As a just-joined member I can´t post links but there´s this YT channel that used to be cool but now just wants people to use his AiO updater instead of using the original repos for the proyects that he presents and he even refused to do so after I kindly (well, I was probably not so "kind") asked him to. Channel is "Alucardio - Mundo Switch", and he is even providing illegal copies of the games ported in his AiO updater.

I think this can not be allowed

The githubs require all sorts of tools to compile the projects and often need complex compilers. His app lets it be hassle free without having to use a pc and have some sort of deeper computer knowledge to get them working. Yeah... shhh ;)

Why report it here and not to Youtube? And please do not link to the channel here either.

I am not saying "don´t use his AiO", I know it makes things easier and it is really usefull but he also should provide the official dev´s repository and give him some credit. This arrogant "youtubber" just straight up steals the proyect and gives 0 credit for it.

Because you need to be the copyright holder in order to report it for that. Or I´m maybe too stupid and don´t know how. Nevertheless I also think the community must know about this because he is profiting with someone else´s work. Please feel free to correct me if I´m wrong

I'm sure you can report or flag it but why not alert the dev's in question then?

People know to avoid YouTube videos for this sort of thing anyway as they quickly go out of date so i feel the imapct to the community is minimal but I do agree with your sentiment of alerting people to it and of course those affected should be made aware.

I did get in touch with the dev last night and he even replied in the video comment section so he´s aware of this and he is not happy about it

Was checking this dude's video and god damn, he treats homebrew, mods and ports as if they just appear out of thin air, gives absolutely no credit about anything, it's also funny that literally puts his name on his AIO Updater MOD as an "Author" when all he does is just upload an AIO Updater with just a bunch of links preconfigured. All while trying to profit from it all.

Scummy shit.

Yeah I know, dude who installed my modchip added hekate with his ugly asf logo. I also dont like him or others youtubers who do that, sadly we cant do anything about it, since all of these are open source projects and free to use I think.

After all the ones afected by this is lazy people who just want things easy and use this kind of vibe coded homebrew forks that downloads things from someone's random server, because when something fails they dont know how to fix it.
Also imagine if this guy one day decides to add a .ini file that stops blocking nintendo servers or sum.

Best you can do is warn people to not use these kind of homebrew.

sorry for the long text, I really hate youtubers who slap their logos on open source homebrew like they made it

Hekate is designed to accept backgrounds and splash screens out of the box. You can simply delete the file off your sd card. Or overwrite it with a stock hekate.
