So nice of them to use github, a platform that is so readily known for being super hesitant on takedown claims /j

/j?

jest/joking, its like /s(sarcasm) but meant to be more lighter in tone.

I say it as /j instead of /s because while they have taken down repos, they have decided to uphold projects in the past before.

How well protected is this against any lawsuits? I imagine it's not illegal to create firmware but Nintendo might think differently. Do they have any leg to stand on?

Does this mean I can finally CFW a switch or is it still locked to old models

It’s so much work reverse engineering the proprietary console when you can just use the steam deck.
