suyu, prounced “sue-you”
Shots fired
😂 You can never beat FOSS, I guess.
Nintendo:
We look forward to fucking up some more open source developers
The lawsuit against Yuzu is going to have the exact opposite effect they hope.
All it’s doing is increasing public awareness of the project, and because it’s open source it will just sprout more heads like a hydra, and it will live on forever.
I really doubt that they are that stupid. My guess is that they are hoping to hinder the development of the project for a bit to delay the switch 2 implementation in yuzu or a future switch 2 focused fork.
Also, all the ppl that were directly associated with the group are no longer legally allowed (or at least would risk a lawsuit against them) to contribute. So a lot of expertise got lost.
Exactly this. Nintendo lawyers were after the people, not the project. Else they’d go after Ryujinx too (they may still to be fair)
Okay, how would sintendo know if some of the original Yuzu devs are working on it if there is no trail leading back to them? If I were a Yuzu dev, I’d just start a new account and get right back to work on a fork that is gaining traction just to spite those subhumans working for a legal dictatorship.
Because you’d need perfect infosec to pull this off
Lol. Sure because those ppl are not publicly known. Coding style, writing style on issues etc.
Opsec can be hard especially when you have to have a public facing entity.
Just simply too much risk for having nothing to gain only to lose.
If I were a Yuzu dev,
But you are not. And you are just talking and doing nothing.
This is the correct answer.
It’s like destroying a barracks full of elite soldiers and then going, “Don’t worry. We have plenty more barracks.”
The devs had years of experience with 2 very successful emulators . Any new project would require some serious knowledge of the switch and low level programming in a variety of domains. There are a handful of people able to do that. Im guessing they were all either working on yuzu or ryujinx. The yuzu team is no longer allowed to work on emulation so that just leaves ryujinx who are already working on their own.
I want the forks to succeed but its not your standard program we are talking about. Then we have the fact that any successor would have an immediate target on them. Thats a tall ask for anyone.
Is it possible for the devs to create a free guide? Or offer classes in “emulation”?
I doubt it, they need to leave the scene as part of the deal. Could they come along and do something anonymously , sure but I doubt its worth the risk to them.
That’s what everyone tells themselves because “haha Nintendo stupid”.
No it’s not going to have the opposite effect. Best case scenario a different team will take over the project and continue, which is not impossible, but far from a given. More awareness to an abandoned project? Yes, but the entire point is that Yuzu developers won’t add Switch 2 support, and that was assured.
“We are trying to get the builds working.” And begging for contributors on discord. This isn’t a real project, just a reupload of yuzu’s source code with some overly optimistic aspirations.
The fact that they actually have
dynarmicandsiritsources puts this one a step ahead of the failed-and-now-closed Nuzu fork.
I hope the former Yuzu developers can coalesce into one or two projects and continue their work on a completely different project like Suyu, with other repos syncing to it in case it gets taken down later.
Calling Suyu a “completely different project” is a bit misleading. :D Because it’s just Yuzu with a rebranding or renaming. I don’t think the former Yuzu developers will work on any fork of Yuzu, which is probably part of the settlement.
Yes, I jest, only in hopes that the other projects are “completely different” for the purposes of the lawsuit and settlement.
Unfortunately as part of the settlement, the Yuzu team is prohibited from ever working on an emulator for any Nintendo console again. This is why Citra was shut down as well.
– A wild Codeberg appeared. –
Codeberg is a collaboration platform providing Git hosting and services for free and open source software, content and projects.
The organization selected the European Union for their headquarters and computer infrastructure, due to members’ concerns that a software project repository hosted in the United States could be removed if a malicious actor made bad faith copyright claims under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
In June 2022 the Software Freedom Conservancy’s “Give Up Github” campaign (in response to the GitHub Copilot licensing controversy) promoted Codeberg as an alternative to GitHub.
