Good day, yuzu fans!
|
|
Today we bring you another exciting Switch feature which will create opportunities, for new in-game content across various games!
|
|
Without further ado, let's get started!
|
|
<!--more-->
|
|
|
|
### What?
|
|
|
|
Yes, you heard that correctly.
|
|
New in-game content across various games, with events held occasionally.
|
|
|
|
### How?
|
|
|
|
The Nintendo Switch has a network service called `BCAT`, using which games can add new content dynamically, i.e. new content without updating the game itself.
|
|
Nintendo can push new content to various games via this service, whenever it wants.
|
|
Some examples of this type of content would be - Super Mario Odyssey hints, Super Mario Odyssey costumes, and Splatoon 2 items.
|
|
|
|
{{< message Note >}}
|
|
**Users should possess the following versions of the games at minimum.** <br>
|
|
SMO - `1.2.0` || BOTW - `1.1.0` || Splatoon 2 - `3.2.0`

|
*The Legend of Zelda - Breath of The Wild, now boots with updates and DLC enabled.*

|
|
|
|
### 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.

|
### 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).

We will be working even more diligently to bring many more new, and exciting features in the future. <br>
