Tropic Haze, the developers of Yuzu, and Nintendo have agreed to a settlement. This means the developers of Yuzu owe Nintendo $2.4 million. Furthermore, Yuzu will surrender its domain ownership to Nintendo and delete all copies and materials that infringe on Nintendo’s IP rights
Tropic Haze has permanently stopped the support of the Yuzu and its 3DS emulator called Citra immediately.
On Monday, both sides submitted their last injunction requests. But the deal now needs a judge’s approval, which is being processed right now.
With the necessary modifications, Yuzu was a Nintendo Switch emulator that could run almost any Nintendo Switch game on a PC. Prod.keys and game ROM files that were lawfully sourced were all that was needed (most people don’t source legally).
Using the Tears of the Kingdom leaks as an example, Nintendo sued Topic Haze for allegedly encouraging piracy by getting beyond their platform security on the Switch hardware for emulation.
