Nintendo’s legal team has clarified that the legality of emulators depends heavily on how they are used, as revealed in a recent statement addressing the ongoing debate around video game emulation.

Without continued development though, new games are likely to have an increasing number of issues running on either emulator.

Even Starlink: Battle for Atlas, the closest thing to a Star Fox game on the Switch (can't just get another version of it, since the Star Fox DLC is Switch-exclusive), crashes in both Yuzu and Ryujinx, something I'd hoped would eventually be fixed before the emulators were taken down.

Apologies, both have forks that are actively maintained...if you know where to look. And this is a public place, so im not going to say where. I know that sucks, but the lawyers can look anywhere...and lemmy is just as "safe" as discord like last time.

No idea if those specific issues got fixed, but devs did fix an issue with the new paper mario somewhat recently.
