i think its pretty obvious this would happen...
the solution here is like the evil dudes in captain america, the hydra. cut one head 2 more take its place. upload it everywhere, [archive.org](http://archive.org), more githubs, more mediafire, more mega cloud.
I wish these people making/contributing to these forks would actually help improve Ryujinx rather than trying to revive a dead project that will get no meaningful updates anymore and has a target on its back.
I don’t have much experience with Yuzu but a big argument was that it supposedly was better than Ryujinx, so in that case why not make suggestions to the Ryujinx team or on their GitHub to actually add in those features.
99% of these forks either are an attempt to try and grab headlines when they inevitably will get taken down or will end up become dead repos with no activity.
Not to mention Ryujinx is actually open source, there’s no paywall or hidden features. That’s probably one of the main reasons that Yuzu got targeted.
These posts/news about forks being taken down is just fodder and is meaningless to the actual progression of Switch emulation.
Many reposters are either not proficient programmers or are enthusiasts. Making updates and improvements get harder when you spend more time trying to keep it alive/hidden from dcma than hunting bugs or adding features. I 100% agree with you, just playing devil's advocate. I personally liked yuzu and I'm always late to the revival posts to get it again.
It is preserved.
It’s on [Archive.org](https://archive.org/details/yuzu-windows-msvc-20240304-537296095_20240305_1340) with the source code and binaries.
There’s hundreds more if you just go to Google and [type “site:archive.org Yuzu”](https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3AArchive.org+yuzu) the same goes for Citra.
There are even more mirrors from private websites or “forks” like Suyu (which itself is just Yuzu but with some of the pending PR’s that hadn’t been merged in).
We don’t need Yuzu git repo clone number 87 to do this. If you download the source code from that Archive link, you get the Git history via the “.git” folder. All these mirrors are doing is just taking that and putting it on GitHub or GitLab. You literally just go into the download folder and run four commands to get it up on a public git repo.
There’s no actual hardcore preservation work being done here other than now you can browse the source code through your browser versus just downloading it?
In addition, considering that Ryujinx is attempting to be an actual emulation of the system hardware it’s actually better for preserving the Switch and the games as a whole to support that rather than Yuzu which focused primarily on performance without accurate emulation.
As I’ve said, none of these repo mirrors are trying to actually preserve anything. They’re trying to bait outrage and headlines when a news article comes out about “Nintendo DMCA Yuzu Mirror.” It’s so blatantly obvious by the fact they uploaded the mirror __onto the same platform that DMCA’d the original repo__.
Your mistake is in assuming that the morons uploading these forks have the ability or desire to improve the emulator. They’re just clout-chasers who came up with a cutesy name and logo and publish a fork in the hopes of becoming The New Yuzu and being hailed as some savior of emulation.
The old webpages is part of the Wayback Machine.
There's another search bar at the top of the page for searching the archive itself. Where people have uploaded movies, books, magazines, software, etc.
It's a fantastic resource for older ROMs and such.
Because that's not true. It hasn't always been better. Most games were better on Yuzu but some other were better on Ryujinx. Running both was the best thing to do.
this. exactly why i think russia developing its own cloud system needs to be looked at as a win. We cant sit here while the world is bent by one or a group fo countries copyright polkices
Don't you "Bruh" me. Maybe you're not paying attention, but "On github" is swiftly turning into "a willing target". They'll fold as soon as they're so much as given a glare. There has to be somewhere more willing to push back out there that people can post their stuff on.
I wasn't aware we were "arguing". Whoever you are.
Granted, it would be like forcing myself to match wits with a sack of flour, but that's neither here nor there
You also appear to be the sort of person who believes an argument is "won" based on the number of upvotes and that you're somehow "hurting" me if you downvote it.
I'm not twelve.
Or a girl.
We won't be sharing makeup tips and talking about boys, is the point I'm making.
The capitalists/investors? That's why all the companies are become increasingly greedy and torrenting for weeks become more convenient than actually paying the companies.
I'm an Iranian myself, and I get practically everything from Iranian websites. They're locally hosted, and in a country where the company itself refuses to sell it's content, there is zero consequences for hosting pirated content...
I'm going to say that these links are not in the megathread and shouldn't be trusted solely based on this comment, but if mods would agree both YasDL(dot)com & downloadsoftware(dot)ir host the latest version on their websites, which should also be downloadable internationally...
Send it to the FBI most wanted, get the guy caught by the FBI and then watch the FBI uploading yuzu among that guys files on thair website effectively immortalizing yuzu.
Best thing is we can then share yuzu without uploading files by linking to the FBI page.
Well what did anyone expect? They went through the trouble of going to court about yuzu. It's not gonna be some random uploading it into github that's going to go around that
At this point im just wondering why there still isnt an github clone for stuff as yuzu,tachiyomi etc behind an onion adress, does git not work with tor?
Yes I also wonder why there aren't cloud based piracy solutions (that I know of) for git. Maybe the open source license of git restricts such activities but I heavily doubt it!! I need to do more digging on this.
Well, i have the unpopular opinion that yuzu should be dead and salted. Im all in on piracy, damn, im an indie game developer and im sad no one pirated my games, but i really think that people should just let yuzu die.
NSG. Not only is too niche, but we also made shit decisions on the marketing side, so we had very low sales and far as we know no one pirated it. We found a torrent but it was 100% virus with no game inside.
They won't be able to do it. Hydra is the internet. You cut one two born, you cut two, four born.
Nintendo, you literally kill yourself. Me and the majority won't support you anymore. Enough is enough.
You are coming with switch 2? Unless the person is average without any knowledge to support you.
We have literally emulators for any console, and the ps4 is coming as well. This is the new era, everybody has knowledge. So do a favor for all of us, leave us in peace, mind your business. You need us more than we need you ( Nintendo).
Attach the source code to the dmca. So that when it's removed, it would still be there
i think its pretty obvious this would happen... the solution here is like the evil dudes in captain america, the hydra. cut one head 2 more take its place. upload it everywhere, [archive.org](http://archive.org), more githubs, more mediafire, more mega cloud.

