The Yuzu devs, used a leaked nintendo rom of Tears of the Kingdom. I think another question should be why nintendo leaked a rom?
Yes, this is not a good look, but they did that in the hopes of getting their emulator working well with tears of the kingdom early on.
Thats like their entire goal with Yuzu being not just a fan-made love project/ hobby like thing, but a group of guys hired programmers with paetron. Its what sets it apart from other switch emulators, that dont run games as well, or are as quick to get new games running perfectly.
Yes, the fact that they got it to work almost instantly, and well before Tears of the kingdom was even released on the switch.... is crazy.
Yes, they did infact like double their paetron donations, for a few months, likely off of people wanting to play tears of the kingdom early.
This is why they settled for $2,4m. Which is likely more money than they ever made from Yuzu.
Still I dont get why this makes them out to be like badguys....
They aimed to make a great emulator and did.
Are they responsible for how others use it?
