Fork yourself, nintendo!

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)

[–] EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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!

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.

[–] ultratiem@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] IllNess 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...

[–] sleepybisexual@beehaw.org 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Torrents people.

Say, anyone want a yuzu magnet

[–] AMDIsOurLord@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

Send me the link

Idk if it still works

Thoughts on Forgejo? Heard about that one for selfhosting git

[–] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 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.

[–] Yglorba@lemmy.dbzer0.com 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.)

I think a federated version should work....

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.

[–] Yglorba@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

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.
