With a single DMCA notice, Nintendo wiped out 4,238 emulator repos on the anniversary of the Yuzu lawsuit that made such takedowns easier.
A single DMCA anti-circumvention notice, sent by Nintendo on the one-year anniversary of its 2024 lawsuit against Yuzu, showed just how much things can change in a year. Targeting nine repos linked to Switch emulator Ryujinx, the domino effect led to the removal of 4,238 repos. Elsewhere, the distilled components of Yuzu’s demise can be found in recent takedown notices
I hacked my Switch right after Nintendo pulled that Yuzu BS, so it’s been jailbroken for one year now and the last time I gave any money to Nintendo was in May 2023 for Tears of the Kingdom. I recently updated it to the newest firmware in preparation for Xenoblade Chronicles X this month. No updated emulators? No problem!
