Nintendo hits 8,535 clones of Switch emulator Yuzu with a DMCA all at once

Mario.

A $2.4 million settlement with Nintendo effectively put an end to the development of the popular Switch emulator Yuzu, but it's not that easy to wipe a piece of software from the face of the internet.

GitHub, a site where software creators can host their applications and allow them to be expanded by other open source developers, just posted the details of a new DMCA takedown request from Nintendo. This one targets versions of Yuzu from developers other than the original team, including mirrors of the emulator, expanded alternate versions, and other forks and clones.
