Edit#3: Yuzu and Citra have now been removed from the Flathub website, but are however still available via their flatpak commands:
flatpak install flathub org.yuzu_emu.yuzu
flatpak install flathub org.citra_emu.citra
For more context, A Flathub admin responded to someone on the Flathub Matrix channel saying that Yuzu won't be removed from Flathub completely until they "understand legal implications better"
Would make more sense to be cloning Ryuijunx repository since its fully open source. Yuzu had some closed source code, so its less easily fully preserved.
The repo could be shut down/removed, so Having copies is always a good thing. I think I read earlier that the yuzu source had already made it's way into the wild?
I've made local copies of the code base and executables for both emus. Just in case.
Not that I think it's needed per se. Projects were open source, and while the devs are barred from continuing application development... It's a matter of time before the dust settles and some nerds pick up the code base and work on it
(for now any forks are just copy pastes made by randos, but that's now)
The team behind Yuzu was also the team behind Citra so unfortunately Citra is gone as well. But Citra has also been forked so source code is still available.
For me what is most ironic is I probably would've never went out of my way to start downloading some emulators and ROMs until hearing about all these kerfuffles
It's kinda sweet to see the community scrambling like this to preserve this.
It's a bit silly and it sure is a lot but it's sweet. I doubted this software was really going anywhere, install files will keep it alive forever, but man the response time on this has been wild to watch.
