While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories.

Ryujinx, the last remaining major Switch emulator, can already run the freshly-released Princess Peach: Showtime! with over 60fps. Following the recent shutdown of the Yuzu emulator project, the Suyu project rose from its ashes with many developers working on the project. The emulator's first build, however, has already been taken down following a DMCA takedown notice. This makes Ryujinx the last remaining major Switch emulator project for PC out there, and as can be seen in a new video, the emulator is already able to smoothly run Nintendo's latest Switch release - Princess Peach: Showtime! Granted, the Princess Peach game isn't […]
Following Nintendo's decision to sue Yuzu, the popular Switch emulator, and the consequent shutdown of the project (with a massive $2.4 million to be paid in damages), two main forks have appeared: Suyu and Nuzu.

Just two days ago, the Suyu team published the first public build, introducing several fixes and changes as well as initial work to support the emulator on macOS.

The Yuzu Switch emulator telemetry feature was used by Nintendo to prove how the emulator was used to play pirated games, often before their official release. As reported by Hikiko on X/Twitter, the Yuzu developers decided to settle to avoid discovery, as they would be hit with multiple infringements, including dumping games and sharing them between themselves, a claim that was not verified due to the out-of-court settlement. In addition, the emulator's telemetry feature, which is a standard feature in most modern software, was used by Nintendo to prove how the emulator was used to play pirated games, citing the […]
The development of the Yuzu was permanently halted, but the popular Nintendo Switch emulator will continue to live on thanks to multiple projects that were recently launched. The Nuzu and the aptly-named Suyu projects are both open-source works based on the latest version of Yuzu, they do not support piracy in any capacity and are currently looking for developers, so they currently do not offer anything past what the popular emulator they are based on does. Still, this shows how the emulation community is unwilling to back down. As mentioned above, the development of the Yuzu Nintendo Switch emulator was […]
