Why are people continuing to host those on GitHub. MS had shown itself willing to take down anything at the drop of a hat.
If it’s on GitHub, it’s not yours.

Still torrents going around

And how do I push my commits to that?
JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Based on your username and the fact you mentioned pushing commits to a project of such complexity I would assume you are not serious but in case you are, the point of the torrent is to keep the data available. You would have to download it and initialize a new repo with it and if you want you can host it wherever you like.

We need forge federation. Nintendo would never be able to delete forks on thousands of different servers

I’ve been trying to wrap my head around a decentralized git so I can release a pokemon rom hack.
draughtcyclist@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
But git is decentralized by design… Just self host.
Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
As another comment says, git is just the version control software. You mean a decentralized hub for sharing git repost I assume. Git hub/lab/whatever are just websites that share a link fundamentally. They also all store the data for your repo, but there’s no reason that would need to be stored in the same place as the hub to find repos.

Most Ron devs use xdelta or other patches to get around it, so you don’t include the ROM.
john89@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Glad the version of Yuzu I have downloaded is apparently a really good, performant, and stable one.
Bless these devs. They did god’s work.

Did not get a e-mail but my fork is gone. That can’t be legal can it? I’m in the EU.
dinckelman@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It doesn’t matter where you are. The company is based in the US, so they’re required to follow local law
HKayn@dormi.zone 2 weeks ago
Why wouldn’t it be legal?
Metz@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yeah i tend to forget that github is in the US and their allmighty DMCA can be used to take down anything. i just have a hard time believing this shit would fly in the EU.

With DMCA get uploader is supposed to get notified and get a chance to file a counter claim
5PACEBAR@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I was one of them. Got the email from GitHub yesterday around noon. Took them long enough
HawlSera@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
So did they DMCA Garry’s Mod or was that really Aaron Peters?
androidisking@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Nintendo is one of the worst companies that always want to set an “example” about the DMCA. They don’t realize they are fighting a battle they cannot win. Emulators are perfectly legal as long as the emulators don’t contain any code that was in ownership from them.
That being said, I’m betting some of those forks were following the DMCA but Nintendo still shut them down. This is where copyright needs to be reevaluated.
I’m honestly not surprised they haven’t gone after dolphin emulator since those devs contain the encryption keys to play the iso files.
Contramuffin@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
So, I agree with your general points, but I think part of the reason Nintendo is so harsh towards Yuzu is because, as far as I’m aware, Yuzu does actually contain proprietary code from Nintendo.
My understanding is that the Yuzu team used a Switch development kit instead of reverse engineering the Switch as they had claimed, so the entire code is essentially tainted because it’s unclear which parts came from the development kit and which parts came from true reverse engineering

Source?
Not disbelieving, but I’ve never heard this before.
