A sad day for emulation and open source advocates, and a reminder that Nintendo can and will destroy you if they see fit.

Hopefully their works will live in the saved repos just as ReVanced was able to live on after YouTube shut the original project down.

Wait I didn't get it yet.... Anyone theoretically know of another who knows another who may be able to send me a file related to or unrelated to the given subject?

    The Internet Archive's got your back. As if you needed a reason to donate to them.

    Theoretically this exists: https://github.com/Nikilites/nuzu

    Also, I managed to install the Flatpak of Yuzu off FlatHub about a half hour ago.

    The release downloads work, but I don't expect a long future for that project. The creator publicly posted his country of residence on Reddit, and doesn't have much of a plan to avoid a lawsuit other than "we'll condemn piracy wherever we can."

    On top of that, it has a brand-new Patreon and is missing the source code for core parts of the emulator.
