Nintendo’s GitHub takedown hits 144 Switch mod chip firmware repositories, VGC reports

VGC reports that GitHub removed 144 repositories offering Switch mod chip firmware and information after a Nintendo DMCA notice. IGN reports four notices targeting Yuzu, Citron Neo and mod chip firmware. Nintendo says the firmware bypasses Switch protections to run pirated games; VGC notes that Gary Bowser’s guilty plea cited in the notice isn’t a ruling that mod chips are definitively illegal.
