Nintendo knows, or should know, that it’s impossible to put gates on the ground, and is doing everything possible to intimidate developers who launch projects to emulate both its classic games and those available for the Nintendo Switch.
The last emulator that lowered the shutter was Ryujinxone of emulators for Nintendo Switch the most popular and that, overnight, the project’s blinds fell, removing all download links available on its website in addition to the GitHub page where this open source project was stored.
New emulator for Nintendo Switch
The developer of this project, gdkchan, has not provided information about the reasons that forced him to shut down the project, but it is most likely that the company’s army of lawyers threatened him with an important trial. Months ago, the emulator Yuzu He was also forced to close the project, but not before reaching a financial agreement with Nintendo to avoid a lawsuit.
Being an open source project, it was only a matter of time before a programmer took charge of launching a new version of Ryunix at the market. The first to do so was GreemDev, a developer who launched a fork direct continuing the original development started by gdkchan, although everything seems to indicate that they want to give it a different touch.
For the moment, the information available on the page of this new project is non-existent and invites users to consult what was already proposed by the project on which it is based. While it is true that the original website for this project is no longer available on GitHub, it can be accessed through the Internet Archive.
The main reason for yet to create full documentation is likely due to not offering information that Nintendo can use against it, making it difficult for the Japanese company to take legal action without having all the work that entails.
The version currently available on this developer’s GitHub website continues where the last version of this emulator left off. Although it is true that this new fork is not the first to be launched on the market, for the moment it is the only one that seems to have the intention of continuing the project.
We will have to wait a few months to see how this new emulation project Nintendo Switch. If Nintendo doesn’t have any nails to grab to threaten this developer. What is clear is that as long as the original Ryunix code exists, there will be new projects to emulate Nintendo Switch games and the Japanese company knows that it will continue to be like this whether it likes it or not. No.
