Popular open source Nintendo Switch emulator Ryujinx has been removed from GitHub, and the team behind it has reportedly ceased development of the project after apparent discussions with Nintendo.
Nintendo previously targeted Suyu’s GitLab hosting through a DMCA takedown and later took down the project’s official Discord server with a similar request.
In the wake of those legal efforts against other Switch emulator developers, the Ryujinx developers posted an automated message on their Discord server in response to any questions about Ryujinx’s ultimate fate.
Developers were also working on updates that would have allowed local wired multiplayer gameplay connections between Ryujinx and real Switch hardware.
“While I won’t be remaining in the switch scene either, I still believe in emulation as a whole, and hope that other developers aren’t dissuaded by this,” riperiperi writes on the project’s Discord.
