DMCA aside (I doubt Nintendo wants to play the game of DMCA whack-a-mole) I think we should let the dust settle before moving along with other emulators. People are (rightfully) angry, but we can't let that anger cloud our judgement.

This could very will be the successor to Citra, but there exists two other 3DS emulators and one other Switch emulator, so it's not like those (emulated) consoles are going away soon. As long as they're not gloating about running leaked games early, I guess they should be fine. I'm hearing that Yuzu went too close to the sun there.

On GitHub? No. It will get DMCA'd in very short order.

[-] PonyOfWar@pawb.social 4 points 8 months ago

Don't see why it would. The settlement doesn't affect other developers and never even concerned Citra.

[-] algernon@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

Well, citing IGN:

Citra, a Nintendo 3DS emulator, will also be discontinued.

The Citra homepage seems to confirm that.

Yes, the team behind Yuzu and Citra is disbanding, so Citra is being discontinued. But it's an open-source project under a GPL license, so other developers can maintain their own version of it.

...and then risk the same litigation from Nintendo, or at least a DMCA takedown, something which the settlement explicitly mentions.

Only if it's being developed in the US/by Americans and/or hosted on American servers.

And where do you think GitHub is?

[-] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

There's many alternatives to GitHub. A new repo could exist on a different service, or even be self hosted using git or GitLab.

[-] algernon@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

And that's relevant, how? (start of the thread)

[-] PonyOfWar@pawb.social 5 points 8 months ago

The strategies that Nintendo used for suing Yuzu wouldn't really work for Citra, as it's not a current system and doesn't even require a firmware/keys. Doubt Nintendo will bother either, they never did for older systems.

Not really, they weren’t sued for Citra, but Nintendo saw their chance.

[-] algernon@lemmy.ml -3 points 8 months ago

Yep. So I don't see why they wouldn't enforce that extra win.
