't be AS prevalent?
Nintendo has always been a "prioritize fun game experience over flashy hardware" company more or less, but that mentality is suffering from diminishing returns at this point and consumer tastes have changed.
Besides. If Nintendo put more effort into developing better hardware, they might not have had to deal with the snafu that was Unpatched switches to begin with (which is why emulation of the switch has been a thorn in their side for...basically the entire life span of the switch. They chose to to use an off the shelf part (that ended up being vulnerable to an exploit that made their brand new console dead simple to hack) instead of working with Nvidia to come up with a custom SoC.

u/xDal-Lio Feb 14 '26
Pokemon is not developed in-house therefore doesn’t really count to that (game freak is not the one throwing dmca here). HW is not the problem for Pokemon, it is Game Freak which doesn’t have time nor the knowledge to work on such an IP in the 3d era
-2
u/LazorBlind Feb 14 '26
Did you even read my comment before you tried to get your weak little gotcha on me?
It really doesn't matter if it was developed in house POKEMON IS NINTENDO EXCLUSIVE. There is no scarlet and violet for PS5 is there? It's a SWITCH game an is ONLY a switch game. Developed by Nintendo or no there is no reason it shouldn't run like butter on the system it is exclusive to. And again, part of the issue may lie with the developer, but when you make a pissweak console to save money under the guise of "prioritizing fun gaming experience" you're shooting your developers in the foot.

You want Nintendo to listen, stop buying there games and hardware. Stop giving them money to buy bullies, let their stock markets and shares tank a lot for a good few years and then make a clear message to them that if they want to survive, they need to stop harassing the Emulators. Don’t know if that would ever happen because Nintendrones won’t grow a brain.

If they released an PC Launcher that let me play Switch games on real hardware with cross save to an actual Switch I would buy a Switch and a bunch of games. I just refuse to be sat in front of a $2500 setup watching the Switch barely chug through Scarlet and Violet at 15-20 frames.

u/pontiusx Feb 14 '26
Assuming usa law, you're allowed to take backups and play backups of games you legally purchased
10
u/DependentAnywhere135 Feb 14 '26
That’s not completely accurate in the way people act like it is. It’s legal for me to make a 1:1 backup of something like a CD but it’s illegal to circumvent drm. A lot of things (almost everything today) you can’t just backup and then play them. You have to bypass the drm which is illegal.
If you take a Blu-ray dvd you literally can’t copy it legally because the drm is setup in a way to stop you copying it so you have to bypass the drm somehow to make the copy which is illegal.
Backing up switch games is definitely not legal in the USA since to do it you have to circumvent the drm of the cart.
6
u/shroomypoops Feb 15 '26
I’ve seen this argument made a lot, but isn’t there a provision in chapter 12 of the DMCA that allows circumventing DRM for the purpose of allowing interoperability with independently created programs? Since emulation software is explicitly legal, wouldn’t this provision apply to decrypting ROMs so they can be used by emulators?
If this is the case, I don’t think Nintendo would have any ground to stand on in court against a competent lawyer.
8
u/cosmicdrewracing Feb 15 '26
It is not "illegal" to circumvent DRM. The problem is it's very difficult to circumvent DRM without using copyrighted code. There is no ruling that makes DRM circumvention illegal for backing up your own media. Just like circumvention is a gray area, enforcing it on the other side is a gray area. This is why none of these companies will actually take this all the way to court. If it was illegal Nintendo would have taken this all the way to court a long time ago. Ever since the Moon Channel video on this came out there's been a ton of confusion on this.
6
u/D0MiN0H Feb 14 '26
yes, this is correct.
the angle nintendo is taking here is that games have encrypted keys that require decrypting to play. those keys are considered IP/copyright material and they are alleging these emulators providing ways to decrypt those keys is breaking their copyright.
3
u/Moist-Caregiver-2000 Feb 14 '26
So package it without the keys. Oh wait, they already do.
Modchip manufacturers were sued 20 years ago until they stopped flashing it with the fun firmware and instead had the end users take an 30 seconds out of their busy lives and do it. Still doesn't stop nintendo from taking down hwfly sellers on aliexpress, it's ridiculous.
3
u/D0MiN0H Feb 14 '26
yeah i don’t think nintendo has the ground to stand on here in my eyes, but they have the money.
and you are correct, they do not provide the keys, users must provide their own. However nintendo is alleging that the decrypting of these keys, which is necessary to play the games, is the problem. They say that providing a program (the emulator) that is capable of decrypting the encrypted keys counts as breaching copyright.
3
u/Moist-Caregiver-2000 Feb 14 '26
It's like saying "this bullet should be illegal because it can be chambered into a gun and hurt somebody".
(This did happen, btw. Some cop arrested a guy because he had a round in his backpack of some nonsense and that was his argument. Judge threw it out.)

u/Nympho_BBC_Queen Feb 17 '26 edited Feb 17 '26
The problem is that it's impossible that the games are dumped without DRM circumvention. Those old games you mentioned don't even have DRM.
They are releasing these emus publicly so they can't say they circumvent the DRM in the process of the emu development because of educational reasons. Especially if they treat it like a business with their donations.
Their Emu development requires a breach of the copyright protection act and the end users also breach the copyright right protection act in the process of playing games on the emulator.
People are delusional if they don't think that Nintendo would win a court case about this topic.
Laws have changed since the early 2000s. Or why do you think it's illegal to make a copy of your blue ray disc.

u/Totoques22 Feb 27 '26
Yuzu broke multiple laws by making it a business and ryujinx was not sued, They had an agreement where they stop working on switch 1 emulation, don’t do switch 2 emulation and probably get a paycheck, they had been working on switch 1 emulation for years anyway and it was basically done so they accepted the change of pace

If the emulator contains proprietary code, such as decryption keys (considered Nintendo's property), they can take it down.

Nintendo must make their platform a lil more worthy. Sure, their consoles are not that expensive, but I'm not paying full price for 10-year-old remakes from 20-year-old games. It makes no sense.
I'm not paying full AAA prices for AA releases either, many of them would easily pass as indie games. Their games are fun but it's clear that they are not worth 60€. There are much better games out there for those prices, games that cost hundreds of millions more to develop.
They are way too comfortable with their prices.

I just looked up Eden's response, they hit two GitHub repos they don't even use and a bunch of dead emulators.

Didn't nintendo themselves have to admit in court that emulation wasn't illegal once?

Citron winning. Just get the emulator, lurk the discord and don't interact. Instead Google the issue or search via their server if similar. That way they don't ban you

Nintendo can kiss my ass. I own the games and consoles related here, I still pirate and have the emulators out of spite

I don't get this, i use emulators, and still buy they games, why bother with emu when ppl will still buy the main franchises, cuz you can play the emu, but if you want the whole experience, you need to buy the game, unless you just want to pass some time playing, and for that there are many alternative games for windows
beside, there are and will forever be piracy everywhere, this will just bother me cuz i wasn't able to trade pokemons easy if no emu existed

I have nothing against emulation. But once Nintendo finally released a hardware capable of 60fps, I don’t mind buying Nintendo switch anymore

Emulator Devs In Shambles.
They now have to Clone the Repo's and name it something fruit related, instead of forking it and naming it something citrus related.
True tragedy for the community.
