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.
This is just encouragement for ryjunix to prep for new console (which is probably going to be almost the exact same)
Are there any viable Yuzu or Citra forks?
A guy on the Lemmy.world post posted this: https://github.com/TxzK/yuzu
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
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
It’s a dark day. I also miss the discord already.
As of right now Citra and Yuzu are both available via Flathub!! If you want them there’s still time!!!
Honestly someone should just copy all of the files onto 10, 000 cheap small flash drives and just hand them out everywhere.
Lol install statistics shot up when initial news broke last week.
That was fast.
They settled.
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.
Absolute chad. Keep fighting the good fight.
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.
Anybody has the last citra build? The one I have is almost a year old.
Only a matter of time. Idk how they thought Nintendo wouldn’t come after them. That’s Nintendos whole mo
Saw this coming and made sure to update one last time. Ill probably just switch to Ryujinx at some point.
RIP Yuzu
It isn’t dead yet. The source code was downloaded by a bunch of people when the lawsuit was announced, so there’s already forks being uploaded to other accounts.
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…
That’s what I mean. They say you aren’t truly dead until the last person forgets your name. Yuzu might not have the same team going forward, but the source code is there, and somebody will continue the project. We won’t forget where it came from, and so Yuzu will live on.
Agreed. Same thing with Tachiyomi a couple of months back. It still lives on
Yup, and on iOS it’s called Tachimanga, and is a direct port of Tachiyomi.
True just look at how long project64 v1.6 has been around
@Imprint9816 do you think Nintendo is done?
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.
Lol no
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.
Big companies are probably better at finding people than law enforcement is
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.
@Imprint9816 I’m really sad, it’s like I have lost a friend.
Cowards. Both Nintendo and the devs for not even bothering with fighting back.
I doubt they’re cowards. Nintendo could smack everyone on the team back into the middle ages. Settling i imagine would end it now instead of completely ruining thier lives.
Ahh look at that, a person on the internet having a big mouth without actually having knowledge into the matter. Nothing new.
They are not cowards at all.
Never take on a corporate company that has billions to spend for the suing. They took the smartest and best route for themselves and that’s what matters - what’s best for them.
If you want someone to “fight” against Nintendo, be the change! Do it yourself.
Technically suing costs the company nothing. They are paying lawyers anyway.
If you want someone to “fight” against Nintendo, be the change! Do it yourself.
And also probably live in Russia (or another CIS state) you know, like most of the famous crackers who still do this and continue to get away with it. Otherwise they (Nintendo or some other western Corpo) will just do the same thing all over again.
Or you could just have a team there, but it didn’t work so well for Gary Bowser, so if you go that route consider the first option.
Sony shouldn’t sue anyone emulating PS4/5 stuff. AFAIK, PC is the king of modding.
They’re cowards for not using the chance to kill any judge dumb enough to entertain “copyright laws.” Or better yet, coward for not using the chance to call in Miyamoto and killing his rentseeking ass.
I’m curious, are you a teenager? The way you are writing makes me think, you are. For example “fighting” and “killing” . These terms don’t really suit the topic.
Not only that you write about things, you clearly have no knowledge of. They are not cowards at all, they took the best and smartest route for themselves to not get into even more financial debt, mental health issues and immensely stressful situations.
I’m quite certain, you have no idea how big of a toll this situation takes on the Yuzu developers.
Not only that, they were definitely not going to manage winning the case against Nintendo. They do not have the financial capacity nor the right lawyers for it. Nintendo has enough money and great lawyers to drag this for years if they wanted to.
Anyway because it seems you cannot be reasoned with, this will be my last comment to you.
Peak reddit comment
What are you, twelve years old?
Well yeah, look at the @. All of hexbear is edgelord children.
nintendo? more like nintendon’t!
Anyone know whwre to get the most recent linux build as a .deb? I wanna have an installer in case I have to wipe my os or something like that.
GitHub releases?
Their git hub is gone
I heard the flat pack is still up
Yep, snap too
Yeah, but is there a way to download flatpacks for an Install at another time?
I wanna be able to install it at a later point in time (for example when I reinstall my system)
apt download yuzuwill download the deb file (but not dependencies) of the latest release to the PWD. But if you want the latest dev version, you’ll have to build from source.Thanks, I didn’t know this was an option :D.
And just like that, Nintendo have guaranteed to never get a dime of my money again 🏴☠️
What a greedy corpo. I’ll be waiting on the MVG video covering all the legal details whenever that drops
Same, and they fucked up the Citra Emulation too, and it’s the only 3DS Emulator. Nintendo may makes great games, but they are better in a museum than fucking up the industry like that.
Sony will follow these steps.
MVG dropped a video today giving his thoughts on it
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
