Nintendo screwed big time. Now there's going to be multiple forks of Yuzu all over the internet. And on every self-hosted Git forge.

Already mirrored on my personal forge

Fuck no. Nothing against simply having emulation software, just creating it from what I can tell.

The bigger deal is that development by this team has been halted, not that it will be a little harder to find a trustworthy download of the most recent version.

Yep. This is more to stop the emulation of their next console than anything else. Especially considering it's likely to be a just slightly better Switch.

Honestly, I'll think more than twice before buying that thing if it really just is a Switch refresh. Not even taking into account the fact that whether it's Yuzu or not, it'll probably be supported by a Switch emulator in a comically short time after coming out. I'm still waiting for some insider leaks ten years from now revealing the Switch was indeed just some rebranded gaming tablet. Too many half-assed features, both on the firmware/OS side of things, but also the controller connectivity and drifting. It's their worst console up to now. But damn, are their games fun.

That's only temporary tho. One fork will emerge as the replacement everyone goes to, including the developers who were only working on Yuzu and Citra as volunteers. We know what Nintendo was sueing over, so that can probably be avoided in that fork.

I tried to fork but couldn't find a repo to clone. Do you have a link?

[-] velox_vulnus@lemmy.ml 27 points 7 months ago

It's all over Codeberg. And within a few hours or days, I guess it will reach NotABug too.
