I hate to be that guy, but it doesn’t seem like there’s anything to this fork. At least a few links in the README don’t work, and the domain for the “email” is actively for sale. The owner of the repository doesn’t seem to have any real previous projects on their GitHub account.
I can understand that it’s a new fork, but in my mind you’d want to at least make sure the Readme is… passable before you spread the word and make a Patreon for the project.
EDIT: The Patreon link has been removed since I made this comment. I’m still incredibly skeptical of the project though

I would say don’t make a freaking patreon for it. You know what companies hate even more than people using thier IPs? Getting money while doing it.

This looks like a straight cash grab. I bet the whoever owns this github won’t work on it at all.

I’m sure a lot of forks will pop up right around this time. I’ll be less skeptical of them once I see actual commits made to the codebase instead of things like just changing the readme

Until the dust has settled, and there are a significant amount of pull request and contributions, I’m not considering this as an actual fork, it’s just a repo mirror, on GitHub, which can be taken down at any moment.

Forking a repo is not the same as developing it. Any idiot can rehost the existing source code, but all the developers with knowledge of the code base and project just got axed by Nintendo.

Well that didn’t take long.

Yeah, lots of people forked it. But most are laying low at the moment. This one probably won’t last long.
Edit: “Contribute to Nikilites/nuzu development by creating an account on GitHub.” Now it kind of sounds like a honeypot.

That sounds like the default GitHub boilerplate message, to be fair.

Yep, and if they’re not behind 10 vpns and a randomly generated username then they’re going to get sued into oblivion before close of business Friday

What we need to do is have an anonymous program get uploaded online that can decrypt these games with prodkeys. And then have it play these decrypted games completely removing the prodkey shit

Whoever works on it better hide behind multiple VPNs in different countries.

multiple VPNs in different countries
Is this the new seven proxies?
