So basically download Yuzu off their site right the fuck now?
Or just use the other big Switch emu which, in my experience, has always worked better anywayWhat are the chances that daddy Nintendo goes after them too?
I'll at least give them props for not allowing a new court precedence to make all emulators illegal.No, they just gave precedence for Nintendo to sue the devs with their army of lawyers and everyone will buckle and stop instead which means they'll never be developed in the first place.

No, they just gave precedence for Nintendo to sue the devs with their army of lawyers and everyone will buckle and stop instead which means they'll never be developed in the first place.They were charging on Patreon and considering how fast they settled, Im guessing they were using some of Nintendo's code as well.
I'm surprised that Nintendo accepted a settlement. I figured they were ready to kick the entire community in the face.

This, I think ultimately that was one of the bigger contributors to why they settled this fast. Yuzu only shot themselves in the foot for taking patreon money and giving specific instructions to pirate games , which I think is the biggest reason why Nintendo went after them and not the other emulators. There's etiquettes for this type of stuff and they broke it imo.
Its kind of hilarious seeing Nintendo go after emulation for a console thats at the end of its life cycle.It cost them nothing and got them 2.4 million dollars. Why not do it?
The instructions they had on their website were actually for how to dump your own roms, not "go to these websites to get free roms". But Nintendo definitely wasn't happy with them giving people instructions to jailbreak their Switches.
Ultimately I think that's the Legal Team at Nintendo's goal, to get a precedent to allow them to go after all emulators. The only reason emulators can still exist is because of "technicality's", basically a grey area in the copyright laws.Nintendo may not want to admit that there are games that they will refuse to ever re-release.
Score one for the Nintendo Ninjas. What did they think was going to happen when they were charging people money for their emulator on top of promoting piracy?They were not charging people money. Unless the Patreon offered early releases of the emulator? I haven't looked into it that much. But the emulator was definitely free to download.

The money is far secondary to Nintendo than making Yuzu stop and sending a statement.I feel that it's more likely they felt it would be better to just not spend the money + time to go to court. Even if they got more out of it the court process takes ages and their lawyers have better things to do. And if the goal is to send a statement (of which I agree was the bigger point) then whether or not it actually makes it to court isn't needed.
Also I'm guessing that Nintendo, despite having a better chance to win than lose, still found the chance of losing a bit too high for its taste, especially given the standards a loss could set.
their lawyers have better things to do
(X) doubtThat's code for "not having to pay their lawyers as much for the time being."
Don't feel sorry for the Yuzu guys. They were basically like mob guys who scored a big heist, and than going out driving Benz, buying big mansions, and fur coats.
NSFWExactly! lol

You guys realize that Ryujinx has a patreon as well, right?
but also all circumvention tools used for developing or using Yuzusuch as TegraRcmGUI, Hekate, Atmosphre, Lockpick_RCM, NDDumpTool, nxDumpFuse, and TegraExplorer,
Isn't some of this stuff necessary for getting homebrew working on a Switch? Losing all of that stuff would suck for people who just want to use mods and back up save files, even if they have no intention of pirating anything.They're deleting their copies of those things. Not all those copies from the Internet.
