Ducky Obrien Show 052 - SBC Gaming News (It's a Me, a Lawsuit)

Video Game News, Reviews, and Guides (and sometimes random things)

In today's SBC gaming news, Nintendo sues Yuzu and they settle.

This is one of the few times an emulator developer had no defense because they were actively decrypting the games during runtime and doing so is circumventing Nintendo's copyright protection. Few emulators do this sort of decryption which is why most emulators have won their lawsuits and are still around to this day unless it died due to lack of developer interest.

Yuzu has shut down everything and turned it over to Nintendo. As part of the fallout, Emulation Station has been removed from the Amazon App store. You can still purchase it from their patreon with a one time purchase that comes with future updates.

Emulation Station has taken more steps to protect itself legally by removing Yuzu and Citra from their future updated versions. (You can still use it with a little bit of editing). The Turnip team has also closed down shop as well.

Out of the ashes rises Ryujinx to take over the void. This all happened so quickly.

And more!

Thanks for listening!
