Went like mad backing up every last version available yesterday. A lot of people were saying the main dev (GDKChan) accepted a "bribe" to cease development, but another dev (Isaac) said that "they" (Nintendo Lawyers?) showed up at gdk's home (here in Brazil I think) and it wasn't a "fun deal".

See and I know DMCA doesn't extend down there so I'm thinking it was a closer to a Godfather scenario where Nintendo 'offered him a deal he couldn't refuse'. Either way, it's one of those particular causes WHERE the particulars don't matter anyways. Dev is closed and that is that. How it is.
