Switch emulator Ryujinx shuts down development after “contact by Nintendo”

GitHub removal comes months after a Nintendo lawsuit took down the Yuzu emulator.

Nintendo previously targeted Suyu's GitLab hosting through a DMCA takedown and later took down the project's official Discord server with a similar request. Riperiperi reports that development will now stop on "a working Android port" of the emulator, which was not yet ready for release, as well as a tech demo iOS version that would likely have remained a "novelty" due to Apple's just-in-time compilation restrictions. According to the developers, "as of May 2024, Ryujinx [had] been tested on approximately 4,300 titles; over 4,100 boot[ed] past menus and into gameplay, with roughly 3,550 of those being considered playable."
