Why do people still host their stuff on github if they know its illegal?
There was no judgement, only a settlement. Yuzu is not "illegal." Nintendo can abuse DMCA and request GitHub take these down, and GitHub will probably listen, but Nintendo would not be "legally in the right" to do so.
It's probably against the rules.
Do what you want cause a pirate is free, you are a pirate.
Hi, newbie question. What is this download/share format called, and how do I access it?
Edit: I love all of you.
It’s a base64 encoded URL. You can usually recognize base64 by the two equals signs at the end. Just do a google search for a base64 decoder, and paste that text into it. You’ll get a usable link. (Technically you can decode them directly on your computer, but I don’t feel like walking you through the console commands for that…)
The base64 encoding is mostly to prevent bots from automatically issuing takedowns on piracy-related discussions. Because there’s the plausible deniability of “well we weren’t posting links.”
its base64 of a url
It's a torrent file. You need a torrent client to download it.
I thought you said they're back up, and got excited for a sec.
Why not just give magnet link?
