It seems like a better strategy would be to host this on the dark net. When working on projects like this, they need to start putting effort into making it so that it’s almost impossible to link them to real life people. People sell drugs on there all the time and seem to get away with it. Maybe we need to adapt.
We need an “Illegal software github” kind of like pirate sites but for source code that governments and corporations don’t want people to have.
Shitty thing is, emulators and emulation themself aren’t ilegall.
What nintendo attacked here is the fact yuzu was used to play copies of games for their still used and developed for system, doesn’t matter whether it was pirated or not to them, all they care about is the fact that it was a current gen system emulator and they didn’t like that fact because they think it hurts their sales.
Yes, absolutely. I’m sure experienced, qualified developers are clamoring to invest thousands of hours of work into a fork of a project hosted exclusively in a space only a fraction of a percent of the online world will ever access. I love the “fuck corpos” attitude from this community, I really do. But Yuzu development is dead. Super dead. Nintendo killed it and all the other emulator teams and game publishers are looking at it thinking about what’s next.

Big companies are probably better at finding people than law enforcement is
