How do you do this? Just fork it? I don’t know much about GitHub (and alternatives)

Don’t just fork it, otherwise if they take down the original repo, your fork will also go down.

Download a full copy of the repo and host it yourself (on your GitHub account or GitLab, Bitbucket, etc.).

At least you’re from the country where DMCA abuse can’t apply.

This is worth mirroring as well.

With today’s announcement, I’m super happy you did this 4 days ago. Time to make a few clones myself.

Streisand effect in action. I am never going to buy anything Nintendo, because they’re a dog-shit company. I hadn’t realised a Switch emulator existed. Andddd… My wife would really like to play Pikmin 4.

They are up to 4 already‽ I mean I never really kept up with a game I started at the second entry and wasn’t particularly good at at the time but still…

Are you seriously asking if a popular game series that first came out over twenty years is “up to 4 already”?

What world are you living in?

or Metroid Prime 4 even lol

Original switch version by Bandai Namco was likely cancelled and retro are working on switch 2 version

Yep all you need to do is find a copy of the firmware (you actually can get the latest firmware from the internet archive) and the decryption keys (they’re a little bit more difficult to find, can’t remember where I got them from, but it took a long time for me to find a working download)

I never figured this out. When I play switch games it’s always a version that bundles the emulator with it and has all the keys and bios crap already configured.

You might also ask nicely for folks to send you theirs. Especially since Nintendo is going after Yuzu, I’m sure there’s plenty of folks that would volunteer keys via DM just to stick it to Nintendo…

The keys I found were on a website linked from a website posted to a Reddit sub. And they were base64 encoded for obscurity

For the future and anyone else who reads this:

Or just download a FitGirl repack of any Switch game and you don’t have to worry about any firmware/decryption nonsense. Just install and play.

I’ve wondered about those. Don’t they get outdated as the emulators become more developed? I’m assuming it’s packed with whichever version was the latest stable release at the time.

Yes but you can always just update the emulator yourself. If you’re playing the latest games then you’re usually using a more up-to-date version anyway.

There are tons of sites that host switch firmware and “prod keys” for it as well. You need the keys for playing games on the switch natively as well.

There’s actually two Switch emulators. Ryujinx is the other one. I’ve tried both and they’re both solid options.

I found that yuzu is more stable while Ryujinx is able to calculate uncached shaders a lot faster, which is great for playing Smash Ultimate, since I couldn’t get online shadercaches to work correctly. I overall prefer Ryujinx, but both are very solid.
