A Nintendo DMCA notice has just taken out 8,535 Yuzu repos on GitHub. Work also continues elsewhere, and it's likely it will never end.

    It’s true. They used Nintendo’s own cryptographic keys to make the yuzu switch emulation work.

      That’s not “proprietary code”, those are keys. And they actually didn’t include keys, Yuzu did require you to supply a key, however a lot of them were then derived from the key supplied.

      And there is no other way to do emulation and a whole host of other things if you can’t use their keys. Make no mistake, Nintendo wishes it could make using the keys at all illegal.

        Here’s the thing. The creators of Yuzu folded which is a win as far as Nintendo is concerned and a loss for everyone else who uses the yuzu emulators. Your semantics about the situation aren’t helping. All I did was supply a link to a news story that was already available on Lemmy on literally the technology community. This has already been hashed out.

      That’s not code and Texas Instruments already lost on that one

          Something something legal precedence. This hasn’t gone through court yet, has it?

          They didn’t win, they did an out-of-court settlement.
