Comment on Nintendo has sent a DMCA notice to Ryujinx forks
mesamunefire@piefed.social 4 days agoWe 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.
