Nintendo has sent four DMCA takedown notices to GitHub targeting two Nintendo Switch emulators, Yuzu and Citron Neo, along with mod chip firmware.
Nintendo is open season btw
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.
That the community still uses Github for anything but a mirror?
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
My games were digital so I don’t know how I would be able to make my own rom for emulation and I’m not really interested in giving Nintendo more money
If they were stored on an SD card, wouldn’t it be easier to get the files for emulation?
Just pirate the games. You already paid for them, so morally it should be fine. And legally, downloading without uploading is safe everywhere on the planet.
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.
And even if they were, a new repository for it would pop up in a month tops.
Nintendo: Part time game company Full time law firm
mfw i made a switch emulator but i host it on corpo run repositories.
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
When you cut off one head of the Hydra three more will take its place
Been using Eden and it’s been flawless so far
until we can stop this 👇, that 👆will continue to happen.
I don’t understand. Is it a problem that people are buying the game through the proper channels?
I didn’t read it as a call for piracy so much as a call for boycotting a shitty company. People are pretty bad at that though.
Not me, but that’s mostly cause I’m poor and enjoy the n64 too much to bother with some newfangled version, lol.
People are great at boycotting stuff they don’t like. They are just bad at convincing millions of others that they should not play the games they like because the company making them is overly litigious.
you’re spot on.
don’t let the haters change your mind.
boycott Nintendo for their shitty overzealous business practices.
We should all stop buying games and instead pirate all of them. That’ll make game companies make more games for sure!
Any mirrors out there?
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.
