#223 things in life are certain. Death, taxes, and Nintendo emulators.
There is no 3rd without the legal problems with Nintendo.
It only became a problem when emulator performance overtook their current-gen hardware
(Especially if enhanced versions of big titles like the Zelda games are intended to be a significant selling point for their next console)

#23Why don't any of these major emulator teams build and release anonymously?
It can be a resume piece. Having been in these communities (server emulation instead of console) you find some insanely bright developers in them. A lot of them don't have a formal education background, but are willing to build out well thought out pieces of software. You just have to do the research on them if they tell you this is who they are, a lot of the times you can find out plenty about how they code and design things out in the open. I'd probably almost always hire such a dev if their code seemed good, and I knew they cared about the quality of their code. Having been involved in those communities though I do know there are awful devs who don't care about what anyone says "my code aint broken" types who never give credit when you help them either (reputation / respect matters more when you're coding for free in some of these communities).

#24If Nintendo sued Yuzu because they were indirectly causing damage, then I can sue car makers for making air polution.

#25The key bit: > Unlike Yuzu, the Suyu team does things differently in regards to Nintendo Switch emulation than their predecessors. Whereas Yuzu only required prod.keys, Suyu will also require you to dump your title.keys and firmware from a hacked Switch to run games. The devs also clarified that they are doing this for nonprofit (there's no Patreon) and do not condone piracy. We'll see how long it lasts...
Note that emulators for all(?) other Nintendo consoles remain available, and were available while the consoles were relevant. There is little Nintendo can do as long as the authors actively steer clear of guiding/condoning piracy or guiding/condoning certain types of DRM-bypass.
It was to my knowledge Yuzu's stance on this particular matter that cost them the project, with Nintendo lawyers striking once they saw the hole in the homebrew armor.

I'm having 50,- on the fact they won't get to May before Nintendo Legal starts cutting up their loved ones.
Yea, I wish them the best, but I would not take the other side of that bet. It’s sad that we all know it will happen and have relatively no political power to change it, despite most of us living under democratically representative governments.

#27Is the name intentionally a pun on sue you?
The readme used to contain the text: > suyu, pronounced "sue-you" (wink wink) is the continuation of the world's most popular, open-source, Nintendo Switch emulator, yuzu. https://github.com/lineCode/suyu-
Here is a link to the commit where they changed it:

It seems misleading to imply that you NEED to dump them from a real device? Can't you just provide the files found on the internet?

You can, but to win ridiculous cases you need massively out-lawyer the defendant. It's a lot easier for a big company to out-lawyer a handful of individuals than the other way around.

#30On my Mac, the .dmg mounts but the executable says "“suyu” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin."
You can usually circumvent that by right clicking (or control clicking) and pressing open. There will now be a button that says “open anyway”.
