The battle continues! The fallout is ongoing from the legal battle between Nintendo and yuzu that saw the yuzu team fold.
It’s getting increasingly difficult for anyone to host a copy of the original code, or forks that continue it on, as Nintendo are not stopping in their battle against the popular Switch emulator. Nintendo sent another DMCA over to GitHub which caused 8,535 source code repositories to go offline
In the DMCA notice available on GitHub it mentions:
Note: 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 takedown notice against the entire network of 8,535 repositories, inclusive of the parent repository.
The DMCA also states that yuzu “illegally circumvents Nintendo’s technological protection measures and runs illegal copies of Nintendo Switch games”.
GitLab isn’t safe for yuzu-related code either, since they took down suyu too.

Meanwhile, Ryujinx is just sat over there in the corner, hoping Nintendo don’t come calling.
Nintendo are clearly keeping a constant watch on anything related to yuzu, and they’re quite busy lately, even putting Garry’s Mod in their sights to get content removed.
