    Saw this coming and made sure to update one last time. Ill probably just switch to Ryujinx at some point.

    RIP Yuzu

        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.

            Big companies are probably better at finding people than law enforcement is

        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.

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