Settlement for the Yuzu Nintendo Switch emulator also resulted in takedown of the Citra 3DS emulator created by the same developers. (overkill.wtf)

The Citra website has been replaced with the same statement made on the Yuzu website, and the GitHub repository is now gone as well.

Other build dependency repos taken down with it:

When a GH repo is taken down like that, do forks get removed as well?

pivot_root@lemmy.world on 04 Mar 2024 23:49 next collapse

I’m not sure about voluntary deletions, but a DMCA request will take every known fork down with it.

MeatCat@dubvee.org on 04 Mar 2024 23:51 next collapse

Yep, that was my question, re: DMCA takedowns.

DampCanary@lemmy.world on 05 Mar 2024 00:30 next collapse

that’s why you don’t fork it, you re-upload it when you hear it’s stirring

You can always torrent though. There’s a torrent I’ve seen floating round Reddit.

TxzK@lemmy.zip on 05 Mar 2024 01:04 next collapse

I don’t think it does. My fork of it is still up. Forked Tachiyomi when it got taken down too, that’s still up as well.

Please also do an offline download.

offline download

That seems like an oxymoron to me… How does that work?

LazaroFilm@lemmy.world on 05 Mar 2024 01:22 next collapse

As opposed to a synced cloud download.

git clone https://..../yuzu.git
cd yuzu
git submodule update --init --recursive
tar -cvzf ../yuzu.tar.gz yuzu

And store that on a couple of flash drives.

Don’t worry I have a codeberg mirror setup as well, and so have gazillion others. The source code ain’t going nowhere.

pivot_root@lemmy.world on 05 Mar 2024 01:51 collapse

I also found this one for Yuzu, which captured the deleted submodules as well. There’s another one for Citra, but the submodules point to the mirrored repos under the uploader’s personal account and is missing dynarmic.

Combining the two should bring both Citra and Yuzu back to being compile-able.

I dunno if I can directly link it, but it’s on IA. Just search “yuzu-source_files” and you should be able to find it.

Looks like someone uploaded a fork under a new name:

github.com/Nikilites/nuzu

Via: reddthat.com/post/14978571

That fork seems like a cash grab considering it already has a Patreon. The person who uploaded it wiped the commit history and missed the entire submodule graph, including the ones deleted by the Yuzu/Citra team. On the bright side, the Windows build provided appears to be clean.

Have they learned nothing from the lawsuit?

By that time they’re far gone, just a cashgrab

Voluntary deletion won’t remove forks, but a DMCA takedown will.

Yeah, wasnt expecting Citra to go down with Yuzu too. Dang
