Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

the post title is "Release Trailer"

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Indeed.

The post also contains a link to github as well as a link to youtube.

The github link does not work, hence my comment.

Do we need to worry about GitHub shutting this down even though it’s not doing anything wrong?

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 year ago

Given we're dealing with Nintendo. Yes absolutely.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Actually not really. It's not sharing any of Nintendo's assets so there isn't any ground for it to be removed.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Since when has not having grounds stopped corporations from trying? Case in point, YouTube copyright striking

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They're much more likely to spend time on the easy wins than on anything that'll take time and money to fight in court. Since these folks aren't redistributing any of Nintendo's copyrighted content, it's not as simple of a takedown as an emulator that includes private keys.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Github isn't taking Nintendo to court over one of their users projects. They just comply with the takedown request and remove it. The user/dev isn't going to fight Nintendo to bring it back either.

what emulator includes private keys? because it's not yuzu

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

So how do you exactly play if there are no game assets?

[–] K0W4LSK1 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just find the original you left on archive.org

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

That's where I left that thing!

Just in case you are still curious, and I don't see any actual answers here. The download provided is all the code for the game engine and everything else that would be going on in the background of the game. Anything that could be copyrighted by Nintendo (things like character and object models, textures, music, and environments) need to come from a totally legit dump from an official Nintendo cartridge and definitely not any ol' .rom file you can download online

Great timing, I've just started Ship of Harkinian Ocarina Of Time port

Grab it while it's hot!
