    We’re going to be seeing a lot of these. Until people decide on which fork gets to be 2zu, don’t expect anything from these.

      True, at the very least, the sheer amount of them means that more people will be able to get yuzu while development is at a standstill.

      Since all these forks are based of yuzu souce code and the developers admitted it was primarily for piracy, doesn’t this make these all an easy target to take down? I think this might prevent a true successor with active development from emerging.

        Just because they said it doesn’t mean the new use of the code has the same purpose. Perhaps this fork can claim to be for homebrew apps, for example.

        No. Their statement as part of a settlement has no bearing on unrelated parties. It’s not precedent.

        And the code is already open source, so anyone and everyone has full rights to do anything they want within the license. No one is capable of DMCAing it (or rather, anyone is, but the author can trivially point to the license giving them the full right to modify and redistribute in a counterclaim).

        Yeah but if they’re smart they will work on this anonymously. You can’t force someone to show up to court if their identity is secret

        I don’t get why people are down-voting you. It’s a perfectly legit question that I’m thinking about myself. I’m not a lawyer but there would be ways to shield yourself legally I’m sure.

    I’m sorry but I refuse to switch to an emulator that is not named after a citrus.

      i’d play totk on grapefruit, or kiyomi, or tangor, or even rangpur. perhaps kampei, or jabara, or iyokan. maybe lumia or pompia, or daidai, or chinotto, or calamansi. koji and reikou work too. suenkat/sunki, sudachi, kabosu, oroblanco, dangyuja, amanatsu… the possibilities are endless!

      but maybe citri are too obvious, maybe we should think out of the box… like melons! honeydew sounds like a good emulator name (maybe a bit overused though), and so does argos, gaya or hami too! kajari, mirza, and dosakai as well…

        Sorry, but I’m an emulated fruit purist, and melonDS is never taking over my crusty desmume installation

            Desmume is better because I already have it installed and know exactly how it works. Ymmv

              isn’t desmume intentionally incompatible with a couple games?

              (also. melon is by a trans dev so. Winning)

    💯 points for the name.

    They should make it use the sosumi sound for something so that maybe they can get sued by Apple Inc too 😂

    Poor choice of git hosts though; won’t gitlab.com take down anything that a big company asks them to?

    The two I’ve seen so far are “Nuzu” and Suyu" - if Suyu has the proper structure set up so that Nintendo can’t get at them, I think that’s the name I’d prefer; but otherwise it just feels like people looking to get some cheap fame.

    If either of these projects has an owner with a history of contributing to the Yuzu project, I think that’s the one that’ll succeed.

      They are already doing that, and plenty of commits as well.

      The main question now is if it will be further developed once they get the automatic builds up again. The good news is that Yuzu doesn’t need much improvement now, just a few days before the lawsuit they did some very needed vram usage fixes so now development only has to focus on getting future titles to launch.

      edit: Of course I’m talking about the pc builds, Getting android to work was a nightmare even for the original devs

    Suyu 😂😂😂😂

    It’s like they’re begging Nintendo to sic private investigators and a whole centurion of highly paid lawyers on them.
