But the main repo: https://github.com/Ryubing/Ryujinx
Is still up. They write that Ryujinx circumvents their copyright, so why aren’t they taking down the main repo?
Reading the takedown it sounds like just having the decryption code itself counts as “circumvention”. I feel like emulators would be a lot safer if game decryption was a separate codebase. Then the emulator would be free to develop while Nintendo plays whack a mole with tiny easily remade decryption repos that just take your key and the file and decrypt it.
Hell ryujinx could even detect that you have the decryptor installed and automatically call it when needed, or it could be bundled during packaging but separate in development like how Bluray decryption is distributed in a separately library but can be used by for eg. VLC.
Yeah, I was asking if the forks that got nuked got nuked because they had keys. Although, it seems like in the note that Nintendo has an issue with the decryption code also.

Did these forks provide prodkeys?

Reading the takedown does imply that, but why didn’t the biggest repo also get nuked then? I just find it strange.
That repo doesn’t, hell it mentions that you need to dump them yourself not even mentioning the possibility of other means.
Not sure about the others though.

I feel like the decryption code is probably one of those keys.
