Overview
- The new notice asks GitHub to remove repositories that host or link to Switch emulators including Citron, Eden, Kenji-NX, MeloNX, Pine, Pomelo, Ryubing, Ryujinx, Skyline, Sudachi, Sumi, Suyu and Yuzu.
- Some targets show disruptions, with the Citron and MeloNX websites appearing offline, while other emulators remain accessible through GitHub pages or off‑GitHub mirrors.
- Eden says only its GitHub Releases page was flagged, reports its source code is self‑hosted with mirrored builds available, and confirms it is contesting the takedown.
- Nintendo’s filing argues the emulators rely on unauthorized cryptographic keys to defeat technological protection measures, constituting unlawful anti‑circumvention and trafficking under the DMCA.
- The move extends a crackdown that included the 2024 Yuzu settlement and Ryujinx’s discontinuation, and reporting notes GitHub removals reduce discoverability without ending development and may steer novices to unsafe downloads.
