Nintendo recently filed a lawsuit against the popular Nintendo Switch emulator Yuzu. This seems to have had a wide impact on the emulator community. For example, the developer of DraStic DS Emulator has made the app completely free on Android. He also plans to remove it soon.
DraStic DS Emulator and Yuzu: Nintendo emulators are canceled one by one
A new war has broken out between Nintendo and emulator developers. Yuzu announced last week that it had settled with Nintendo and stopped distribution. However, the effects of the lawsuit have affected the entire market. Citra 3DS emulator also went dark after the settlement, canceling the project.
Other emulator developers are also playing it safe. DraStic DS Emulator, which is available for free on Android, will be available for a while. Then the project will be canceled completely.
On the other hand, Ryujinx Switch emulator is no longer accepting new members on Discord. The unanswered messages sent to Ryujinx developers from the Discord channel about the case aroused curiosity. EmuDeck, which brings together various emulators, has replaced Yuzu and Citra with alternatives such as Ryujinx and Panda3DS.
The American electric car giant Tesla has experienced a significant loss in market value. But why? Here are the reasons...
Nintendo’s lawsuit seems to have had a chilling effect on the emulator community. So far there has been no direct action against Nintendo’s projects. But many developers are taking a cautious approach and closing distribution channels due to legal concerns.
Time will tell if Nintendo will take an even bigger step. In the meantime, you can download the DraStic DS Emulator for Android for free and test popular DS games.
