It's been in "maintenance" for around a week(?) now. No-one knows why, or if it's coming back. But...it could just be standard maintenance.

It seems to me that the main thing that gets a project a chance to be taken down is providing something that Nintendo would normally be selling. So, for example, trying to release a Pokémon or Metroid fan-game on PC - you're using Nintendo's trademarks and gameplay concepts but providing it without the requirement of owning the game/property on which it is based.

Notice how we still have the likes of Newer up and untouched by Nintendo? Newer does not provide any way to get around the requirement of owning a Wii and NSMBW - if the user wants to play Newer without those things, they have to find external software to do so on their own accord.

And thus, as longs as a mod remains a 'modification', and not a distribution of original game software, Nintendo won't (or can't) really do much about it.


The only potential problem I can see in your case is that your mod is essentially, a modification of a Nintendo game, to add older Nintendo property, using newer Nintendo property.

That's true, USA laws seem to try to apply everywhere.

Another annoying thing is that there are a lot of people on the internet who think they know exactly how copyright law works, and that what they predict is definitely what's going to happen. In reality, the law is not nearly as static as they seem to imagine, nor their "knowledge" of copyright accurate.

Posting a project is, unfortunately, the only way to know if Nintendo will lodge a copyright claim. But at least, having to take down the project is the worst that can happen (usually).

Yep, that's what I was saying before - if you provide something of Nintendo's property without requiring the system/game it was originally based on, then chances are that Nintendo will not be happy about it.

SunakazeKun, the text of your posts is completely invisible, at least to me.

Good luck winning. This is pretty outrageous, though.

I skimmed a little but read most of it.

While launching the iPhone 7 this month, its marketing chief, Phil Schiller, explained why this model came without a earphone socket: “It really comes down to one word: courage. The courage to move on, do something new, that betters all of us.”

It does take some "courage" to defy tax bills and basic morality, I'll say that. It also takes some other traits...

I cannot believe that, after all this time, RVLution still has that maintenance message.

I would have expected that by now it would be long gone, archived or not, but somehow it's remained in this state for...over a year, I think.

If you're going to laugh about RVLution, you don't need to wait until the future. StapleButter described the "RVLution spirit" aptly.

On a similar note, does anyone know perhaps if any of the information or tools hosted on RHCafe were kept around somewhere?
