Switch 2s architecture will probably be very similar, so Nintendo might have done it to protect the next gen.

[-] WallEx@feddit.de 16 points 6 months ago

Yeah like that is going to work. There are forks left and right.

[-] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 6 months ago

Forks are meaningless.

Unless a team steps up to continue development, the project is as good as dead.

[-] WallEx@feddit.de 12 points 6 months ago

I can still play emulated games right now, so its alive and well for my purpose (playing games that I fucking paid for without stutter at 60fps)

[-] dev_null@lemmy.ml 10 points 6 months ago

Are there any that actually have a new team behind them that would presumably add Switch 2 support?

[-] WallEx@feddit.de 4 points 6 months ago

Dunno, but it will come

[-] ShortN0te@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 months ago

It is working. It buys them enough time to sell enough new hardware and games. It will take a really long time until development picks up again, since basically every developer associated (not necessarily every one who has contributed to the project) with the yuzu group can no longer legally work on that project. So basically a lot of expertise is lost.

[-] WallEx@feddit.de 3 points 6 months ago

There are literally working forks right now. Switch 2 support is different though. We'll have to wait and see how that turns out.

[-] ShortN0te@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 months ago

Yes there are forks, but having a fork and maintaining it are 2 completely different things.

[-] WallEx@feddit.de 3 points 6 months ago

Absolutely.

Although i think the need and the drive to use emulators is higher then ever. So the next project without direct responsibility will come eventually I think.

[-] rmi@feddit.de 3 points 6 months ago

Of course it’s not gonna work. But that’s just how lawyers think I suppose.

[-] WallEx@feddit.de 2 points 6 months ago

More like Nintendo thinks they can deal with their costumers, but the outcome stays the same so it doesn't really matter
