The net effect of this kind of takedown action is going to be these groups going underground and then no longer playing nice with Nintendo and simply destroying their DRM.

Don’t use GitHub for these projects.
Eden is still up and rolling though.

If someone has a recent archive of the git repo I’ll happily add it onto my git server.

Just keep rlusibg it but every time they do a sweep, just upload twice as many next time lmao.
2 daysSpecifically, these Nintendo Switch emulators illegally circumvent Nintendo’s TPMs in order to run illegal copies of Nintendo Switch games.
I mean, sure, that’s what they do when people use them for that. 🤷 I can play Game Boy games in my browser, should we take down all the browsers, too?
How would Nintendo download their pirated ROMs to sell to their customers without a browser though?

I can run emulators in Windows. Nintendo better do something about that!

Considering how incredibly easy it is to do piracy on real switch hardware they really shouldn’t care at all…

Really? I thought that only certain, really old, Switch models were modable. Am I misreading or misremembering something?

First revision could be hacked by putting it to recovery mode. All models can be hacked using modchip.

And there are flash carts that work on every model now. They don’t work for online play of course, but neither do traditional modchips/softmods.
They also don’t allow you to play digital-only games (which is the majority of the Switch game library), only games available as cartridge can be played with the flash cart.
You also lose all the other advantages of homebrew, like running emulators or using almost any 3rd party Bluetooth controllers without an external dongle.
And they are also expensive as fuck, a Picofly modchip costs under 10€.
And with a modchip or softmod you CAN go online, you just have to use a legitimate copy for playing online, and can play pirated games offline. If you use the flashcard you will get banned eventually, so you’re limited to playing offline and need a 2nd switch if you want to play online
Well I think Nintendo is illegally an asshole and should fuck off and get back to making games
Remember when Nintendo threw a hissy fit for Steam wanting to host Dolphin officially on their store?
