+SMO - `1.2.0` || BOTW - `1.1.0` || Splatoon 2 - `3.2.0` +{{< /message >}} +{{< message "Surprise!" >}} +*The Legend of Zelda - Breath of The Wild, now boots with updates and DLC enabled.* +{{< /message >}} + +### Then? + +Thanks to the efforts of our developer [DarkLordZach](https://github.com/DarkLordZach), we now have an open source replacement of the service in yuzu. +By emulating the `BCAT` service at a high-level, yuzu is able to intercept the game's calls to Nintendo's servers and reroute them to yuzu's servers. +This means that games running on yuzu, will now check for new content on yuzu's servers instead of Nintendo's. + +This allows us to add new in-game content for games that use this service. +For the inaugural run, our team members have added some cool content across different games which you can check out [here](https://yuzu-emu.org/help/feature/boxcat/). +We will have new events occasionally, so users will have even more fun while playing games on yuzu. + +{{< imgs + "./boxcat.png|Boxcat Settings Configuration" +>}} + +### When? + +We will be testing this feature in our Patreon preview builds first and it will be available to Canary users in the near future. + +We would like to take this opportunity to ask that our users show their support by subscribing to our [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/yuzuteam). + +By subscribing to our Patreon, you will be creating more incentive for developers to spend even more time working on yuzu. +For example - Using Patreon funds, several internal bounties have been setup, which have lead to various new features or fixes you might have seen on our [GitHub](https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu) or our [Discord](https://discord.gg/u77vRWY). + +{{< message "Want more information on Boxcat?" >}} +Refer to our help page for Boxcat. +https://yuzu-emu.org/help/feature/boxcat/ +{{< /message >}} + +### Fin! + +We thank all of our 300+ patrons for their continued love and support. +We thank the entire yuzu community for the love and support they have shown to the project. +We will be working even more diligently to bring many more new, and exciting features in the future.
+Keep playing on yuzu, and have fun! + +  +
