    Nintendo would need to prove that you had and ran the tools locally which is damn near impossible to do. I could create a commit without even opening the solution or compiling it.

    It would also put Nintendo up shit creek by turning the entire FOSS community against them.

      They kinda already did with this lawsuit. With this, no emulator is safe.

        A lawyer on the !technology@lemmy.world thread mentioned that a settlement doesn’t set a precedent, so they’re safe from that at least.

        Nintendo’s argument also doesn’t apply to emulators that only work with pre-decrypted ROMs. Anything older than a PS3 doesn’t have encryption at all.

          Given that other emulators are now taking down their public facing websites, im not too sure. Hope Im wrong. Going to upvote because Im hoping they are right.

            Mind sharing the links?

            I know Ryujinx stopped accepting people into their Discord, but that’s all I’m aware of at the moment.

                Citra and Yuzu were made by the same people, no? Makes sense that they would also pull that.

      No, they largely will go after people hosting and distributing the tools. Running it privately is obviously not legal, but wouldn’t rise beyond Nintendo trying to ban you from stuff.
