Someone else re-uploaded the repo (archived): https://github.com/emmauss/Ryujinx

That doesn't look to be an up-to-date fork at all. Latest commit is from 5 years ago.

Here is an updated mirror: https://github.com/Synthlight/Ryujinx

Nice, good find!

Look at other branches, e.g. arm_delegate_native was active yesterday

Last master commit as of two days ago was very different: https://web.archive.org/web/20240929032514/https://github.co...

So not a good fork either way since the builds were made out of master.

5 years old :(

Updated mirror: https://github.com/Synthlight/Ryujinx

Github didn't do anything here, it was the project owned who did: https://twitter.com/RyujinxEmu/status/1841188744126480428

So the exact same thing would have happened with whomever owned the physical server.

That probably applies to like 90% of posts here.

In this case it seems so, someone just uploaded the codebase again (archived): https://github.com/emmauss/Ryujinx

5 years out of date though, it would seem.

Here's a more up to date one: https://github.com/Synthlight/Ryujinx

Codebase, but no releases...

They used to handle releases through github actions, so it should be fairly straightforward to set that up

Do you think the average joe who owns a Switch or is a potential client for their next console, is even aware of any of this happening? This is the tiniest of stories. The only way the public at large can become aware of emulators is if they hit a big app store.

So as far as timing of this move goes, it's as good a time as any to "protect what's theirs".

There is no such thing as an mp3 being copy protected. A game on a cartridge is not "copy protected" either.

>Copy protection, also known as content protection, copy prevention and copy restriction, is any measure to enforce copyright by preventing the reproduction of software, films, music, and other media.

I don't see much point in making the theoretical argument of "nothing is unhackable". The point of protection isn't to make some absolute defense, it's to mitigate low effort thieves. Any house can bypass a lock by using a cheap hammer on a window, but I'd still call a house lock a "lock".

Hey, your comment just got a reply, if you want to read it please subscribe to Hacker News Plus for just 1.99 an hour. If you spend less than an hour a day procrastinating here, then it's free. But we all know that's not the case.

And then you sign up and the "comment" was just some scammer who's account has since been deleted.

But don't forget, if you signup for the premium+ you will get one free boost each month, so your post will be on the front for up to 30 minutes and it will be seen by more people!

Same thought, surely it can't be a coincidence, maybe they thought it was so on the nose that it would be best to not draw attention to it.

I commend you for having a conscience. I guess the real topic is not about AI (because this discussion could have been about NFTs a couple of years ago), but whether one feels any reservations about pursuing projects based purely on their potential appeal rather than out of a genuine interest.

And what I really fail to understand (honestly) is why this is even a question.

It's not confined to HN by any means, but for my entire professional life I've gotten the feeling that programmers, more than any other group, feel guilty about making money.

Well, drug dealers also make money.
