Comment on Nintendo has sent a DMCA notice to Ryujinx forks

  We are literally in a thread about a takedown in GH. But if you go to other sites, they have the repo up.

  Suyu, Nuzu, Uzuy, Torzu, and Sudachi have all been taken down. Youtube-dl got taken down until public outcry. The number of takedowns since 2022 have only increased over the years. 2024 being the highest amount.

  I'm glad the repos above are not yet being taken down, I truly am. But GitHub is just Microsoft at the end of the day.

  We are also literally on platforms (Lemmy/piefed) that have chosen codeberg over GitHub for their main git hosting.

    The issue is more with recent consoles e.g. Switch and Ps5/xbox

    Well…If you want to emulate current gen, prepare to deal with consequences.
    I believe Sony/MS turn a sort of blind eye to emulators of old gen if they arent hurting sales and being egregious with their presence (e.g. promote what it can do rather than word of mouth)

      I think your right as well. Most manufacturers don't actively go after such projects unless they hit the bottom line.

      Notable exceptions are old licenced games that may hit rerelease and someone came up with a way to decomp it. The policies are all over the place.

  Probably just a case of the corporate lawyers haven’t noticed those ones yet.

    Bruh what? 💀 I chose the highest-profile and arguably best emulators for each major system, let alone that almost every other modern one uses GitHub too. If all of these emulators are flying under the corporate radar, I will deliberately inject myself with rabies and die a slow, agonizing death. I couldn’t come up with this shit if I got cross-faded on meth and fentanyl.

    Simply untrue.

    These are known, and you’d better believe Nintendo knows everything there is to know about each and every emulator that exists. They tried pressuring the team behind Cemu years ago, but it ended up being pointless.

    Some of these are years and years and years old.

    Nah… I suspect that Sony simply doesn’t want to anger hackers again. The cost of downtime is likely to be higher than the imaginary profits they get from harassing emulator communities. I doubt they think their reputation is worth much but maybe they have started to see some value on it.

    Japanese gaming companies often don’t seem to understand the value of the reputation / honor which is really weird considering that it’s one of the things japanese culture is supposed to value.
