Reminder that poor Gary Bowser was jailed for a year and owes 30% of his income to Nintendo for the rest of his life. He uses a wheelchair and has two kids.
It would be morally wrong to pirate all future Nintendo titles and pay the cover price to Gary’s gofundme. Please don’t do that.
Please don’t conflate an open effort to own your own hardware and data with a closed effort to literally sell access to copyrighted content under the table, and try to launder the profits and commit fraud. Yuzu and Bowser are not the same.
you mean the MiGSwitch, a device for dumping and preserving switch ROMs? I would love to have one for personal backups, and it pairs well with yuzu. Team Xecuter is credibly presumed to be the developers, so that’s likely Bowser’s current hobby.
No, I mean charging money for pirated copies of games
Bowser helped create and support online libraries of pirated videogames for its customers, and several of the enterprise’s devices came preloaded with pirated videogames.
This behavior was never condoned by the Yuzu developers
Piracy was never our intention, and we believe that piracy of video games and on video game consoles should end.
I disagree with selling pirated roms but, he also wasn’t part of the development team he was closer to a sales associate then anything. the punishment given to him was cruel and unusable and honestly a failure of the legal system.
I see this on the same level as forcing a sales associate at Walmart to pay the fine of all the wage violations the company as a whole did. It’s rediculous.
I personally will never be buying a Nintendo product again out of principle.
I thought he was selling chips that let you do piracy
Either way, he and his descendants should be indentured servants to Nintendo. His lineage must be shamed.
yes that was what he was doing was selling Hardware mod chips that you could hook to it to be able to run custom firmware which allowed you to pirate games, the issue stemmed from how they were advertising the project. They weren’t advertising the project as a run your own custom firmware/ backup solution, they were selling the product with the intent that it was being used to pirate
Nintendo screwed big time. Now there’s going to be multiple forks of Yuzu all over the internet. And on every self-hosted Git forge.
The bigger deal is that development by this team has been halted, not that it will be a little harder to find a trustworthy download of the most recent version.
Yep. This is more to stop the emulation of their next console than anything else. Especially considering it’s likely to be a just slightly better Switch.
Honestly, I’ll think more than twice before buying that thing if it really just is a Switch refresh. Not even taking into account the fact that whether it’s Yuzu or not, it’ll probably be supported by a Switch emulator in a comically short time after coming out. I’m still waiting for some insider leaks ten years from now revealing the Switch was indeed just some rebranded gaming tablet. Too many half-assed features, both on the firmware/OS side of things, but also the controller connectivity and drifting. It’s their worst console up to now. But damn, are their games fun.
fuck Nintendo, I’ll never support them or buy anything related to them ever again.
I feel like the people saying this now aren’t going to follow through and will buy future Nintendo products. If this behavior was a deal breaker for you then you would already be boycotting Nintendo.
Well, given that the last game I officially bought by Nintendo was Metroid Prime Dread (because I really really want that franchise to regain its former glory, same with F-Zero) and that also after a year or so of not buying anything new. Yeah I was kinda in a soft boycott already.
Depends on the person really. I’ve been a sailor all my life, and the only times I’ve bought games was when I bought some physical disc games for my ps4, so it really depends on the person.
@theshatterstone54 @Fizz I’ve bought a physical copy of every switch game I’ve ever played on Yuzu on my Steam Deck… It was just nice having to only carry one portable about, and a superior overall gaming experience. I’ll never do business with Nintendo again over this…
Yet people keep buying their outdated console and paying for Nintendo online with terrible service.
The publicity inspired me to install it, so great job Nintendo.
I’ve owned a switch for like 8 years and suddenly I’m inspired as well…
Is there an updated resource on how to?
Here’s the guide I followed:

And yuzu was still in the Discover store available to download as of this afternoon.
Ah, the good ol’ Streisand effect
Fuck Nintendo :)
