Nintendo sent a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notice for over 8,000 GitHub repositories hosting code from the Yuzu Switch emulator, which the Zelda maker previously described as enabling “piracy at a colossal scale.”
WTF - Rest in peace… I hope no one has to pay any legal fees. Wish you all the best!
If Nintendo stays consistent, they went after Yuzu because they were accepting donations. They went after ROM sites that had advertising. They left everyone else alone if they aren’t making money off their games. Right now Ryujinx has a Patreon page…
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!

I hope this doesn’t spread out towards other emulators just as a matter of “principle” (by Nintendo’s definition)
Yeah totally worried for Ryujinx. I don’t see how they can survive.

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.
