Is yuzu really going to "shut down"? I have it installed on my computer at least. And it's foss, no? So anyone can clone the repo.

Damn, the repo is already gone.

Here's my fork in case you want it: https://github.com/TxzK/yuzu. I'm sure some actively maintained forks will pop up eventually.

Be careful, now Nintendo is out for blood. I would get it off GitHub at the very least.

Take a look here for some potential alternatives: https://lemmy.world/post/12529718

Yeah good idea. Here you go https://codeberg.org/TxzK/yuzu

Has anyone made a backup of the Linux building guide? it points me to a 404 page.

[–] zarenki@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just uploaded a mirror of the wiki to https://codeberg.org/zarenki/yuzu-wiki/src/branch/master/Building-for-Linux.md

Downloaded it a week ago, so might not be the most recent change.

Thanks, you are a life saver. Have a Lemmy Lemon 🍋

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Good thing you did this!

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 2 years ago

Hello, it's me Nintendo please pay me 2.4M bucks in damages from sharing those links, you vicious criminal 😭

[–] Rikj000@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 2 years ago

MVP!

Fork the hell out of it guys,
preserve the code and let things cool off.

Then we eventually could see an active fork popping up.

[–] sweaterpuppys@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Saving this for when I get home. Ty!

[–] PlexSheep@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks, cloned it to my homeserver

Lol, it's 21592 comments aheàd of roblabla/yuzu:master and 4.4k forks

[–] vinnymac@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 years ago

Doesn’t matter if it’s gone, as long as it is available elsewhere, which of course it is.

A fork will most certainly pop up. I’m curious what this means for ryujinx development going forward.

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

They cannot truly shut down Yuzu, the open source project.

They can - and did - shut down Yuzu, the commercial for-profit company.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

You can use the version you have already installed forever. Even reinstall over and over. Them shutting down won't stop it from working.

[–] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

It's gone from the Play Store as well. Glad I managed to grab a copy of the early access version few days ago even though my phone isn't fast enough to run it full speed. I guess the money I paid for the early access version went to Nintendo.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Apkmirror has the APKs still

[–] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Does it has the early access version, or the regular version?

[–] TxzK@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

this guy has early access version for all platforms and providing anyone with it, just dm them.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm not sure. Worst case, you can compile it manually from one of the archive forks?

[–] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Need to track down the most up to date archive first. Maybe someone know where to look? This one doesn't seem to contain yuzu-android source code.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Ouch. Hopefully, someone has it installed and can share the APK. Or better yet, if somebody archived the entire org instead of just the yuzu repo.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I hope someone starts making an active fork while also providing a FDroid repository you can add.
