The emulator forks which are being taken down are as follows:
Despite this, the one fork that continues, and will continue without takedown is Ryubing - by Greemdev. This is created by an original member of the Ryujinx team. It’s safe, the code is beyond reproach (and violates zero laws or Nintendo code) and actually brings helpful updates.
Still…shitty news. And more indication that the Switch 2’s architecture will be damn similar to that of this current Switch. Them taking emulators down means the upcoming games have a solid chance of being emulatable on release. But…that’s my own (and others’) conjecture, so we’ll see when the time comes.
So if I want to run some of my old games from before 2000, I need to run a Windows 98 or XP computer, because you think emulators should be illegal? I’m not going to install windows 98 on an actual computer, I emulate it so I can run the games I legally own.

That’s vastly different. No one is buying a Nintendo game and then downloading ryujinx to play it since you don’t download Nintendo games on your PC.
