Settlement for the Yuzu Nintendo Switch emulator also resulted in takedown of the Citra 3DS emulator created by the same developers.

The Citra website has been replaced with the same statement made on the Yuzu website, and the GitHub repository is now gone as well.

Other build dependency repos taken down with it:

I'm not sure about voluntary deletions, but a DMCA request will take every known fork down with it.

that's why you don't fork it, you re-upload it when you hear it's stirring

I don't think it does. My fork of it is still up. Forked Tachiyomi when it got taken down too, that's still up as well.

Don't worry I have a codeberg mirror setup as well, and so have gazillion others. The source code ain't going nowhere.

I also found this one for Yuzu, which captured the deleted submodules as well. There's another one for Citra, but the submodules point to the mirrored repos under the uploader's personal account and is missing dynarmic.

Combining the two should bring both Citra and Yuzu back to being compile-able.

git clone https://..../yuzu.git
cd yuzu
git submodule update --init --recursive
tar -cvzf ../yuzu.tar.gz yuzu

And store that on a couple of flash drives.

I dunno if I can directly link it, but it's on IA. Just search "yuzu-source_files" and you should be able to find it.

That fork seems like a cash grab considering it already has a Patreon. The person who uploaded it wiped the commit history and missed the entire submodule graph, including the ones deleted by the Yuzu/Citra team. On the bright side, the Windows build provided appears to be clean.

Have they learned nothing from the lawsuit?
