How unsurprising, Ninty going full IP Godzilla again, even lashing out at some of the fanbase patronizing its games.
Yuzu? Wasn't Yuzu already dead, and the main fork is Eden?
Eden moved their project from GitHub to something else, I think, because Nintendo already tried screwing with them.

Why the F we're still hosting grey market on github I'll never know.
Should just take all that shit over to RNSgit and host it on the dark side
I wasn't familiar with this, and apparently neither was duckduckgo. Is this what you were referring to? https://reticulum.network/manual/git.html
It looks interesting, thanks for putting me on to it!
That is exactly it.
Reticulum is a decentralized, mostly anonymous, encrypted network.
rnsgit let's you host git repos on it.
nomadnet let's you make 1990's style webpages on it.
There are proxies and vpns and messaging (LXMF) and telephony (LXST)
Neat! Thanks!
Stop hosting this stuff on GitHub people!
They are slow. I expected that to happen way faster. But yeah, pretty much what everyone knew would happen actually happened. I don't get what it is with people hosting that stuff on GitHub. By now it's safe to assume they know that it's taken down.
Too bad I’m still using my copy of Yuzu that they “took down “ two years ago
FYI, Eden is a fork of yuzu that adds quite a lot of features and is fully compatible with yuzu saves/mods/configs.
My favorite new feature is loading updates and DLC from a folder instead of having to install them.
Coool I’ll have to check it out
its very easy to use forgejo or radical to host your code. Fuck corpos piracy ftw
Emulators are legal as long as you don't ship keys or weird shit, if GitHub takes them down even when no law was broken, then use another provider, GitHub is Microsoft and runs like shit.
It also uses 220 MB of memory per tab. A laggy manga reader site with tons of pictures uses 80 MB. How do they even do this? My line isn't that fast!
100k div soup and 200k npm libraries would do it
Div soup tables should be illegal. 😡
Nintendo: Part time game company Full time law firm
Nintendo is open season btw
Open season to "steal" their shit.
None of their games would be hard to fast-follow with AI. You'd lose the actual IP, but it would irritate the hell out of them
For anyone who self hosts as opposed to using a provider, how do you manage the danger of all the zero days from the software that your are using? To me the biggest reason that I would use github is because they have a dedicated reaponae team for managing patches, whereas I might be on vacation when my server is getting hacked to shit
Don't expose your stuff publicly and it's pretty much a non-issue. There's no reason your private git server needs to be accessible from the web. If you need to access it when you're away from home, you can just connect back to your network with a VPN or SSH tunnel and then access your services like normal.
You put layers Like an onion
So you put cloudflare or tailscale or netbird or whatever infront of your thing. So you need at least two zero days for different products to be immediately fucked
I used to self host externally but keeping up with all the security just became exhausting after awhile. I pulled it all back behind a VPN, been so much nicer after. my containers still patch nightly, which up until now hasn't been an issue. Then i patch and reboot the actual servers quarterly. not so bad. So i would suggest if you are self hosting to not expose to the internet at all.
As a general reminder, self hosting your own git repo or hosting it on a private VPS is incredibly cheap. You can then have it cloned to new github/bitbucket whenever these sweeps happen. Using a fork as a 'backup' is pointless if it's still hosted on Github no matter how many thousand copies are made. Microsoft will throw you and everyone in your commit history under a bus at the whims of Nintendo's lawyers.
You may not want to do that for the same reason Microsoft doesn't wasn't to do that.
Capitulating to Nintendo's lawyers only serves to silence individual rights to reverse engineer, repair, or modify devices consumers have legal ownership of, which Microsoft also has a commercial interest in abusing. Keep in mind that a DMCA request is not evidence of wrong doing, however few have the legal resources to contest it.
Microsoft's interests are not being sued. If you wanna take on that responsibility, have at it. Most people don't for the sake of video games.
You self host gitlab-ce to avoid dmca’s from mega corps.
I self host gitlab-ce so that no one can see all of my shitty commits.
We are not the same.
That the community still uses Github for anything but a mirror?
They never learn not to use GitHub.
There is such news article every few months and yet no relevant emulators are down.
I bet it’s a PR stunt but I have no idea who it could be aimed at.
The PR stunt is aimed at the news cycle that's been gobbling up engagement-baited comments from absolutely everyone by showing off OOT Remake on PC (via emulators or the recomp). Seriously, it's catnip for clickbait. You get all of the following Very Engaged:
-
Nintendo fanboys (this is why nintendo is justified to do takedowns!)
-
PC Master Race / Sony fanboys (lol nintendo got owned!)
-
Anti-AI guys (all the current OOT stuff is vibe coded and that's terrible)
-
Pro-AI guys (all the current OOT stuff is vibe coded and that's awesome)
All for the headline that implies you can play the shiniest new nostalgia bait Nintendo game on PC as easily and well as on the shiny new Nintendo console, which isn't even the case the way it was the last time a Zelda emulation fiasco overtook the games news sphere.
mfw i made a switch emulator but i host it on corpo run repositories.
When you cut off one head of the Hydra three more will take its place
At this point you assume a Nintendo DMCA and/or lawsuit or you are a moron. I know several of these groups are using private gits.
Been using Eden and it's been flawless so far
A new Yuzu or is this including old ass news? Yuzu was the first major one to get taken down, which prompted hella people to fork it into a billion different spin offs. It's not even currently the most feature complete emu; one of the Ryujynx forks is.
I'd assume some useless forks that weren't renamed or active. Or redundant secondary mirrors.
The active Switch 1 repos are all self hosted now:
Ryujinx continuations:
https://git.ryujinx.app/projects/Kenji-NX
Still active.
https://git.ryujinx.app/Ryubing
Edit 2: Ryubing is maintenance mode, dormant.
Yuzu continuations:
https://git.eden-emu.dev/eden-emu/eden
Edit: i think suyu fork is maybe dead.
I'm surprised Nintendo isn't going after all the Switch 2 slopulators or static recompiles yet. I don't think they violate DMCA because they work differently, not decrypting anything or using keys, but it's Microsoft in the USA.