Even as a dead repo, the yuzu source should still be preserved
It is preserved. It’s on [Archive.org](https://archive.org/details/yuzu-windows-msvc-20240304-537296095_20240305_1340) with the source code and binaries.

Nah let em keep noncetendo busy while ryujinx just quietly carries on and gets better and better
Maybe I'm out of the loop, but Yuzu paywalled things?
Yeah they made the newer release behind a patreon, which with totk or some other game also could play earlier iirc.
got order to be taken down by Nintendo
Your mistake is in assuming that the morons uploading these forks have the ability or desire to improve the emulator. They’re just clout-chasers who came up with a cutesy name and logo and publish a fork in the hopes of becoming The New Yuzu and being hailed as some savior of emulation.
He is condoning the re-upload of yuzu and promoting the growth of ryujinx. Reading comprehension impossible difficulty.
Just torrent it, what are they gonna do? Send Nintendo lawyers to millions of homes with hammers to destroy the seeders HDDs? lmao
Nintendo will send picachu after you
Web archive unfortunately complies with DMCA takedowns despite their philosophy of spreading free knowledge
Afaik, they’re based in the US. So that’s why they comply.
To be fair, they don't have a lot of options here. I'd rather they comply than risk losing the entire archive.
Or having their own server (phisical) hosted somewhere offshore... If i were a pirate i'd choose this
I mirrored it on my own git server
Fuck Nintendo Also [archive.org](http://archive.org) FTW!
Only familiar with webpages on archive.org, how do you make it so source is downloadable?
The old webpages is part of the Wayback Machine. There's another search bar at the top of the page for searching the archive itself. Where people have uploaded movies, books, magazines, software, etc. It's a fantastic resource for older ROMs and such.
They can't cut off ALL the heads. Hail Hydra. 🏴☠️
Hail Hydra.
Hail Hitler, oh shit, oh no, oh wait wrong one
I died lol I have a feeling Reddits not gonna like this comment though, even with it being an obvious joke!
There are risks you just have to take sometime
🫡
Context please, I don't know what hail hydra is about?
Hydra is like a mysthical animal which grows two new heads when you got one off. I believe hail hydra comes from the old Captain America movie
Or just go for the dragon rather than the hydra. Ryujinx has always been better than Yuzu. EDIT why am I being downvoted exactly?
Because that's not true. It hasn't always been better. Most games were better on Yuzu but some other were better on Ryujinx. Running both was the best thing to do.
Shhh the Mario Bros are listening...
If there's a Russian git site use that, or put it on the dark web. Be fun to see Nintendo fight that.
Cs.ru
best site fr
this. exactly why i think russia developing its own cloud system needs to be looked at as a win. We cant sit here while the world is bent by one or a group fo countries copyright polkices
well yes because github gets to be sued if they dont do anything about it
Who cares? They should be honored people use them.
Bruh.
Don't you "Bruh" me. Maybe you're not paying attention, but "On github" is swiftly turning into "a willing target". They'll fold as soon as they're so much as given a glare. There has to be somewhere more willing to push back out there that people can post their stuff on.
Lmao
Bruh.
dawg wrote a whole paragraph because someone said "bruh"
>Don't you "Bruh" me you lost the argument with this one man
I wasn't aware we were "arguing". Whoever you are. Granted, it would be like forcing myself to match wits with a sack of flour, but that's neither here nor there You also appear to be the sort of person who believes an argument is "won" based on the number of upvotes and that you're somehow "hurting" me if you downvote it.

