Yuzu & Citra devs fold to Nintendo's demands | Pay $2.3million to settle, take down github, domains, patreon, discord, with immediate effect. (m.youtube.com)

A sad day for emulation and open source advocates, and a reminder that Nintendo can and will destroy you if they see fit.

Hopefully their works will live in the saved repos just as ReVanced was able to live on after YouTube shut the original project down.

Here's a fork of Citra that can connect to the official nintendo network, still avilable now, by the person who made CTGP7 (custom tracks and characters in MarioKart 7), and here's the one for Yuzu. I think these are gonna be the main forks because they already have quite a lot of activity. It's cool that Citra and Yuzu were open-source so things like this can be made!

I hope the contributors are anonymous..

If they were anon, they wouldn't have folded. But the ethical thing to do now is for them to create new anon accounts, fork the repo, and keep doing the good work

I think at least for Yuzu it would be better for devs to rebrand it to keep ninty back a bit.
