Don't use GitHub for these projects.

Eden is still up and rolling though.

If someone has a recent archive of the git repo I'll happily add it onto my git server.

Edit: nevermind I found git bundles on archive.org, so now skyline is here. I've also set up mirrors for some of the other skyline-emu repos but those are probably safer

Edit 2: fixed typo and add link to skyline-dev. Also did you know you can access the GitHub repo's old commits if you know/guess a commit? https://github.com/skyline-emu/skyline/tree/bdf73aa20d4fffc41e7be4ad906521c920ab68c0

Fuck Nintendo

Just keep rlusibg it but every time they do a sweep, just upload twice as many next time lmao.

Specifically, these Nintendo Switch emulators illegally circumvent Nintendo’s TPMs in order to run illegal copies of Nintendo Switch games.

I mean, sure, that's what they do when people use them for that. 🤷 I can play Game Boy games in my browser, should we take down all the browsers, too?

[–] jasoman@lemmy.world 52 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nintendo would say yes I bet

[–] Anivia@feddit.org 7 points 3 weeks ago

How would Nintendo download their pirated ROMs to sell to their customers without a browser though?

I can run emulators in Windows. Nintendo better do something about that!

Also copyright infringement isn't a criminal charge wtf.

[–] gingernate@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It is in the USA

BROWSER BAD >:( GRRRR

400 more heads on the hydra

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 24 points 3 weeks ago

Well I think Nintendo is illegally an asshole and should fuck off and get back to making games

[–] lemmyng@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

Remember when Nintendo threw a hissy fit for Steam wanting to host Dolphin officially on their store?

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

The net effect of this kind of takedown action is going to be these groups going underground and then no longer playing nice with Nintendo and simply destroying their DRM.
