Stop hosting all your shit on a corporate owned platform.
Suyu hosts their own repo
Unless the donations continue to flow, that repo won’t last forever because hosting and serving data isn’t free.
Eh, you can host a gitea instance on a $3.50 VPS pretty easily. I don’t think money will be an issue when it comes to hosting and serving.
I got one of these. I dont understand why theyre going after us now. I thought their issue was all the money they were making off of “promoting piracy”.
Im guess im not surprisedNintendo just wants emulators gone. They only use those excuses as a front.

I recently found out about Softwareheritage, they also have yuzu mirrored.
Meanwhile ryujinx be like “nothing to see here”
IANAL, but they should be fine since they aren’t decrypting / breaking DRM they same way Yuzu was. They are a much cleaner codebase, much more similar to mGBA and Dolphin.
But did yuzu actually break DRM? I thought that if I dumped my own game and keys with a modded (1st gen) switch and feed all of that into yuzu, nothing illegal would be going on.
I don’t believe Yuzu went to court, but that was the accusation Nintendo was suing them over. Ryujinx wasn’t sued, so Nintendo either didn’t believe they had done the same, or didn’t care. We didn’t get to have a discovery process for the case to find out for sure, so we don’t know.
iirc it was yuzu who linked tools to do it, but the application itself didnt do it. Yuzus main problem was often linking to resources and advertising stuff, and partially locking it behind a paywall.
They allegedly also advertised that newegames, like TotK was running better on the EA builds and there’s the suspicion that the yuzu team also distributed the keys via torrents. All of these are just allegations, though.
The paywall as far as I know isn’t that much of problem. Cemu has/had a paywall for years. Several other, though less successful, emulators have had paywalled content/early access as well. The BLEEM emulator that was brought to court was a paid commercial product. So that currently is perfectly legal within the jurisdiction of those cases. Nintendo’s case against Yuzu was about piracy/DRM circumvention. That wasn’t brought to court, so we don’t know the outcome however.
No, yuzu’s main problem was being a for-profit company. That seemed to be central to Nintendo’s case against them. The company behind yuzu was making millions.
Paid emulators have existed for ages and have won in US courts before.
Ryujinx wasn’t sued, so Nintendo either didn’t believe they had done the same, or didn’t care.
Ryujinx is nowhere near as popular as Yuzu, so that probably has a lot to do with it.
It’s also possible that they wouldn’t win against Ryujinx. There’s evidence of Yuzu devs sharing roms with each other to test out games, so it’s possible that they settled to avoid discovery.
This is probably in a legal grey area in the US. The Yuzu case was settled out of court because Nintendo had dirt on the team behind it, so it’s unclear whether a judge would rule that this kind of circumvention is legal.
Why there’s no decentralized github-like ?
Git is already decentralised. Every github-like is interoperable with every other github-like. But just because something works together with many others doesn’t makes it invulnerable to legal takedowns. Nintendo is a gaming company. They have no problems playing whack-a-mole, as demonstrated here.
Yeah, but Nintendo hasn’t won a lawsuit, which means the code isn’t illegal to share. They just convinced GitHub to take it down.
They convinced GitHub to send takedown notices, which can be appealed. They’re legally required to do this under the DMCA.
I think there’s a difference between distributed and decentralised. But apart from that 👍
- Forgejo: But ForgeFed, it’s federation software is still under development
- Radicle: But they have unnecessary ties with crypto stuff
Check out forgejo. While git is „decentralized“ it is not discoverable. Forgejo is pretty much there afaik using ap protocol.
Btw Suyu hosts a full backup of Yuzu (and other stuff like Ryujinx or Dolphin in case it gets taken down at some point) on their Forgejo instance
It’s also available via Tor as an onion site: http://suyudev2qxj5x7mroamgwf4hqunz4pups27z2kl77x4ioqhh5yhpshad.onion/
I’m wondering if that’s going to stay up for long considering what happened with the Suyu team last month.
What exactly are you referring to?
I just hope the Citra forks won’t be targeted. Citra was only killed as collateral damage, but I still can’t help but be nervous anyway…
Bro, they have to stop!
