Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ @lemmy.dbzer0.com will_iam90983402984 @lemmy.dbzer0.com 2y ago

Fully understand if this is impossible, but is there any way to pirate/emulate switch games?

Found smash/totk on fitgirl repacks but it uses yuzu which requires a switch. Not spending 300 on an ageing console atp, is there any workaround?

Yuzu doesn't require a switch. You just need a switch it to dump decription keys but you can find them online pretty easily The file are called prod.key
If you want to play the breath of the wild, it will run much better on the Wii emulator - Cemu. Also super easy to setup and you can find prepackaged on fit girl.
i think post can help you
- Wait so you have to pay for the keys?
you can use yuzu without owning a switch if you pirate the keys lol.
In what way does yuzu require a Switch? That hasn't been my experience.
- Its the legal way
- yuzu requires keys which you're supposed to officially dump from your own console. you can just pirate them.
- just reading off their site: Prerequisites A hackable Nintendo Switch console (preferably a model that is vulnerable to the fusée-gelée exploit). Visit Is My Switch Patched? to check if your console is not patched. A microSD card with at least 32 GB of storage capacity. 64 GB or higher is recommended. A USB-C to USB-A or USB-C to USB-C cable to connect your Switch to your computer.

  Fitgirl's repacks already contain the necessary files. These steps are unnecessary. There are also alternative ways of sourcing the files. :)
  
  That's just something they say because they love Nintendo's dick in their mouth.
You don't require a switch to use yuzu. You only require the keys and firmware which you also can get elsewhere.
you may need the latest versions Yuzu
It's pretty easy to do, especially on the steamdeck
- I want to support this. SteamDeck is amazing with enulation. Is it perfect? No! Occasional glitches and graphics issues, but a really handy and easy option.
i think can help you this site update Yuzu Prod
i think this site upload latest version can help you
You can get yuzu from their website, and the bios files and game roms from the usual suspects/ your favorite places online.
- ok, thank you. Only reason I've been asking is due to the fact that it takes over an hour to compile shaders on each boot so I thought I was missing something
  
  Update your Yuzu application to the latest version. It stopped recompiling for me and simple just loaded the shaders on every boot of the game. Boot times into the game went from ~45s to 2s every time.
You definitely can! I'm using Yuzu on Linux with an jurassic 1050Ti and it works perfectly. I basically play Mario Kart 8 and BotW (for now, TotK in the queue) and never touched an actual Switch in person (seriously! I'm Brazilian and these things are hell expensive here).
- yeah I get that, 300+ for something you're using for maybe 2 games makes no sense
  
  I don't want to spend 400 and more just to play miitopia 😭
