I like Nintendo games but I won’t buy new hardware to play them.

So that means om also not in Nintendo’s target market. Which means they loose my business. But, what if they just let me play their games on my hardware? Then I could like… Give them money for those games right? An official emulator would allow for that.

If I can currently play nintendos newest and best games on my Linux PC using an open source emulator that was legally made without the help of Nintendo or its source code. It would be much simpler for Nintendo to make that emulator than random open source devs without any real resources, documentation, or source code.

Some websites don’t immediately work on my computer because I use Firefox with noscript. Does that mean I should have a special device from lego so I can reliably view Lego.com?

Just look at the amount of contributors and releases since the fork. Its more than just an archive.

Totally agree. I think another crazy thing is that Nintendo knows how easy it is to emulate their latest games when developers are doing it without source code legally.

Like imagine if nintendo just saved the effort and money they otherwise would spend on R&D, manufacturing, shipping, and promotion, litigation on new consoles every so often and just released an official emulator instead. It would be so much better for the environment to let people use their own hardware and they could just focus mostly on making games.

At minimum, they could do both and have an option to sell games to people that don’t want another device to play media that their current devices already are capable of. And slowly phase out the console.

I use Arch BTW, so I just use ryujinx from the AUR. The upstream git repo was updated to one that is in active development and is working better than ever.

Here are the latest stable releases for all platforms
