🔗 A kind of new Nintendo Switch emulator has launched
NxEmu is in development again after a long hiatus.
NxEmu is a small emulator, that's in development again, after the dev originally put the project in hiatus a couple of years ago.
But with the deaths of Yuzu and RyuJinx, N3xoX1 has posted a new update on their website, while also releasing a new version of the emulator. On their website, they write:
This project is not just another fork. While I am leveraging code from Yuzu, I am selectively integrating parts of the souce code one at a time. This approach not only allows me to gain a deeper understanding of each component but also ensures I can effectively work with it and avoid problematic elements like decryption. However, the downside of not simply forking is that I don’t inherit everything automatically. I need to add each part bit by bit. This does mean a lot of functionality will be missing initially as I gradually rebuild what was available in Yuzu at the time it was discontinued. Therefore, achieving feature parity with Yuzu is going to take a while.
So while the project has started development again, I'm guessing it'll take a while before we see any major updates on this front. But at least, there is a new emulator in active development again, which I consider a small win already.
