Ryujinx Switch Emulator Removed After Nintendo’s Request (www.retronews.com)

The Ryujinx emulator, a popular tool for emulating Nintendo Switch games on PCs, has been taken down following a request from Nintendo. This action is part of Nintendo’s broader crackdown on emulation and homebrew communities, particularly as the company seeks to protect its intellectual property and revenue streams.

It's not "retro gaming" but that doesn't make emulating switch games a bad thing. I dump and emulate my own switch games off my own switch because they tend to perform better via emulator on a PC. It's really unfortunate to see Nintendo shut down what ultimately is the best way for us to preserve switch games long-term.

I wasn't saying emulating is a bad thing. I was saying THIS community may not be the right place hor THIS particular piece of news.

Now if they shut down an SNES emulator, then I'd see why it's here.

Also, it just occured to me that Wii might be considered retro.......god I feel old.

I think the point was this community is for retro games. I do see why it's relevant.
