As a general reminder, self hosting your own git repo or hosting it on a private VPS is incredibly cheap. You can then have it cloned to new github/bitbucket whenever these sweeps happen. Using a fork as a 'backup' is pointless if it's still hosted on Github no matter how many thousand copies are made. Microsoft will throw you and everyone in your commit history under a bus at the whims of Nintendo's lawyers.

They never learn not to use GitHub.

At this point you assume a Nintendo DMCA and/or lawsuit or you are a moron. I know several of these groups are using private gits.

A new Yuzu or is this including old ass news? Yuzu was the first major one to get taken down, which prompted hella people to fork it into a billion different spin offs. It's not even currently the most feature complete emu; one of the Ryujynx forks is.

Too bad I’m still using my copy of Yuzu that they “took down “ two years ago

When you cut off one head of the Hydra three more will take its place

Emulators are legal as long as you don't ship keys or weird shit, if GitHub takes them down even when no law was broken, then use another provider, GitHub is Microsoft and runs like shit.

Been using Eden and it's been flawless so far

They are slow. I expected that to happen way faster. But yeah, pretty much what everyone knew would happen actually happened. I don't get what it is with people hosting that stuff on GitHub. By now it's safe to assume they know that it's taken down.

Nintendo: Part time game company Full time law firm

That the community still uses Github for anything but a mirror?

There is such news article every few months and yet no relevant emulators are down.

I bet it’s a PR stunt but I have no idea who it could be aimed at.

Nintendo is open season btw

Any mirrors out there?

Stop hosting this stuff on GitHub people!

My games were digital so I don't know how I would be able to make my own rom for emulation and I'm not really interested in giving Nintendo more money

mfw i made a switch emulator but i host it on corpo run repositories.

its very easy to use forgejo or radical to host your code. Fuck corpos piracy ftw

For anyone who self hosts as opposed to using a provider, how do you manage the danger of all the zero days from the software that your are using? To me the biggest reason that I would use github is because they have a dedicated reaponae team for managing patches, whereas I might be on vacation when my server is getting hacked to shit

Why the F we're still hosting grey market on github I'll never know.

Should just take all that shit over to RNSgit and host it on the dark side

until we can stop this 👇, that 👆will continue to happen.

edit: if only Nintendo would get this much hate 🤣

protest Nintendo or stop complaining about them taking actions against individuals.

Oh no my aliexpress and gitlab.

"Why do my possesions keep getting stolen from the Mafia-owned storage locker?"

Fit girl owns you Nintendo bahahah

I'm still under the understanding that any self-respecting reverse engineer, jailbreak, emulator, or modchip developer isn't running their stuff over GitHub, so therefore, if it was on GitHub in the first place, it wasn't worth using.

Like, with how many times GitHub has just caved at the weakest of arguments, I don't see how anyone working serious about a project is still using them.
