Seeing as Yuzu has been nintendo’d recently, what do people think will happen to ryujinx? Can Nintendo get them on the same grounds as Yuzu or would they need to come up with a new case against them?

    Dolphin was not taken down. Dolphin was not allowed to launch on Steam because Nintendo threatened Valve with a lawsuit. Regardless of the merits of the case, Valve doesn’t want to pay to defend a case so they can distribute a free emulator, so they caved and blocked Dolphin’s Steam release.

    Nintendo claimed Dolphin violates the DMCA but have not taken any direct legal action against Dolphin as far as I am aware.

        Launching on steam didn’t make distributing the key illegal. If its illegal on steam, it’s illegal even when self-hosted.

        Nintnedo took action because they knew they had leverage against valve.

          Nothing is legal/illegal til proven in court, those willing to fight to prove legality doesnt define anything really
