Nintendo has reportedly shut down Ryujinx, the Switch emulator that was supposedly immune
Nintendo allegedly got to the lead developer of this Switch emulator.
“Yesterday, gdkchan was contacted by Nintendo and offered an agreement to stop working on the project, remove the organization and all related assets he’s in control of,” writes developer and moderator ripinperiperi on Discord. The rest of ripinperiperi’s message is a eulogy for the project, including a pair of videos showing the Ryujinx team’s progress on iOS and Android ports of the Nintendo Switch emulator, among other core changes — ones that will now presumably never ship. Rumor had it that lead developer GDKChan was based in emulation-friendly Brazil, though I never found proof of that when reporting on the plight of the emulator world earlier this year.
