Most of these forks are going nowhere, Nuzu is run by an "almost 15" year old kid, probably trying to cash in on a Patreon he set up

Edit: Suyu owner pirates games on reddit, yeah these aren't serious efforts lol

[-] pivot_root@lemmy.world 19 points 8 months ago

Nuzu also shut down within a day.

[-] GammaGames@beehaw.org 7 points 8 months ago

Not surprising, repo wars always have their fair share of people that promote their fork and then disappear

[-] drwho@beehaw.org 4 points 8 months ago

We'll see what happens.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

Yup, check back in 6 months or so to find the true successor. It'll happen, it just needs time. Or maybe people will rally around ryujinx instead.

[-] ceiphas@feddit.de 27 points 8 months ago

wow, they "killed" an open source project.... did they really think it was that easy?

[-] Sakychu@lemmy.world 25 points 8 months ago

I mean they also got 2.4 mil and they can continue collecting them from new projects

[-] Moonrise2473@feddit.it 3 points 8 months ago

That's on paper. It's extremely unlikely that they set an LLC with millions of dollars in assets. The reason they set up the LLC was that if they got sued they could settle for any amount, knowing that they would just declare bankruptcy and pay nothing except their legal fees (which, having settled immediately, are very low)

The main developers won't be touching it. That's a pretty big deal since they were the lifeblood of the project.

Potentially recoverable, but still a big deal.

Second. There's no chance that a "reputable" site. Like GitHub, gitlab, etc will be hosting any of these projects for long. That's significant too.

"reputable"

Projects like this should be self-hosted & encourage contributors to set up their own self-hosted mirrors to make sure the code is both distributed & decentralized which users/makers have full control over their platform.

[-] tb_@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

It possibly seeing a legal precedent is the scary part.

[-] noyou@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

Settling out of court is not setting a legal precedent

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

And that's probably why Yuzu didn't stand up to Nintendo. They probably had enough areas for Nintendo to attack that fighting it could leave the emulator community worse off if it goes to trial. Why risk the money to fight something unless you're sure you can win?

[-] noyou@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Maybe. My guess is they just didn't want to go through the trouble, since it would have been a long war.

[-] Cwilliams@beehaw.org 13 points 8 months ago

Suyu, as in "Sue you"?

[-] 4am@lemm.ee 6 points 8 months ago

Just like Apple’s “Sosumi” sound back in the day

[-] RedWeasel@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

Wouldn't have "Sume" been better than "Suyu"?

[-] iSeth@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 months ago

Doubt it. Sume (pronounced sue-may) has little ring to it. Suyu sounds like "Nintendo will sue you".

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

I would've gone with yuja, which is the Korean term for yuzu.

[-] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

cut off one head and two more grow back in it's place.

[-] paultimate14@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Any word on a Citra replacement? I remember a while back I tried to look for an alternative just for compatibility for certain games and I couldn't find much. It seemed like Citra was the only good option for actually playing games. When you add in that the 3DS is no longer sold or supported, plus the hardware gimmicks that led to most games being exclusive to that platform, and also the sheer discomfort my adult hands experience trying to hold such a small device, I'd really much rather play those games on the Deck or with a controller.

The Switch is still young. It's Nintendo's active console so they're dedicating more security and legal resources to protecting it, but I'm sure that will be reduced after the Switch 2 launches. RyuJinx is still a solid option, and when you add these various forks I'm sure emulation will be in a good spot in time.

[-] deFrisselle@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 8 months ago

All Nintendo accomplished is spreading the Yuzu source code across the Internet

[-] Helix@feddit.de 2 points 8 months ago

which one do I download for Arch?
