It being open source is a good sign. I'm not aware of Nintendo going after any open source projects.
Open/closed source has nothing to do with it. If this project is using Nintendo IP without permission (and I see no evidence this is a licensed product) Nintendo will definitely go after them.
From what ive seen Nintendo's only gone after projects when they're too close to what their doing internally, like with AM2R or that 99 mario game. (also worth mentioning those werent open source projects)
And I still haven't seen Nintendo go after an open source project. They haven't touched any of the sm64 decomp nor have they the Ocarina ones.
Because those don't include assets. You gotta bring your own ROM to rip game assets from. This project seems to include them.
Oh. Well then this could go either way.
Aaaand it's gone (12 hours ago).
I was wondering when someone would tag me about it lol. I was wrong. Damn shame too. I would've loved to see the Oracle games in that style.
Hope someone continues it since the source was available. Just de-couple the assets from it and republish it as a launcher.
