      Better yet, clone it and preserve the commit history with it.

    Huh. Nintendo specifically claims in the filing that “hacking a Nintendo Switch console” (as in using Fusee Gilee on a first-gen hackable Switch) is “unlawful.” I wondef if that doesn’t mean that they’ll go after Switch homebrew projects like Atmosphere and Hekate next.

      Apple already lost their argument about jailbreaking with the courts. Nintendo should have read the memo.

        They did, they just didn’t like the outcome. Now they want their turn to set precedent so they can take out emulators for more consoles. I wish somebody had the money to stand up to them.

    Blizzard actually won an argument that Nintendo could use, tbh.

    Against the automation program “Glider”, they argued successfully in court that copying the game into ram facilitated copyright violation. The courts ruled against Glider, because they don’t understand how basic fucking computer operations are performed.

    Nintendo give an example in their complaint with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom saying that it was “unlawfully distributed a week and a half before its release by Nintendo” and that copies of it were “successfully downloaded from pirate websites over one million times before the game was published and made available for lawful purchase by Nintendo”.

    Back when I was on that shithole other link aggregation website, I said this would happen because people couldn’t wait 7 more days for the public release before bragging about emulating TotK and sharing the ROM around.

    Now, we all risk Yuzu stopping development because of it. Foresight is 20/20.
