Citra will also be shutting down :(
This is the first mention I’ve seen of Citra also shutting down…
Fucking hell… Makes sense though, they earned 30k a year, 200k ain’t enough to challenge the bankroll potential of Nintendo.
this is beyond awful, especially to us with broken switches who want to play the games we own in these times, and everyone who can’t/ won’t afford their shit.
This is the bullshit that deserves shouting and death threats, not people making a subpar decision for a game or a bad one.
I don’t know if anybody knows this, but Nintendo’s aggressive tirade on emulators and fangames is a symptom of Japan’s strict copyright laws, given that it’s a Japanese company and one of those that follow it to its words.
That’s why Sega was so notorious for shutting down fan projects as well in the past (they have since softened their stance however, provided projects are non-commercial), although I don’t think it’s the entire story. Sony lost against the groundbreaking Bleem! emulator back in the PS1 days and I’m not aware of them being litigious in this regard since.
I wanted to see the case on court tho
i havent read the documents but i assume this would be in japanese courts, where it pretty much a guaranteed loss on yuzu’s part.
It is actually in the US court. The documents are quite interesting to read.
Considering they were making enough to agree to pay 2.4 million to Nintendo, they were making bank of the emulator.
If it went to court, this would’ve been much much higher.
Over on Hackernews, a dev from a German emulator project that Nintendo shut down was saying that their settlement included a similarly large sum of money, but it was only actually to be paid if the other conditions of the settlement weren’t met, and that if they were, the “debt” was dropped after x years, basically insurance to ensure compliance.
I’m so mad that Citra was also killed because of this. This means that 3DS emulation is effectively dead, since the next best emulator, Panda3DS, can’t run most games…
Is there any repository that was saved of the latest build? It was pulled off flathub and github…
Get a copy of it now. There may not be more development on it, but you’ll be able to keep playing the games that work already on it
