Help preserve Yuzu's code base (discuss.tchncs.de)

As you all know or may not know,
Nintendo has taken down Yuzu,
see following post for more info on that:
https://lemmy.world/post/12728163

Now it's important to preserve the code base of Yuzu,
so hopefully someday, once things cooled down a little,
an active fork can stick it's head up.

After looking at the Azure DevOps Pipelines
of yuzu-emu/yuzu,
I noticed the latest pipeline ran 8 hours ago
as of writing this post:

Which tells us that the latest commit,
was a merge of PR #13198 from
zhaobot/tx-update-20240301020652

This fork,
is the most up-to-date one / contains the latest commit
done to Yuzu before the take down:
https://github.com/zhaobot/yuzu/tree/tx-update-20240301020652

I encourage you all to pull, star and fork this fork,
not only the master branch, but all branches!
The more copies floating out there,
the better the project will be preserved.

You can pull the code base to your local machine, with:

git clone https://github.com/zhaobot/yuzu.git

(Requires https://git-scm.com/)

And you can pull in all the branches,
as described in this Github Gist:
https://gist.github.com/grimzy/a1d3aae40412634df29cf86bb74a6f72

Great work, thanks!

Anything on Citra? PineappleEA made it easy enough to also download binaries for Yuzu, but I've got nothing but a flatpak for Citra.

A central place for binaries of both emulators would be great.

Both flatpaks are still available, by the way:

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

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

They can be bundled and exported after downloading, although it will only be for the architecture of your machine.

Damn Citra as well?!..
Nintendo is being relentless..

Luckily the FOSS community is acting like a hydra,
for each head they cut off, 2 new ones will grow back.

Seems like ourfavoritefruits on Github did a good job of forking / preserving Citra:

It was just how the settlement was worded; this team is prevented from distributing "anything that circumvent's Nintendo's blah blah," and Citra was developed by the same team. So, it got taken down all the same :(

I'm going to laugh my ass off when some hackivist group hacks Nintendo for this.
