>ユデア天堂 shoahs Ryujinx not through lawsuits but by buying out/threatening the main developer to quit and delete fucking everything.
>However, no DMCAs were filed against the source code unlike Jewzu and none of the contributors were banned nor were any forks taken down, so the emergence of a successor-fork is only a matter of time unless 任天堂 feels like resuming the endless game of DMCA-mole or buying more slaves across the wider emu community.
>The unthinkable has happened and Bloodborne has become playable on PC in less than a month after it first went ingame using shadPS4, a few dozen other games have gone ingame since then.
>Of note is that the emulator requires FSGSBASE instructions necessitating an Intel Ivy bridge or first generation AMD Zen CPU at minimum.
>With Xbox one game encryption having been successfully cracked, various Xboner wrappers soon emerged so people can finally play the vast library of fantastic Xbox wan exclusives beyond the clutches of Microsoft even though none of them run Lunix yet. XWine1 and WinDurango are the most prominent at the moment, with XWine1 capable of playing Minecrap to some degree.
>RPCS3 wires up online multiplayer emulation for a variety of games including Armored Core for Answer.
>MAME devs cook up Nuked-SC55 for emulating the Roland SC-55 Midi synth for all your obscure Nipponese エロゲ and/or Doom needs.
>Dolphin switches to new release model, now instead of one (1) "stable" release every 10 years they'll publish a new "stable" release every 6 months which should make organizing netplay gamenights somewhat easier.
>PCSX2 officially releases 2.0 as stable feat. playable hardware mode Ace Combat 04, but it doesn't seem they intend to change their current release "schedule".
>Parallel-gs makes steady progress, no ETA on an official merge with mainline PCSX2 yet.
>Stenzek incurs a predictable soy/HRT(?)-induced meltdown over users of ebul Duckstation forks sometimes making erroneous bug reports on mainline along with emotional damage incurred from the toxic emu community or some shit so he changed the loicense to prevent anti-semites from redistributing custom forks+builds of HIS sacred code!!11...anything prior to the license change is fair game though and Mednafen still exists, as do existing Duckstation forks.
>RetroArch slightly flattens up its regular Ozone UI for reasons unknown.
>The fate of the VxKex Win10-on-7 wrapper's original developer is still unknown, no DMCA takedowns were filed at any forks or mirrors in the months since the sudden deletion so who knows.
