~~There's still time!!! Get Yuzu and Citra on Flathub now if you don't already have it!!!!~~

https://flathub.org/apps/org.citra_emu.citra

https://flathub.org/apps/org.yuzu_emu.yuzu

~~Edit: Just a note: Yuzu's latest build is mainline-0-1734. The latest build of Yuzu on Flathub is mainline-0-1733.~~

~~Edit#2: As a commenter on this post mentioned: Flathub has now been updated for the latest build of Yuzu -> mainline-0-1734~~

Also: Thank you @[email protected] for providing a link to a post that consults preserving/forking Yuzu’s codebase.

Edit#3: Yuzu and Citra have now been removed from the Flathub website, but are however still available via their flatpak commands:

flatpak install flathub org.yuzu_emu.yuzu

flatpak install flathub org.citra_emu.citra

For more context, A Flathub admin responded to someone on the Flathub Matrix channel saying that Yuzu won't be removed from Flathub completely until they "understand legal implications better"

Flathub Matrix channel: https://matrix.to/#/#flathub:matrix.org

Thank you to ObjectiveJellyfish36 for providing the image and information about the Flathub Admin's response.

Preserve the codebase also!

THANK YOU!!

Don't forget this is a thing aswell.

Would make more sense to be cloning Ryuijunx repository since its fully open source. Yuzu had some closed source code, so its less easily fully preserved.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Huh, always thought it was the other way around that Yuzu was fully open sourced. TIL

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Could be the early access stuff that's closed

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

The repo could be shut down/removed, so Having copies is always a good thing. I think I read earlier that the yuzu source had already made it's way into the wild?

Written in C# for those of you that care I guess

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago

Yuzu pineapple has the latest 4176 early access src https://github.com/pineappleEA/pineapple-src

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago

git cloned it today just in case.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

Flathub's build is now 1734 (the latest) - just updated it

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (4 children)

Or, you know, their website...

Ah nvm, I see their github has been taken down.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

That 404's on the download link.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

GitHub is gone, can't download it on windows or android

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Their website, which tells you to download it from Flathub?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

They also have a tar.xz file for Yuzu.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

My bad. That's correct. I rushed to get this post out ASAP, i'll edit it in. Thanks!!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

I downloaded the Yuzu flatpak onto a USB stick and I'll send a zip of it with install instructions if anyone wants it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I've made local copies of the code base and executables for both emus. Just in case.

Not that I think it's needed per se. Projects were open source, and while the devs are barred from continuing application development... It's a matter of time before the dust settles and some nerds pick up the code base and work on it

(for now any forks are just copy pastes made by randos, but that's now)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Will Citra also disappear?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The team behind Yuzu was also the team behind Citra so unfortunately Citra is gone as well. But Citra has also been forked so source code is still available.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Good thing flathub still has them. Download the flatpaks while they last.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

does anyone have a fork of citra and the apps they can post? i see yuzu not citra

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

irrational panic

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

For me what is most ironic is I probably would've never went out of my way to start downloading some emulators and ROMs until hearing about all these kerfuffles

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

@mudle

Github repo is down

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

I rushed this post too quickly. I forgot that the official tar file links to github. THANK YOU

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

@mudle

I retrieve the zip archive from the repo.

Where can I upload it ?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

There's a plethora of places. Github, Codeburg, Sourceforge. I'm definitely missing some others too. (There's also Gitlab but I don't really recommend Gitlab because of some recent decisions)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Thankfully I downloaded it when the news about the lawsuit started coming.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

It's kinda sweet to see the community scrambling like this to preserve this.

It's a bit silly and it sure is a lot but it's sweet. I doubted this software was really going anywhere, install files will keep it alive forever, but man the response time on this has been wild to watch.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I've got a DL link I was provided with a build from 02/27 and some tools. PM me and I'll share privately. <3

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I got the gh repo a few days ago
