    Once Nintendo actually filed a lawsuit rather than just a cease and desist, you pretty much have to retain a lawyer. Removing the project doesn’t end the lawsuit. You’re at the point where even surrendering would mean negotiating a settlement.

    They definitely should fight it. It’s a horseshit suit and emulation is clearly not copyright infringement. But whether they do or not they need a lawyer.

        I’m done with Nintendo. I’ll not buy their games or consoles moving forward.

        I still have every Nintendo console back to the nes, not counting the virtual boy.

        I buy their games. I know yuzu can be used for piracy but it’s not the only use. Nintendo should have gone after pirates instead of the emulator developer.

          I don’t think so.
          But maybe Emulators need to change how they work.
          Externalize a small, relatively simple tool to decrypt the ROM.
          and a complicated, actively developed Emulator, that can only read decrypted ROMs.

          With that, the Emulator shouldn’t be attackable the same way yuzu was.
