Stop using GitHub. Especially if you're working on anything that corpo interests will frown on, but just generally, there are plenty of alternatives (both git and non-git) that aren't owned by Microsoft.

The reasons cited here are… not really convincing

I hope this doesn't spread out towards other emulators just as a matter of "principle" (by Nintendo's definition)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah totally worried for Ryujinx. I don’t see how they can survive.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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...

Torrents people.

Say, anyone want a yuzu magnet

I don't give a rat's dick about Nintendo and their shitty games and I will torrent it out of pure spite

Idk if it still works

Thoughts on Forgejo? Heard about that one for selfhosting git

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

Is there a p2p based equivalent?

I don't even know how would that work, but seems something that would fit here.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I think a federated version should work....

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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.)

As the article mentions, they're releasing the Switch successor soon. I suspect the real reason for this push is to try and scare people off from developing an emulator for that one, at least during the lifetime of the console - it's a bit late to try and kill Switch emulation given that nearly fully-functional emulators already exist.
