Proving once again that it’s time for emulator developers to publish code on a federated git platform with TOR capability.

inb4 the appearance of forks called buymiinx, suemiinx, and hijinx
Of course there will be dozens of forks. But there won’t be significant development on those forks (and there may be malware added to those forks…). Which means that ryujinx today is ryujinx until the end of time, most likely.
Like… how much meaningful development has been done to all those yuzu forks everyone was frantically making?
One day we’ll have Switch 2 Devs working from somewhere like Russia so Nintendo can’t send Pinkertons to their front door to enforce the plumber’s demands
Reminder: don’t put your code on a corporate-owned code forge like Microsoft GitHub. That corporation is interested in helping other corporations like what happened with youtube-dl, et al. so don’t be surprised if your code get censored, or they aide in DCMAs (not to mention locking all of your communications & contributions to a proprietary platform that blocks users based on US sanctions). Use a nonprofit, or better, self-host your code forge—& set up mirrors to be resilient.
Ryujinx was taken down by the author because they made a private agreement with Nintendo directly, GitHub was not involved.
This time. If the maker refused, Nintendo would have just told Microsoft to take it down & it would have happened.
