Citra will also be shutting down :(
I’m so mad that Citra was also killed because of this. This means that 3DS emulation is effectively dead, since the next best emulator, Panda3DS, can’t run most games…
Get a copy of it now. There may not be more development on it, but you’ll be able to keep playing the games that work already on it
I already had it installed via Flathub, hopefully it won’t somehow uninstall itself 😅 (Or that I ever need to wipe my system…)
Is there any repository that was saved of the latest build? It was pulled off flathub and github…
Not that I know of :c If anyone knows, I’d like to know.
Fucking hell… Makes sense though, they earned 30k a year, 200k ain’t enough to challenge the bankroll potential of Nintendo.
this is beyond awful, especially to us with broken switches who want to play the games we own in these times, and everyone who can’t/ won’t afford their shit.
This is the bullshit that deserves shouting and death threats, not people making a subpar decision for a game or a bad one.

wut
This is the first mention I’ve seen of Citra also shutting down…
Same team
Well this isn’t the news I wanted to hear from this…
I don’t know if anybody knows this, but Nintendo’s aggressive tirade on emulators and fangames is a symptom of Japan’s strict copyright laws, given that it’s a Japanese company and one of those that follow it to its words.
That’s why Sega was so notorious for shutting down fan projects as well in the past (they have since softened their stance however, provided projects are non-commercial), although I don’t think it’s the entire story. Sony lost against the groundbreaking Bleem! emulator back in the PS1 days and I’m not aware of them being litigious in this regard since.
I wanted to see the case on court tho
i havent read the documents but i assume this would be in japanese courts, where it pretty much a guaranteed loss on yuzu’s part.
It is actually in the US court. The documents are quite interesting to read.
there could have been a chance then. no shame on the devs though. that is a costly battle to fight.
Considering they were making enough to agree to pay 2.4 million to Nintendo, they were making bank of the emulator.
If it went to court, this would’ve been much much higher.
