Ok, so Ryujinx is gone, now what?

Hi, sad news for emulation today, for those of you that haven't heard yet, yesterday Ryujinx decided to make a deal with Nintendo and close the emulator. We are waiting on more details to know if we can use other forks without getting in trouble. Worst case scenario, we would do a Bring your own Ryujinx thing like we do with Yuzu, as long as you provide the emulator we'll take care of everything else.

I'll be reporting more news as soon as I have them

discontinued but slightly better sudachi for yuzu and greem dev fork ryujinx for the og replacement

Max S

Yeah you have to Google the latest version of yuzu EA. Not all sites/repositories are super kosher. Be safe out there

NSKE

i cant find yuzu anymore

Jacy

Well RIP that

Sam

sudachi

Blizz

Dang. Well best of luck to them in their future endeavors

'The Reaper' eRik bRiley

Yes I had problem too, wrote to the guys and they told me should be everything good now.

Antonio De Nardis

@Lars: Do you have a link to the fork from the other developer you mentioned? I'm trying to find a trustworthy fork😅

GKMoritz

Hi, actually the best way to play Switch on Steam Deck and Windows is Sudachi, you could put this fork https://github.com/emuplace/sudachi.emuplace.app/releases

project died within weeks

Anyone else having issues logging into Patreon and receiving token on SteamOS and windows? The area to paste token shows up but unable to login to Patreon to get said token? Says unable to reach the token webpage.

im going back to yuzu, ryujinx was just more convient at best

NSKE

One reason I can imagine is, that Switch 2 can play Switch 1 games. If everyone could use an emulator for Switch 1 games, then backwards compatibility would not be a very convincing argument for buying. Also Switch 2 could be hardware wise very similar to the Switch 1, so Switch 1 emulator developers could perhaps reach Switch 2 parity with relative ease.

Will it be removed when our emudeck updates? As in I used the initial install of emudeck that installed Ryujinx. Just curious if an emudeck update will remove it.

Chris Lockhart

Suzu is just Yuzu with some bug fixes, no major enhancements or new games running... last update was like 6 months ago.

DAVID EVANS

Not sure on how well that one is going, last update was like 6 months ago and mostly bug fixes. Still looking for devs..... Not much has changed from when Yuzu was killed off by the big N bully....

DAVID EVANS

I still have my working install. Can EmuDeck be made to use a working install for people that have one? That would be legal wouldn't it?

Christopher Blaisdell

There is an alternative called suyu but it requires you to have few additional files.

jai vijh

Damn... was wondering why it kept not installing anymore.. any other method left for switch emulation?

Bart Offermans

And like that nintendo again takes away joy

AUK

hahahahahaha😂That really makes sense!

Use Suzu or BYO, or both. But from what I've seen and heard Suzu works great. Just be careful not to get in Nintendo's crosshairs. Do what you think is safest for you and EmuDeck.

Luke Woods

My only guess is the emulators have better performance than the Switch 2 is going to be, and they need to sell a bunch at launch.

Emilio Mejia Jr.

would be nice to update to the latest version since it was stable enough

Dudino_san

I'm curious why Nintendo went to war at the end of the switch's life? I even suspect that the existing switch emulator can simulate switch2 with a little modification😂.

掣江山 风魄

Nintendo si going hard after emus …

Cristian Sandu

BYO sounds good 👍

Peter Geranio

Your great, thank you!

Bruce Green

I don't feel is clear enough, I'm never sure it's configured correctly with emudeck expect for firmware and keys...

Johnnydement

The main repo got taken down by gdkchan and another fork by one of the devs became the main one. That dev has archived it, but it and all the forks are still available on there. And unless gdkchan or the devs did anything illegal while developing it like with the Yuzu situation, I don’t think gdkchan has the right to "sell away" the source code to Nintendo, it being a collaborative effort, he could take down the main repo though as he probably was the owner. Emulators are still legal after all, however much Nintendo wish they weren’t.

Lars-Christian Selland

that's what we don't know, but I figure Nintendo also got Ryujinx source code on that agreement.

EmuDeck

Nothing there says others can’t continue to work on it in comparison to the Yuzu situation where Yuzu is now Nintendo’s property. We’ll see of course, but this isn’t as grim a situation as the one with Yuzu.

Lars-Christian Selland

At least the last early access of yuzu is still working fine

Alaa Mak

Probably not, since the main Developer gdkchan got an agreement from Nintendo, that he ends the development of ryujinx and removes the organization as well as all assets he has access to. And since the organization is gone, he probably accepted it...

Jniklas2

Switch to lime3ds as it’s better and still supported

Keith Leyson

Please do the same for citra. I dont know how to set it up. (I have the relevant files) but dont know where to put them

Jannik Tappert

😭😭😭👍

Daimes Gibbo

yes, that's our curse of action right now. We'll wait and see. Bring your own emu seems like the best right now

EmuDeck

Man... First Yuzu,then having Citra caught in the crossfire,now we don't even have Ryujinx? I just hope we'll be able to find a workaround like we always do.

Nathanial Mothgomery the Third

for Yuzu it's already documented in manage emulators, it will be the same for Ryujinx

EmuDeck

There isn’t a DMCA it seems, so hopefully given time some development will start up again.

Lars-Christian Selland

Probably the best advice

Keith Leyson

Bring your own emulator is good but there should be documentation where to put said emulators so emudeck can see said emulator.

Keith Leyson

Honestly… I would hate for Nintendo to have any grounds to go after you. I think for now, just don’t support switch emulation in anyway… things are way to heated right now… and honestly don’t think anyone is going to have a tantrum… and if they do get grumpy… tell them to take out their frustration on Nintendo My 2 cents

Christian Mejia
