I wanted to see the case on court tho
i havent read the documents but i assume this would be in japanese courts, where it pretty much a guaranteed loss on yuzu's part.
It is actually in the US court. The documents are quite interesting to read.
there could have been a chance then. no shame on the devs though. that is a costly battle to fight.
Considering they were making enough to agree to pay 2.4 million to Nintendo, they were making bank of the emulator.
If it went to court, this would've been much much higher.
Over on Hackernews, a dev from a German emulator project that Nintendo shut down was saying that their settlement included a similarly large sum of money, but it was only actually to be paid if the other conditions of the settlement weren't met, and that if they were, the "debt" was dropped after x years, basically insurance to ensure compliance.
