    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.

    I hope this doesn’t spread out towards other emulators just as a matter of “principle” (by Nintendo’s definition)

        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.

      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…

    Is there a p2p based equivalent?

    I don’t even know how would that work, but seems something that would fit here.

      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.)

    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.
