Preserving Play: How Eden Grew Into the Switch Emulator Everyone’s Talking About (my interview with the devs) (infosec.pub)

I just wanted to share this!

Nintendo Switch is a bit of a touchy topic when it comes to emulation, we've had some super rough times with Yuzu being taken down (legally) and Ryujinx also being taken down (voluntarily), which left the Switch emu scene...fractured to say the least.

You've probably seen Eden's name or logo around in the last year or so, though. They've swiftly become 'the' emulator to fill that gap.

Anyway, I interviewed two of the devs from Eden, asking them about the history of Eden, the tech, their plans for the future and...well, plenty more!

If you'd like to read through the full interview, you can use this link. It's a lengthy chat this time, so maybe grab a cup of tea or coffee for it!

If you've not seen these before, this is just one of many interviews I hold with my friends who are developers. I like to chat to them a bit and give them the chance to share why they do what they do! So we get a chance to 'peek behind the curtain' of the programs and projects we love and use :)

I do hope you enjoy this one!

I guess I wonder how much of that is just that... yuzu was REAL fucking good and this is Yuzu (if you check the source since their website doesn't seem to acknowledge that?).

From a skimming of the code (if they aren't going to do proper code review, why would I?), the main deltas seem to be related to CI/CD, branding, package updates, and MAYBE improved controls/interfaces more geared towards the android client.

And, to be clear, I think there is a lot of value in maintenance. But when you have to dig relatively deep to even see this is a fork and they already have donation links plastered everywhere?

Yeah... I would be a bit more concerned over making sure this is "above board" as it were.

I assume they don't mention that it's a yuzu fork in order to not poke the bear (nintendo).

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Which... is honestly really shit to the actual yuzu devs who put the work in. And it isn't like Nintendo is going to say "Wow, that really good emulator might not be the one we had taken down. Let's actively not look and instead cry into our money". If they want it down, they'll look for a reason. And then REALLY quickly see it is the same codebase they had removed already.
