Stop hosting all your shit on a corporate owned platform.
I am surprised there isn’t a torrent version of Yuzu.
A magnet string would be unstoppable.Pretty sure I found one, can magnet strings be posted here?
Trouble is that people want to continue working on it.
Seeing how determined nintendo is, I think the only long term solution would probably be to continue development on a code forge hosted as a hidden service. Either Tor or I2P.
Yes, it won’t be easy to use, especially for those who are not familiar with this tech, but I expect these to be much more harder for nintendo to take down.Since they’re not breaking any laws, they shouldn’t be getting their code taken down anyways.
This could be grounds for a lawsuit.
, can magnet strings be posted here?
Err on the side of caution, don’t post it. This comm is already in hot water on multiple instances.

There is and I’m maybe seeding
Suyu hosts their own repo
Unless the donations continue to flow, that repo won’t last forever because hosting and serving data isn’t free.
Eh, you can host a gitea instance on a $3.50 VPS pretty easily. I don’t think money will be an issue when it comes to hosting and serving.
I got one of these. I dont understand why theyre going after us now. I thought their issue was all the money they were making off of “promoting piracy”.

I recently found out about Softwareheritage, they also have yuzu mirrored.
Meanwhile ryujinx be like “nothing to see here”
IANAL, but they should be fine since they aren’t decrypting / breaking DRM they same way Yuzu was. They are a much cleaner codebase, much more similar to mGBA and Dolphin.
But did yuzu actually break DRM? I thought that if I dumped my own game and keys with a modded (1st gen) switch and feed all of that into yuzu, nothing illegal would be going on.
I don’t believe Yuzu went to court, but that was the accusation Nintendo was suing them over. Ryujinx wasn’t sued, so Nintendo either didn’t believe they had done the same, or didn’t care. We didn’t get to have a discovery process for the case to find out for sure, so we don’t know.
iirc it was yuzu who linked tools to do it, but the application itself didnt do it. Yuzus main problem was often linking to resources and advertising stuff, and partially locking it behind a paywall.
They allegedly also advertised that newegames, like TotK was running better on the EA builds and there’s the suspicion that the yuzu team also distributed the keys via torrents. All of these are just allegations, though.
The paywall as far as I know isn’t that much of problem. Cemu has/had a paywall for years. Several other, though less successful, emulators have had paywalled content/early access as well. The BLEEM emulator that was brought to court was a paid commercial product. So that currently is perfectly legal within the jurisdiction of those cases. Nintendo’s case against Yuzu was about piracy/DRM circumvention. That wasn’t brought to court, so we don’t know the outcome however.
Ryujinx wasn’t sued, so Nintendo either didn’t believe they had done the same, or didn’t care.
Ryujinx is nowhere near as popular as Yuzu, so that probably has a lot to do with it.
Why there’s no decentralized github-like ?
Git is already decentralised. Every github-like is interoperable with every other github-like. But just because something works together with many others doesn’t makes it invulnerable to legal takedowns. Nintendo is a gaming company. They have no problems playing whack-a-mole, as demonstrated here.
I think there’s a difference between distributed and decentralised. But apart from that 👍
Yeah, but Nintendo hasn’t won a lawsuit, which means the code isn’t illegal to share. They just convinced GitHub to take it down.
There’s are a few, but they’re pretty new. Codeberg / Forejo seems to be the most popular, at the moment.
But it’s not yet federalized. I host my forgejo instance but others can’t yet create issues there.
I’ve been kinda low key waiting for federation on Feorejo to move most of my personal projects off of GitHub. I’ve been busy anyway, so I guess, for me, it’s a race between their clever devs and my procrastinating…
I’m so excited for it. Forgejo is by itself fully usable, but I want to be able to federate stuff.
- Forgejo: But ForgeFed, it’s federation software is still under development
- Radicle: But they have unnecessary ties with crypto stuff
Check out forgejo. While git is „decentralized“ it is not discoverable. Forgejo is pretty much there afaik using ap protocol.
I just hope the Citra forks won’t be targeted. Citra was only killed as collateral damage, but I still can’t help but be nervous anyway…
Bro, they have to stop!
