Citra got caught in the crossfire and now the idea of emulation going extinct is even more concerning.
F Nintendo.

[neccros]

Emulation will never die... just multiply....

[connorsavugot]

I truly feel like I have lost a close friend today😢. RIP Yuzu/Citra

[jesusbarrera]

remember guys, pirating Nintendo games is always morally right

[Restless-Crow]

Citra still works for almost all games. It's also still findable. So until a new one replaces it, it can still be used. Just no more updates.

nintendo: hates piracy
also nintendo: were not gonna add your old games in our e-shop

[gogreengameon]

Having a Patreon was probably the bullet in the foot.

This stops nothing. The github was forked and backed up several times before it came down. People are distributing the latest builds before development stopped. All it will take is to rename the emulator, not publicize it, and have a developer pick up where they left off.

Same stuff different day

Let's hope that Ryujinx stays safe and Mikage and Panda3DS carry the torch that Citra left.
Yuzu's decision to lock content behind a paywall was always a red flag to me. So hopefully that leaves Ryujinx clear.
As for RPCS3, Sony has no solid argument against since as you stated, they literally have firmware wide open to be downloaded. Plus, they wouldn't benefit for going after PCSX2 and Duckstation either.
Hopefully this serves as a cautionary tale for other emulators that rely on dumping keys.

Unfortunately this is official confirmation that Nintendo's tantrums are increasingly getting out of hand, we need to somehow stop them and/or rebel before it's too late... 🤬

[femto]

Honestly I couldn't care less about Yuzu, but Citra is a real issue, the 3DS is dead, the store is dead, the prices are skyrocketing especially for the new 3ds XL models. It is truly a bad news for gaming preservation here. F Nintendo really. I hope a new team of talented people will continue to work on this project under a new name or wathever.

[Sierra_Vice]

I'm more devastated, that they got Citra too...

[phantom_stnd]

We need some nonprofit to help defend and fund emulators in court to stop companies going around bullying projects like this

[MegaManNeo]

That clone already exists.
PineappleEA is based on the last nightly.

[jakesmith]

Still not going to buy all those 5-7 year-old Nintendo games for full or $40 prices. F### that sh1t.

[Toastymuffin]

I was watching closely. Yuzu didn't have patches in EA for TOTK prior for release, only after release. They didn't even work on fixes until the day of the release and were actively banning discussion of the game prior to release within their discord and subreddit. There were third party mods by the pirate community that made the game playable before launch but the main fixes didn't come until after release. I think Nintendo's argument here is that they got a ton of EA subscriptions because they decided to put those patches behind a paywall which encourages people to play this on unofficial hardware, circumvent security measures and play the game "illegally".

[burninator]

As I see it, emulating current gen systems is always going to be a dangerous endeavour. However, when it comes to emulating systems that are from a previous generation which are no longer supported by the manufacturer, have at it.

[andymac]

Emulation might have been set back today, but look at where we are all these years after Bleem went through the same thing. Keep your hairy chin up, this isn't the end, this is just the beginning

[gumiho.c]

Skyline and now yuzu, now all that's left is ryujinx and -egg ns- strato
