    I won’t buy anything Nintendo ever again because they started attacking emulators. I was a lifelong customer until the Switch 2 and they’ve shot themselves in the foot.

    Eden emu hosts its own git instance. If you have a server and live in a country where section 1201 of the DMCA does not apply you could do the same.

    7 projects, most of which are yuzu forks.

    Unsure how much of these were in active development, but not sure what people expected. Just don’t use GitHub for this, especially if Nintendo already shut down the project before.

    Why are these hosted on Github? Wouldn’t a self hosted repo on an obscure VPS host be harder to take down?

    Edit: Nvm, others already mentioned this.
