Just one of many "forks" we'll see pop up over the next few months. Maybe this one has actual developers involved and isn't just a repo, but it's too be seen. Funny name, though.
I love the name lol
(Obv. not legal advice) Step 1: Create non profit for "supporting emulation" Step 2: Use non profit to support devs by helping them create llc's for their emulators (cause no liability on the persons) Step 4: Whenever nintendo sues (and maybe wins), help them regroup under a new llc Step 5: whatch them play whack-a-mole
Step 6: (non-)profit.
Nintendo competing to get the most evil corporation award from activision.
They'll release a new Mario game and everyone will forget
You mean they'll re-release a 30 year old game and charge the same price as a brand new game?
Nah, their games are amazing, credit where credit is due. The problem with Nintendo is everything else.
I'm not saying their games are bad. I'm just suggesting Mario 64 is due for another re-release at full price.
Its only been 3 years since they re-released it (bundled with two other games). Wasn't that like a 17 year gap from the last time they released Mario 64 and skipping two generations? If so, next time should be late Switch 3 or Switch 4 and it'll also include 3D world and Odyssey for full price. And given 3D all-stars was $15 cheaper than the original Mario 64, inflation adjusted, would the next be half the price?
Those loyal fans love sucking off Nintendo and defending every decision they make even when it fucks them in the ass in the long run.

Lots of optimism for Yuzu living on in some fork of the code, but I don't expect it will be that simple. Qualified new devs will not be likely to invest anywhere near the time and energy the original devs have. If they're smart, they'll avoid taking direct donations, which means the project will at best be a side hobby. Switch emulation will become a lot harder to document if development fragments into smaller forks. Not sure if a game is compatible or what settings to use? Maybe you'll find some recommended settings for Yuzu Fork A, but not Fork G you set up because it has better compatibility with another game you were interested in. Information is going to be confusing, inaccurate, and inconsistent as the scene goes underground. Links and other sources won't be as trustworthy or safe. What was once a fun and easy way to play games will become a risk and a chore. I'm glad there are immediate efforts to get the project back online, but I can't see this settlement as anything less than a massive blow to emulation and game preservation as a whole. Decades of legal precedent that developers have relied on to safely do their work is being thrown out. Things are objectively worse now than they were before. We are already exiting the golden age of emulation.
All those people act like an emulator is easy work. It's more like a full time job.
Maybe they should start a patreon
Switch emulation is not going anywhere, and will likely continue to be built off the foundations laid by Yuzu.
The biggest takeaway from this is I imagine Nintendo had the devs dead to rights on promoting piracy directly, rather than focusing on only communicating how to play legitimate back-ups only.
So going forward any smart dev-team would make sure to wait for a game to launch before producing an updated version to support it, as well as being vigilant that all communication through official channels avoids any discussion that enables piracy or directly links to a secondary source that does so.

Anyone know the source for this ?
One Piece?
Thanks. I dont know if I have the time for 1000 episodes though 😅
Don't go to OnePace Dot Net. It is an abridged version of One Piece with the same pacing as the manga, but its distribution is illegal due to copyright.
Fuck you Nintendo you absolute cunts. Won't ever get another penny from me
Introducing Uzuy, with torrent based updating. Eat shit, Nintendo.
At least the code is open source..
I downloaded the repository as soon as I saw the lawsuit. Dunno what to do with it, but it's there lol.
It sure would be a shame if someone put the source code up on a popular torrenting site and flipped off Nintendo…

Nintendo being Nintendo. They've killed websites, device vendors, projects and more. Otherwise Liksang and Bung would still be around. They take the same destroyer of worlds tactic to any meetings. Crush the opposition, no survivors.
This time I think the internet may surprise them, unless they just get a blanket order on anyone hosting copies of the code or related materiels.
Fo' shuzu, my nuzu.
Git forked, newb
Look forward to them using the code in their new product and not giving two shits about the oss license. Again.
Anyone know what nostalgia resale era they're into? N64 I would guess.. gotta make sure everything sells for $70 or more for all time.
Nintendo is past their era of selling the same games to you over and over. Now their old games are subscription based, so you can never stop paying them and never own your childhood classics.
Yo ho. I think you may be right me matey 🏴☠️🦜

Codeberg is a collaboration platform providing Git hosting and services for free and open source software, content and projects.
The organization selected the European Union for their headquarters and computer infrastructure, due to members' concerns that a software project repository hosted in the United States could be removed if a malicious actor made bad faith copyright claims under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
In June 2022 the Software Freedom Conservancy's "Give Up Github" campaign (in response to the GitHub Copilot licensing controversy) promoted Codeberg as an alternative to GitHub.
Here comes the hydra.
