Tropic Haze, the popular Yuzu Nintendo Switch emulator developer<\/a>, appears to have agreed to settle Nintendo\u2019s lawsuit against it. Less than a week after Nintendo filed the legal action, accusing the emulator\u2019s creators of \u201cpiracy at a colossal scale,\u201d a joint final judgment and permanent injunction filed Tuesday says Tropic Haze has agreed to pay the Mario maker $2.4 million, along with a long list of concessions.<\/p>\n Nintendo\u2019s lawsuit claimed Tropic Haze violated the anti-circumvention and anti-trafficking provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)<\/a>. \u201cWithout Yuzu\u2019s decryption of Nintendo\u2019s encryption, unauthorized copies of games could not be played on PCs or Android devices,\u201d the company wrote in its complaint. It described Yuzu as \u201csoftware primarily designed to circumvent technological measures.\u201d<\/p>\n Yuzu launched in 2018 as free, open-source software for Windows, Linux and Android. It could run countless copyrighted Switch games \u2014\u00a0including console sellers like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/em><\/a> and Tears of the Kingdom<\/em><\/a>, Super Mario Odyssey<\/em><\/a> and Super Mario Wonder<\/em><\/a>. Reddit threads<\/a> comparing Switch emulators praised Yuzu\u2019s performance compared to rivals like Ryujinx. Yuzu introduces various bugs across different titles, but it can typically handle games at higher resolutions than the Switch, often with better frame rates, so long as your hardware is powerful enough.<\/p>\n
