        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.

        My guess is the most recent version of Yuzu, as a stand alone, will probably work for a long time anyway. So i guess there is that…

        Source has been posted on Internet Archive (along with the latest builds for a bunch of platforms). Something will likely rise from the ashes of YuZu, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it takes a few years. Nintendo is probably gonna be extra litigious this year (even more than usual), due to them likely failing to have the Switch’s successor ready this year, and not really having a full slate of games ready, so with Switch sales projected to be down, best to lay low on anything that might get Nintendo’s attention for a while.

        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.

        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.

            Yes, absolutely. I’m sure experienced, qualified developers are clamoring to invest thousands of hours of work into a fork of a project hosted exclusively in a space only a fraction of a percent of the online world will ever access. I love the “fuck corpos” attitude from this community, I really do. But Yuzu development is dead. Super dead. Nintendo killed it and all the other emulator teams and game publishers are looking at it thinking about what’s next.

      Same. Updated on my desktop, though I forgot my Steam Deck. Apparently you can still update on Linux, so I’ll be doing that after work
