By now, you’re more than likely aware of the end of Yuzu, a Nintendo Switch emulator, due to a lawsuit from Nintendo themselves. It has been almost 2 months since the Yuzu developers and Nintendo reached a settlement shortly after the lawsuit was made public. However, even though Yuzu’s development is over, Nintendo is not finished with the emulator just yet.
It seems that Nintendo wants Yuzu to be gone completely. They have issued a DMCA notice to GitHub, where Nintendo is requesting the take-down of 8,535 Yuzu clones, forks, mirrors and more. The number comes straight from GitHub’s notice of Nintendo’s DMCA take-down request. They said that “because the reported network that contained the allegedly infringing content was larger than one hundred (100) repositories, and the submitter alleged that all or most of the forks were infringing to the same extent as the parent repository, GitHub processed the take-down notice against the entire network of 8,535 repositories, inclusive of the parent repository”.
keep playing whack a mole Nintendo you will always lose against emulation lol
Good luck suing suing a Microsoft subsidiary Nintendo.
Poor Nintendo. Not content with the billions and billions and billions they make every year. There’s no end to their greed. Emulation is great, Nintendo want to kill it and game preservation so that they can control everything.
Calm down. This is just Switch emulation. The Switch is still available to purchase and play. There’s no need to preserve it at this time.
Nintendo is still not a fan of emulators. So much of them being billions every year.
a truly pathetic company flailing helplessly against the modern world, wielding their legal muscle like it’s a protection racket. God they are out of touch.
It has nothing to do with being out of touch. Perhaps you should educate yourself on IP laws pertaining to companies that operate in Japan.
It’s crazy, there are always so many uninformed comments like this. It’s like y’all are terminally online and can’t use rational or independent thought whatsoever.
Don’t care, ALEXA OPEN DOLPHIN AND PLAY METROID PRIME IN 4K WITH MOUSE AND KEYBOARD SUPPORT
they don’t lose their IP if they don’t enforce it, that’s a myth perpetuated by PR firms to justify this gross overreach. Stop falling for it. Stop bootlicking for 1 second.
“If a trademark owner fails to pursue infringers for too much time and the use of the mark becomes widespread between competitors and customers to the extent that it results in a generic name, the failure to prosecute may result in abandonment.”
So, yes, they need to protect it.

Once again, people here are unable to understand that Nintendo has all the rights to DMCA those people.
You don‘t owe the games but a mere license to play them. Read the goddamn ToS for once.
Emulation still remains legal, whine all you want
Only if you have the game. Mostly don’t have and keep repeating that to play for free.
ok? i said emulation is legal though not pirating roms, people use it to pirate games, but the point still stands that the use of emulation remains something that is ok under the law, i really don’t understand why you guys are so against it, when emulation is always an enchancement for older systems, are you guys that much of nintendo bootlickers that you have to defend it even though they are wrong? Dolphin has been in development since 2003 and nintendo can’t do nothing about it cause they know they can’t win.
And apart from the fact that Nintendo is within its rights, some here still haven’t understood that the use of a copyrighted product other than those specified in the user agreement is totally illegal… You are only encouraging vulgar parasites, which for me amounts to saying that you are no better than them, and you hide behind the false pretext of “preservation”, which is delirium….
I’m waiting for the day when the users of this kind of thing will be recognized as responsible as the creators, a bit like the image of IPTV….
