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!
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.)
Here’s a link to an instance of radicle for Yuzu. It’s a p2p git server implementation. I haven’t looked too much into it yet, but the tech seems interesting.

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…
