I just wanted to share this!
Nintendo Switch is a bit of a touchy topic when it comes to emulation, we’ve had some super rough times with Yuzu being taken down (legally) and Ryujinx also being taken down (voluntarily), which left the Switch emu scene…fractured to say the least.
You’ve probably seen Eden’s name or logo around in the last year or so, though. They’ve swiftly become ‘the’ emulator to fill that gap.
Anyway, I interviewed two of the devs from Eden, asking them about the history of Eden, the tech, their plans for the future and…well, plenty more!
If you’ve not seen these before, this is just one of many interviews I hold with my friends who are developers. I like to chat to them a bit and give them the chance to share why they do what they do! So we get a chance to ‘peek behind the curtain’ of the programs and projects we love and use :)
I do hope you enjoy this one!
Can switch emulators emulate switch 2 titles?
No. Absolutely nothing on that front so far. Not even slightly close!
Didn’t Yuzu get taken out legally? Not Eden (albeit it is a fork)?
Yes, Yuzu was a court-ordered take-down.
Ryujinx was a voluntary removal by the devs (though one of the original team now runs Ryubing)
Your description mentions “Eden being taken down (legally)”, so I was wondering if that was a typo.
Oops! Shit, that’s just me not reading what I write!
This always happens to me on here. Thanks for pointing it out!!!
I have not heard of Eden. I was a big fan of Yuzu but this was the first I’ve heard of it.
I have been using it since 0.0.2 dropped a while back, but when I first looked into it I thought it was a straight up malware masquerading as a Switch emulator.
it’s not helped by the fact that there’s a bajillion websites claiming to be Eden’s website…
Where would one get it to put on a steam deck?
There are links at the end of my article, but you can just follow one of countless guides on YouTube, there are many!
My old friend Terry (GrownUpGaming) has a good video on the process on YT, if you need one to follow along to :)
