Nintendo is suing the creators of Switch emulator Yuzu
The video game emulator Yuzu circumvents encryption on Nintendo Switch games, making them available on other platforms like personal computers and mobile phones in violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, according to a lawsuit from Nintendo of America Inc.

"NEW: Nintendo is suing the creators of popular Switch emulator Yuzu, saying their tech illegally circumvents Nintendo's software encryption and facilitates piracy. Seeks damages for alleged violations and a shutdown of the emulator.
Notes 1 million copies of Tears of the Kingdom downloaded prior to game's release; says Yuzu's Patreon support doubled during that time. Basically arguing that that is proof that Yuzu's business model helps piracy flourish."
You're viewing a single thread.
I have a .zip containing the latest early access version of Yuzu, for Windows and Linux. It includes the emulator, all required decryption keys, the latest firmware for game compatibility, a tool to automatically download mods, and a convenient guide on how to acquire ROMs.
I will forever distribute this .zip in a non-limited download link to anyone who asks me. Forever. You can PM me today and I'll send it, you can PM me in 5 years and I'll send it. Please feel free to do so. It's not illegal to share where I live, so I'll share. But do it via PMs, as to avoid causing trouble to the community.
Again, forever. If you're reading this in the future, unless I'm dead (my mental health is a bit shaky), I'm sending you a fully functional Yuzu pack.
Have a nice day.
Would you consider posting the SHA256 of the download so future pirates may cross reference with this comment thread? Y'arr.
Good idea!

This is such a dope move, I appriciate your efforts! Thanks for helping the community :)
Decrypting these doesn't seem to work for me, any idea why?
It's a hash, not anything encrypted.
Sorry, I don't smoke. No, not even in code form.
Hang in there, friend, there any many more Nintendo games coming that we must enjoy through piracy to stick it to Nintendo, don't leave just yet.
Thanks! May we all enjoy gaming together :)
I'm sorry to hear that your mental health is shaky at the moment. I hope things get better for you soon, friend.
I have forked everythjng yuzu in hopes of preserving the source code it's availible here: https://github.com/F0SSC0RE?tab=repositories
I wouldn't trust the fork to remain on GitHub. When yt-dl was taken down GitHub got most.of the forks iirc
Yea I should host it elsewhere
Please on me this, and stay strong with the mental health. Seeking help is important and recognising you need it is the first step.
What is the auto-download mod tool you are referring to?
YuzuModDownloader will detect games in your library, check the built in repositories, download the mods and apply them automatically. Do keep in mind it enables all mods by default, so make sure to go to the game's settings and disable the ones you don't need.
Are these mods to improve things like stability and performance? I've found I can only use Yuzu to test out games because it's impossible to put any real time into them due to crashes.
Some allow you to enable better graphics than the native version, some can downgrade graphics to improve performance. Some remove framerate limits. Some are cheats, with infinite health and similar. It varies a lot, really.
For example, with Tears of the Kingdom on a Steam Deck there are mods to make the game run at 16:10, with better performance, and better frame pacing at 30 FPS. If you're running it on a PC, there are 60 FPS mods with improved draw distances and shadow resolution.
I had no interest on playing switch games, but I do have a problem with authority overstepping. I'll help you stick it to the man and evangelize more people on the ways of the Corsair. Pm'ed
Hey man, hope your mental health improves. I’m not quite safe for myself without my anti depressants so I know how that goes.
