They can’t stop us all!
Time to play whack-a-mole. And the moles are pissed.
But the main repo: https://github.com/Ryubing/Ryujinx Is still up. They write that Ryujinx circumvents their copyright, so why aren’t they taking down the main repo?
Did these forks provide prodkeys?
Reading the takedown it sounds like just having the decryption code itself counts as “circumvention”. I feel like emulators would be a lot safer if game decryption was a separate codebase. Then the emulator would be free to develop while Nintendo plays whack a mole with tiny easily remade decryption repos that just take your key and the file and decrypt it.
Hell ryujinx could even detect that you have the decryptor installed and automatically call it when needed, or it could be bundled during packaging but separate in development like how Bluray decryption is distributed in a separately library but can be used by for eg. VLC.
Reading the takedown does imply that, but why didn’t the biggest repo also get nuked then? I just find it strange.
That repo doesn’t, hell it mentions that you need to dump them yourself not even mentioning the possibility of other means.
Not sure about the others though.
Yeah, I was asking if the forks that got nuked got nuked because they had keys. Although, it seems like in the note that Nintendo has an issue with the decryption code also.
I feel like the decryption code is probably one of those keys.
Why the hell would you maintain the original name when you know Nintendo is chasing forks?
SEO. It really is not a big problem to spin up another repo with the same name. Takes time for Nintendo to create a new DMCA and people can find the emu quickly still. Figuring out which new name was chosen every 6-12 months would be harder than just making a new repo every 3 months.
I wonder if you could search based on their latest sha prior to the fork.
Then again anything that makes it easier to find makes it an easier target for Nintendo.
Hahaha, we’re doing this one again? Alrighty. Nintendo is really banking on a charitability for US DMCA law that hosting services in other countries may no longer have. This is going to get harder for them very quickly I think.
here we go again…
Viva C*****!
