thankfully it appears that this only affects github repositories, any emulator not on github is just fine, including ones that just have mirrors. maybe a troll? it's happened in the past with romhacks.

@beardalaxy or maybe they’re just going after GitHub because it’s the big fish

@pettanko when nintendo went after yuzu/citra and ryujinx they did so very pointedly. they really wanted those emulators gone. there are so many forks now that would probably be impossible though. surely they understand that even just hitting github would not actually get rid of these emulators.

if it is nintendo doing this, it might be because microsoft owns github and nintendo is doing direct work with microsoft. kind of like how dolphin wasn't allowed on steam, or the n64 portal project was halted. they don't want their collaborators to be hosting their competition.

@phnt Eden: github.com/eden-emulator

Suyu has been dead for a year now. Citron has/had some sus shit going on with it, something about key verification, I wouldn't use it. Ryubing is on Gitlab and was hit with a DMCA on Github a while ago too, seems to be okay for now.

Seems like the only ones worth using anyway are Eden and Ryubing.
