| The outcome was obvious. Anyway, the team behind Yuzu is still at large and the development will continue elsewhere, from aside, like in older days of emulation. Not everything has to default to GitHub, and not everything can. |

| Hosting in GitHub is a terrible approach for these kind of projects, I don't get why this is the norm when the outcome is so often the same. |
| |
| ▲ | sli a day ago | parent [-] | | It's because slews of these emulators are vibecoded and the maintainers don't have much experience, if any. All of the serious efforts host their own code. |

| Their goal is almost certainly to keep the practice of running current gen console games outside their console fringe. So they don't need to stamp it out completely. Pushing it further underground is good enough. |

| ▲ | rustyhancock a day ago | parent [-] | | It's a bit late though as far as I can see NX2Navi the static recompiler for the ocarina of time remake is still up and being updated. This seems mostly them whipping their layers who respond by doing what they can, not necessarily what Nintendo actually wants. It's firmware for modchips? But the modchips are still being sold, installed and the people involved have access to the firmware. |

| The new hotness these days is Lichii, which also supports Switch 2. |

| ▲ | sneurlax 15 hours ago | parent [-] | | thanks for that lineage, TMYK | | |
| ▲ | starshadowx2 12 hours ago | parent [-] | | There's a bunch of different Eglantine forks around right now (and a few other non-Eden based), different ones can sometimes be better for specific games. |

| > the team behind Yuzu is still at large Huh? Sure no one got imprisoned but virtually all Yuzu developers stopped contributing to emulation entirely after the lawsuit. New people came up but few of them are driven by the same passion as the old guard, so collective knowledge and experience fell off a cliff as a result. Progress continues (much slower than before), but it's strange to claim things move forward like nothing happened. |

| I think AI is going to make some kind of p2p github style decentralization closer to reality. The gap is the unique identifier vs the hash identifier and identity/signature management. But the tools are all there to create some kind of dark web, especially as the real web is going to be flooded with garbage. |

| ▲ | lilbigdoot 2 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Is there anything like bittorrent for github repos? That was always the appeal of people exploring shared compute and storage on crypto networks, it was overhyped and burdened by the financial speculation (though I imagine it also helped fund development), because the cool thing for me was people trying to build resilient distributed systems that protect from these kinds of issues | | | |

| ▲ | cowlevel a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Anyone can DMCA anything for anything. The relevant factor is how likely different providers in the chain are to respond drastically to bullshit requests. For instance if I sent a DMCA to HN insisting that your comment violated my copyright, they'd probably ignore it, or ban my account. | |
| ▲ | hermitdev a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | Nintendo doesn't have a fucking clue what you have locally until you publish it for the world to see. Until you host it somewhere remote, there is nothing to DMCA. |
