    Look for yourself, they used someone else’s code, it’s technically not illegal according to the CLA of GitHub , but that’s not relevant to DCMA. It requires them to reverse engineer the code for an emulator, which they didn’t do.

    Did you read the link you sent? “it’s coded in an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE.”

    Hard to steal code when it’s not the language your program is written in. And even if they did… “btw the entire basis for this claim is a reddit post from 3 years ago with the “stolen code” in question being ~50 lines of minor gui fixes” Doesn’t sound like a whole lot of emulation code is in question here.

    The dev provided the means in discord themselves, they also had a google drive with a ripped key, they also had files on discord of roms to test their gamesc which were acquired illegally.

    Provide ANY evidence of this please. I don’t participate in Discord. So just stating that they published shit there doesn’t mean much to me.

    Please tell me what they did right to claim game preservation…?

    I don’t have to. Emulation is 100% covered REGARDLESS of what they did “right” or “wrong”. It’s other actions that caused them to settle. Not YUZU as a program.

    The fact that it didn’t go to discovery when other cases have is damning in itself, and you want it in your court? Okay….

    No it doesn’t. It doesn’t mean a damn thing. What the fuck are you high on?

        Don’t know. We’ll find out I suppose. I responded to a different comment of theirs. But I suspect they did.

        Edit: They didn’t… So they’re just refusing to answer these particular points.