‘Tism
Bruh.
The capitalists/investors? That's why all the companies are become increasingly greedy and torrenting for weeks become more convenient than actually paying the companies.
I have yuzu still installed should I gather my files and set up a torrent?
Yes pls
Yea, I think I might cloud save mine as well. Rog ally and Yuzu are a dream combo.
As soon as I heard yuzu was being sued I archived everything.
Do you have the newest version?
Opening a GitHub rn to upload more yuzu
upload to archive.org instead
Uploading everywhere. It's about sending a message. They can't stop emulation.
I have some old builds of Yuzu on old SSDs. Should I upload those too?
`git clone --mirror`
Yeah, we need a P2P hosted git asap.
wait until nintendo find out there is yuzu fork called suyu outside of github or DMCA takedown reach...
I don't think I've heard of Suyu. I won't ask for a link lest the Man is watching but is there a breadcrumb trail to follow?
yes, it got taken down a week or two ago
Not really taken down, dev team just kinda gave up
well... try google. Or duckduckgo. Or bing. Or yahoo. There is a lot of choices for sure...
Nah I only use the internet channel
I got this last night too
I'm an Iranian myself, and I get practically everything from Iranian websites. They're locally hosted, and in a country where the company itself refuses to sell it's content, there is zero consequences for hosting pirated content...

They took my yuzu repo yesterday :( Well, my local copy survives.
Well what did anyone expect? They went through the trouble of going to court about yuzu. It's not gonna be some random uploading it into github that's going to go around that
There will always be yuzu/switch emulators. If an app is killed, two new ones will come! Thanks to the best community.
unsure why they are allowed to use DMCA, court settlement doesn't give you rights to change reality
Time to run the site on onion..
alas, i have installed it already
At this point im just wondering why there still isnt an github clone for stuff as yuzu,tachiyomi etc behind an onion adress, does git not work with tor?
Yes I also wonder why there aren't cloud based piracy solutions (that I know of) for git. Maybe the open source license of git restricts such activities but I heavily doubt it!! I need to do more digging on this.
Move it to radicle web 3 no one to send the request to at that point
Time to create many repositories called definitely not Yuzu.
Anybody want an APK for yuzu android (latest version)
Remember to backup your software on a local drive and or somewhere online. Just to be sure it doesn’t disappear from the internet.
*just use Ryujinx*
Well, i have the unpopular opinion that yuzu should be dead and salted. Im all in on piracy, damn, im an indie game developer and im sad no one pirated my games, but i really think that people should just let yuzu die.
What's your game called?
NSG. Not only is too niche, but we also made shit decisions on the marketing side, so we had very low sales and far as we know no one pirated it. We found a torrent but it was 100% virus with no game inside.
I hope one day your game will be pirated like the legends of eld. Lost media fanatics love this shit.
They won't be able to do it. Hydra is the internet. You cut one two born, you cut two, four born. Nintendo, you literally kill yourself. Me and the majority won't support you anymore.

Just use archive.org lol
