alt Hacker NewsYou don't even need github source code. You could spin up a gitlab community server (or Forgejo or 50 other options) today to host these projects, but your domain/server provider will shut you down in two hours.
And if that doesn't happen, wait till you find a legal letter sent from Nintendo lawyers in your mailbox.
Unless you want to play hide and seek like z library or pirate bay which will become a full time job.

Run a radicle node over Tor. No letters, no door knocks, easy for others to mirror.
(Also, some random emulator will never become as big of a target as the giant hub sites like TPB.)

The issue with all these projects is they host `ObliterateSwitchDRM` on GitHub under their account @FrankJohnson with the bio "The one and only Frank Johnson at 123 Mainstreet Ave. In San Francisco, CA working for Google!" and go all shockedpikachuface when Nintendo sends them a 'fuck you' letter through their gaggle of lawyers.
If you're @schizomariofan185 who hosts the project on a Gitlab/Forgejo/whathaveyou on fucknintendo.su hosted on a VPS in Bulgaria/Russia/Romania paid for with crypto, they will literally NEVER find you. Such an effort could easily be crowdfunded by the community. Bonus points if you yourself reside in one of those countries, so they can't even do anything to you, if they somehow did.
There are plenty of providers that don’t do any form of KYC and in jurisdictions where emulators are legal.
This isn’t nearly as time-consuming as you’re making it out to be.
