GitLab has taken down the Suyu Nintendo Switch emulator

Suyu-728x410.png

Emulator takedowns continue. Not long after its first release, Suyu emulator has been removed from GitLab via a DMCA takedown. Suyu was a Nintendo Switch emulator forked from Yuzu emulator, which was the high-profile subject of a takedown by Nintendo last month. GitLab deleted Suyu's repository, stating that they'd received a takedown notice for the project. The tongue-in-cheek named emulator still has an official website up, though the Discord is not allowing new members, and the GitLab download page is gone. However, it seems a self-hosted download page is still available.

Don't know about the Discord tho, I don't usually hang in emu servers.

From a quick glance on their repository, they purposefully removed the Discord server link and changed it to a private chat for suyu.
Most likely this is the best course of action so "you-know-who" doesn't enter uninvited.

Imagine still using Discord for ANYTHING that can be taken down....

Yeah... not according to the DMCA but no one wants to find out if the US Court system agrees.

It is legal, but Nintendo using the DMCA to bully and harass developers and fan project doesn't make it illegal.
People should stop depending on US stuff so often, it's only US-based apps/services that tend to have these kind of results.

Correct! Just use a service from like Panama and it should be safe.

They also need to majorly rework suyu's source code since alot of it relies off of an sdk that tropic haze (devs of yuzu) illegally used, I suggest that (in basic terms) they swap out sdk-infused code with ryujinx's

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
