WTF - Rest in peace… I hope no one has to pay any legal fees. Wish you all the best!
Torrents people.
Say, anyone want a yuzu magnet
Let the infinite forking on infinite platforms commence.

So which github projects are interesting?
Fork yourself, nintendo!
Stop using GitHub. Especially if you’re working on anything that corpo interests will frown on, but just generally, there are plenty of alternatives (both git and non-git) that aren’t owned by Microsoft.
The reasons cited here are… not really convincing

Well it’s probably cheaper than to innovate on the hardware front (display, performance, Joy-Cons, etc.) . And since they have an insane amount of money, it think they can keep doing this for quite some time…

I mean it’s easy to shit on the switch now that it’s a 7 year old console, and don’t get me wrong the joycon drift is fuckin ridiculous, but the switch was kinda impressive when it came out.
It was underpowered when it came out and didn’t introduce anything their other consoles didnt already have (nor have I ever seen someone use half the features).
What’s really impressive is the devs making games for it, showing off how much the mobile gaming market is holding us back by making Candy Crush Soda Ultra Supermax
and didn’t introduce anything their other consoles didnt already have (nor have I ever seen someone use half the features).
I don’t remember undocking my PS4 to play it on the go.
But you may have with your Gameboy, gameboy advanced, Ds, dsi, dsiXL, 2ds, 3ds, wiiu, PSP, or PSP vita.
And if you consider a portable HDMI output important, laptops and phones could do this probably half a decade before the switch came out
You can’t compare Wii U because it has to be super close to the console and not all games could be played on the game pad. Unless the Vita had HDMI output then this was definitely a new feature of game consoles. Maybe you can compare NetBooks to the Switch if you’re being generous but laptops and phones are a totally different form factor.

It is almost a zero cost. They already have the legal-ish ruling. It is just filling out a form letter and sending it out.

You don’t need a lawyer to file a DMCA request. You just need to be ready to get one if someone disputes it.
And Nintendo almost definitely have lawyers on retainer, if not in house. The added cost of this is the effort it takes to search github for “uzu” and send an email.
There are law firms that work on contract specifically to do this work. And it’s not like the senior partner is doing it repo by repo, it’s a junior paralegal searching GitHub for “yuzu.cpp” or whatever and filing one big takedown request for all the results.
Thoughts on Forgejo? Heard about that one for selfhosting git
Is there a p2p based equivalent?
I don’t even know how would that work, but seems something that would fit here.
I think a federated version should work…
I mean, the alternative is Ryujinx, which Nintendo has for some reason ignored for now.
(Ryujinx’s devs are much more cautious about things like banning any references to piracy in their discord and avoiding anything that could look like getting money in exchange for access, both of which may have given them less legal exposure.)
I hope this doesn’t spread out towards other emulators just as a matter of “principle” (by Nintendo’s definition)
This is why I keep a physical backup of all my emulator installers on an external hard drive. They get rid of some emulators, I still got my personal copies!
Yeah I’ve been playing Pokemon Sacred Gold on my phone, really gives me GBC pipes with the size and everything it’s like childhood all over.
I have the emulator and the games on my pc and my phone though so fuck Nintendo.
I’m playing a 15 year old game someone improved upon that I already owned on hardware I can’t buy anymore.
Yeah totally worried for Ryujinx. I don’t see how they can survive.
