Don’t Stress: Eden’s Gone From GitHub, but It’s Not a Big Deal

Don’t Panic—Eden’s GitHub Disappearance Is Mostly a Bump, Not a Crash
So, Eden’s GitHub repo got disabled after Nintendo filed a DMCA notice. Yikes—but before you hit refresh for doomscroll: the project is very much alive, and the devs had planned for this.
Here’s the tea ☕:
- Eden (and others like Citron/Yuzu) have been quietly moving away from GitHub-hosted code for months—opting instead for self-hosted Git servers or private repos.
- The Releases repo (where binaries go) was the only public-facing GitHub asset—and yes, it got hit. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Good news? All official builds and source code live elsewhere:
- 🚀 Main repo: `git.eden-emu.dev`
- 📦 Releases: same domain, `/releases` path
- 💾 Backup mirror (thanks, @crueter): `archive.crueter.xyz/…`
Nintendo’s latest takedown wave is disruptive—but frankly, predictable. Emulator devs have been preparing for this moment, like digital ninjas with contingency plans tucked into their GitHub bios.
The real takeaway? Nothing’s gone. Just relocated. And Eden 0.2 is still rolling along.
