        Indeed.

        The post also contains a link to github as well as a link to youtube.

        The github link does not work, hence my comment.

        This hyperlink

        Does not work.

        That’s what I was pointing out and providing an amended link.

          That is the description of the YouTube video. Unless OP is also the person that uploaded the YT video, OP doesn’t have control of that.

            Op does have the power to post the exact same link that this person did.

            I wasn’t trying to assign blame…

            Just noticed it didn’t work when I tried it, so I added the working one for others to follow if they wish.

            But the crowd mentally needs something to be pissed about; so go ahead, pile on some more downvotes. Glad I could provide some release.

          Ah, I misunderstood and see what you’re referring to now. It looks like the way YouTube auto-truncates URLs caused the link to get mashed into the next line of text on the preview Lemmy fetched. As others mention, that’s more of a Lemmy bug than anything.

    Do we need to worry about GitHub shutting this down even though it’s not doing anything wrong?

      Given we’re dealing with Nintendo. Yes absolutely.

      Actually not really. It’s not sharing any of Nintendo’s assets so there isn’t any ground for it to be removed.

        Since when has not having grounds stopped corporations from trying? Case in point, YouTube copyright striking

          They’re much more likely to spend time on the easy wins than on anything that’ll take time and money to fight in court. Since these folks aren’t redistributing any of Nintendo’s copyrighted content, it’s not as simple of a takedown as an emulator that includes private keys.

            Github isn’t taking Nintendo to court over one of their users projects. They just comply with the takedown request and remove it. The user/dev isn’t going to fight Nintendo to bring it back either.

    So how do you exactly play if there are no game assets?

      Just in case you are still curious, and I don’t see any actual answers here. The download provided is all the code for the game engine and everything else that would be going on in the background of the game. Anything that could be copyrighted by Nintendo (things like character and object models, textures, music, and environments) need to come from a totally legit dump from an official Nintendo cartridge and definitely not any ol’ .rom file you can download online
