Nintendo Switch Emulator Suyu Removed from GitLab After Alleged DMCA Takedown

The removal of Suyu, a Nintendo Switch emulator, from GitLab raises questions about the legitimacy of the DMCA notice, with developers suspecting a hoax.

  • Suyu, intended as a replacement for the previously sued Yuzu emulator, was taken down from GitLab due to an alleged DMCA takedown notice.
  • It's unclear who issued the DMCA notice, with Suyu developers and GitLab not confirming Nintendo's involvement.
  • Some Suyu developers suspect the DMCA notice may be fake, noting inconsistencies in the notice's details.
  • Despite the takedown, the Suyu community remains active, with plans to host the emulator elsewhere.
  • Other Nintendo Switch emulators, like Ryujinx, remain unaffected by similar DMCA takedown actions.
