A sad day for emulation and open source advocates, and a reminder that Nintendo can and will destroy you if they see fit.

Hopefully their works will live in the saved repos just as ReVanced was able to live on after YouTube shut the original project down.

The release downloads work, but I don't expect a long future for that project. The creator publicly posted his country of residence on Reddit, and doesn't have much of a plan to avoid a lawsuit other than "we'll condemn piracy wherever we can."

On top of that, it has a brand-new Patreon and is missing the source code for core parts of the emulator.
