Yuzu is gone. (yuzu-emu.org)

They settled for $2.4M and shut everything down.

We write today to inform you that yuzu and yuzu’s support of Citra are being discontinued, effective immediately.

Once something is on the internet, trying to take it down will only make it spread more. Especially on a site like GitHub where forking a repo is built-in functionality.

via this thread here is a 🧲 magnet link for a torrent someone made containing "all their Github issues, the git repo on its last version, the latest available release binaries from the Github page, and all of their progress reports from the Yuzu website".

good thanks

[-] Chocrates@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Oof that image is old. I'm old :(.

[-] DarkNightoftheSoul@mander.xyz 61 points 7 months ago

Yuzu is dead. Long live Yuzu.

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 23 points 7 months ago

That which is dead may never die

[-] chtk@feddit.nl 2 points 7 months ago

But rises again, harder and stronger.

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 14 points 7 months ago

Only problem is active development of it

[-] just_change_it@lemmy.world 21 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

You think no one will pick up the old code and work on it?

You think the original devs won't consider going back at it through a means that is anonymous and minimizes their risk?

I've never ever seen a platform with an emulator lose the emulator without someone eventually filling the void. The interest is there. More people than ever can code.

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 16 points 7 months ago

No I mean these forks popping up are all just that, forks. There's no developers behind them. Everyone's trying to find which fork will continue where yuzu left off, but none of them have anyone working on them. It's gonna take time for the dust to settle.

[-] Mic_Check_One_Two@reddthat.com 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I mean, that’ll only affect new releases. And even then, it’ll probably only affect new releases that are doing things in radically new ways. Old/current games (and even lots of new releases) will be fine to play.

The creator of that fork closed it down within a day.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago
[-] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 8 points 7 months ago

It's "suyu, pronounced 'sue you'" now

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Hopefully we don't run out of letters.

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 38 points 7 months ago

Everyone on the Internet who had been paying attention has a fork. Don't freak out. It's fine.

[-] Mic_Check_One_Two@reddthat.com 14 points 7 months ago

Just an FYI, DMCA takedown requests will affect forks. If you’re genuinely worried about something getting taken down, you should make offline copies. So even if your fork gets nuked by the DMCA, you still have the files and can rebuild it.

At this point I just wanna burn nitendogs up. If by any change they sue the Zelda oot port to PC, I would probably start making tutorials to crack all Nintendo stuff for free.

[-] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 19 points 7 months ago

You may want to search up what Nintendogs are

[-] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 22 points 7 months ago

Pour one out for all those digital dogs that sit neglected on old DS's everywhere. Thank god they aren't sentient.

[-] Mic_Check_One_Two@reddthat.com 13 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Here’s a reminder that your neopets haven’t been fed in decades. You left them to starve. You monster.

[-] Morphit@feddit.uk 3 points 7 months ago

I'm pretty sure my Tamagotchi has decayed back into sand and oil by now.

[-] mariusafa@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 7 months ago

They probably made that game so i couldnt insult them saying Nintendogs

[-] ProfessorProteus@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

If they took action against the OOT PC port I would lie down, try not to cry, then cry a lot.

OOT at 4k60 is such a beautiful, fun experience—especially with a good randomizer. Yes I'm old.

[-] PlexSheep@feddit.de 1 points 7 months ago

I'd wonder if it survives for more than half a year.

[-] sic_semper_tyrannis@feddit.ch 5 points 7 months ago
[-] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 14 points 7 months ago

Nobody lol, they'll declare bankruptcy because they have nowhere near that much

[-] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Yuzu was making nearly $30k a month just from their Patreon alone, so I'd doubt that, plus they shut everything down anyways

[-] pufferfischerpulver@feddit.de 7 points 7 months ago

I mean 2.4mio divided by 30k is 80. So that's a lot of patreon months..

[-] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

That is just one route of income, they probably have reserved funds, plus since they agreed it's probably payable

[-] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 7 points 7 months ago

Yuzu and Citra paying Nintendo

[-] sic_semper_tyrannis@feddit.ch 6 points 7 months ago

That's terrible

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 1 points 7 months ago

:( If it were the other way around, I guess Nintendo could just buy the project and shut it down for less.

[-] wrath_of_grunge@kbin.social 2 points 7 months ago

let's be real here.

none of us are happy with the outcome.

pretty much ALL of us would have settled for $2.4 million.
