Sounds like this was more of a bribe than any legal case against the emulator. In which case nothing is stopping anyone from putting a fork back up, and gdkchan gets to laugh all the way to the bank.
I’m thinking less bribe and “laughing away to the bank” and more of a “Nintendo threatened to ruin their life with legal fees if it wasn’t taken down”.
The frivolity of said case is irrelevant when they just bully normal people legally like that.

a “reverse bribe”, as is typical of nintendo
Dev is in Brazil. They knew they had no chance of a takedown
Problem is …is that Nintendo may have “purchased” the code so anyone making or publishing forks would be in breach of “copyright”
