As of right now Citra and Yuzu are both available via Flathub!! If you want them there’s still time!!!
Lol install statistics shot up when initial news broke last week.
Honestly someone should just copy all of the files onto 10, 000 cheap small flash drives and just hand them out everywhere.
Fuck Nintendo. Bunch of money hungry cunts. I hope their sales plummet. Emulation isn’t illegal but here fucking are being forced to buy their horrendously shitty console to play a game. Glad I bought mine secondhand and already sold it. You once had honour. Now you can commit seppuku
That was fast.
They settled.
Are there any viable Yuzu or Citra forks?
A guy on the Lemmy.world post posted this: https://github.com/TxzK/yuzu
More important than maintaining the source code though is forming a new group to manage the continued development of Yuzu and Citra. Hopefully they don’t fracture into ten groups all making parallel improvements.
No, I hope they do and all on open source so they can pull from each other’s improvements. Redundancy will help keep things going
How would one go about downloading and building it from that link?
I wouldn’t put anything on GH at this point, not with lawsuits going around.
github forks can easily be DMCA-ed, find a mirror somewhere other than github
Fuck Nintendo. Find better games for your kids to play. Buy a Sega genesis with an everdrive or set up a raspberry pi or something.
I guess this is damage control, since they are afraid of setting a precedent of potentially killing off legal emulation in the US for good.
There’s no chance, an emulator dev team can take it up against Nintendo’s lawyers.
Don’t blame Nintendo, blame capitalism.
Both. Blame both.
True, if they went to court and lost, every emulator project would likely be sued. But settling out of court also sets a precedent, or rather perpetuates the current status quo of crushing any vaguely gray area fan project with the threat of legal action. The shutdown of Yuzu will embolden Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony to be more aggressive about killing off these projects. Until someone does take one of these three to trial and wins, things are going to continue getting worse for game preservation.
Capitalism taking its’ course until we stop it, I’m afraid.
nintendo? more like nintendon’t!
With all that free money, it looks like Nintendo will be just fine if I never purchase another one of their games. Hell, I may even offer to hack some of my friends’ systems just to spite Nintendo.
I’m gonna rcm my switch now and copy my animal crossing island to my PC to be emulated. Shoulda done that a long time ago to have a backup that I actually own instead of having to pay Nintendo to keep my save data backed up. I see no reason to play any more Nintendo games on my switch, much less purchase any more when I have my steam deck.
Absolute chad. Keep fighting the good fight.
It’s funny, before this, I was just going to buy a legit copy and play it on my Deck (I have a Switch, but prefer the Deck)
Now, fuck those guys. If I play at all, it’ll be on a pirated copy.
Deck is superior to Switch! And obligatory F—- Nintendo, and their 1990’s mindset with games and hardware. I’m convinced they’ll have to financially fail to start caring. Even a 30% reduction in their sales and player counts should quickly seize their attention.
At this point 2024 is looking like the Year Of Nintendo’s Failures starting off with Palworld. They certainly deserve to fail!
Saw this coming and made sure to update one last time. Ill probably just switch to Ryujinx at some point.
RIP Yuzu

Its dead. Another project based on it source code might arise but it won’t be the same team and will take a while before it would be smart to trust the new project.
True just look at how long project64 v1.6 has been around

Agreed. Same thing with Tachiyomi a couple of months back. It still lives on

@Imprint9816 I’m really sad, it’s like I have lost a friend.
@Imprint9816 do you think Nintendo is done?
Yeah hard to say. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ryujinx gets hit next. It looks like the source code for Yuzu is, at the very least, saved on the wayback machine, so my guess is a fork will eventually pop up.
It seems like a better strategy would be to host this on the dark net. When working on projects like this, they need to start putting effort into making it so that it’s almost impossible to link them to real life people. People sell drugs on there all the time and seem to get away with it. Maybe we need to adapt.
We need an “Illegal software github” kind of like pirate sites but for source code that governments and corporations don’t want people to have.
Shitty thing is, emulators and emulation themself aren’t ilegall.
What nintendo attacked here is the fact yuzu was used to play copies of games for their still used and developed for system, doesn’t matter whether it was pirated or not to them, all they care about is the fact that it was a current gen system emulator and they didn’t like that fact because they think it hurts their sales.
Big companies are probably better at finding people than law enforcement is
Lol no
Fuck Nintendo. They’re going on my shitlist forever. They were already on my shitlist. Now they’re just on the same level as HP which is the lowest level.
Same, I haven’t supported them since 2020 but after this I’m never coming back. They can go fuck themselves, I hope their “Switch 2” fails like the WiiU did.
This is just encouragement for ryjunix to prep for new console (which is probably going to be almost the exact same)
this case does not set any legal precedent, but it’s still a shame they settled.
Only a matter of time. Idk how they thought Nintendo wouldn’t come after them. That’s Nintendos whole mo
Anybody has the last citra build? The one I have is almost a year old.
nintendrones are the most brainwashed corporate bootlickers I’ve ever encountered
There’s a steam deck discord that was muting people and banning some people for even saying the world “emulation”
The mods were quite scared and authoritative and acting powerless at the same time.
“Say sorry” is crazy lmao
