Proving once again that it’s time for emulator developers to publish code on a federated git platform with TOR capability.
Torzu is just that.
Website keeps plugging telegram, fuck that
No release’s though which means that’s our for the majority of users
Always prepare for a disaster. https://git.nadeko.net/Ryujinx_Mirror
Reminder: don’t put your code on a corporate-owned code forge like Microsoft GitHub. That corporation is interested in helping other corporations like what happened with
youtube-dl, et al. so don’t be surprised if your code get censored, or they aide in DCMAs (not to mention locking all of your communications & contributions to a proprietary platform that blocks users based on US sanctions). Use a nonprofit, or better, self-host your code forge—& set up mirrors to be resilient.Ryujinx was taken down by the author because they made a private agreement with Nintendo directly, GitHub was not involved.
This time. If the maker refused, Nintendo would have just told Microsoft to take it down & it would have happened.
There was no illegal code, no reason for Microsoft to take any action. There’s a reason this was not a DMCA.
inb4 the appearance of forks called buymiinx, suemiinx, and hijinx
Of course there will be dozens of forks. But there won’t be significant development on those forks (and there may be malware added to those forks…). Which means that ryujinx today is ryujinx until the end of time, most likely.
Like… how much meaningful development has been done to all those yuzu forks everyone was frantically making?
One day we’ll have Switch 2 Devs working from somewhere like Russia so Nintendo can’t send Pinkertons to their front door to enforce the plumber’s demands
They’ll never learn to do it proper like that.
I feel this was only a matter of time, as there is no legal way to dump your games, so emulating the Switch is a very gray area
Since when is it illegal to dump games? I understand distributing them being illegal but this is my own hardware, if I wanna dump BotW to my Deck I’m gonna dump it
