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’d like to read through the full interview, you can use this link. It’s a lengthy chat this time, so maybe grab a cup of tea or coffee for it!

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!

    I assume they don’t mention that it’s a yuzu fork in order to not poke the bear (nintendo).

      Which… is honestly really shit to the actual yuzu devs who put the work in. And it isn’t like Nintendo is going to say “Wow, that really good emulator might not be the one we had taken down. Let’s actively not look and instead cry into our money”. If they want it down, they’ll look for a reason. And then REALLY quickly see it is the same codebase they had removed already.
