There's still time!!! Get Yuzu and Citra on Flathub now if you don't already have it!!!!

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

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

Edit: Just a note: Yuzu's latest build is mainline-0-1734. The latest build of Yuzu on Flathub is mainline-0-1733.

Edit#2: As a commenter on this post mentioned: Flathub has now been updated for the latest build of Yuzu -> mainline-0-1734

Also: Thank you @Krafting@lemmy.world for providing a link to a post that consults preserving/forking Yuzu’s codebase.

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"

Thank you to ObjectiveJellyfish36 for providing the image and information about the Flathub Admin's response.

Don't forget this is a thing aswell.

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 downloaded the Yuzu flatpak onto a USB stick and I'll send a zip of it with install instructions if anyone wants it.

Or, you know, their website...

Ah nvm, I see their github has been taken down.

That 404's on the download link.

My bad. That's correct. I rushed to get this post out ASAP, i'll edit it in. Thanks!!

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)

does anyone have a fork of citra and the apps they can post? i see yuzu not citra

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.

@mudle

Github repo is down

I rushed this post too quickly. I forgot that the official tar file links to github. THANK YOU

@mudle

I retrieve the zip archive from the repo.

Where can I upload it ?

There's a plethora of places. Github, Codeburg, Sourceforge. I'm definitely missing some others too. (There's also Gitlab but I don't really recommend Gitlab because of some recent decisions)

Thankfully I downloaded it when the news about the lawsuit started coming.

I've got a DL link I was provided with a build from 02/27 and some tools. PM me and I'll share privately. <3
