After Yuzu got shut down I’m not sure what this leaves people with for switch emulators. I’m going to try and find archives and will update the post when I do.
Last windows build: archive.org
Slightly older, but has linux and mac builds archive.org
Okay there we go, a github mirror: https://git.naxdy.org/Mirror/Ryujinx
From the Ryujinx subreddit:
Slurpy2k17:
And that piece of trash GDKChan just instantly took the deal and shut everything down? Zero announcement, zero warning, zero consultation with the team, zero consideration for everyone who used the product. What a fucking sellout.

Hi. I’m a former Ryujinx dev. They showed up at his house. I guarantee it was not a fun deal for gdk.
Holy shit, Nintendo is sending goons to people’s houses. Reminder- this dude is Brazilian which is why people were fairly confident Nintendo wouldn’t be able to pull off what they did with the US-based Yuzu, so instead they sent legal muscle to Brazil to personally intimidate him
Nintendo taking the Coca-Cola route of sending death squads to people’s homes
They did the same thing to a hacker in the 3DS scene years ago, I wouldn’t be surprised if they followed the same plan even.
Oh wow, the plumber does NOT fuck around
Look at this fucking flowchart
This is like some Pinkerton shit
Whole lot of effort to convey the idea of “We’re going to meet up, go to some guys house to harass them, then if they say no, go get a lawyer”.

Their post history suggests that they do work on emulators so this is probably true
Even if they had “sold out” I wouldn’t blame them for a minute, because that’s clearly a plato o plomo situation.
Lends further credibility to the idea that Switch 2 is just a souped up Switch. They don’t want 100% of the launch library playable on day one with some minor changes to the emulator. I guess we can expect an announcement soon.
I’d assume it’s a new generation of the Nvidia chip they’re using in the switch? It makes sense not to change it too much
Everything cool needs to be hosted as a hidden service on tor and funded by monero.
I don’t think you can make emulators that are as nice as Ryujinx/RPCS3/Dolphin the same way you make cracked Android apps
Well apparently you can’t make emulators that are as nice as Ryujinx/RPCS3/Dolphin anymore anyway, so there’s your options. Tor is easily capable of handling some git servers and forums. Plus the more people that use Tor and Monero the safer and more anonymous they become.
I know, I’m just saying that sort of environment is going to attract much less developers
I had a Nintendo themed birthday party for my 7 year old and their Kyoto headquarters called my local police department and shut it down. Now I’m 15 grand in debt because I had a hacked PS2 running Super Mario World via emulation.
