The Citra website has been replaced with the same statement made on the Yuzu website, and the GitHub repository is now gone as well.


Other build dependency repos taken down with it:

When a GH repo is taken down like that, do forks get removed as well?

[-] pivot_root@lemmy.world 34 points 8 months ago

I'm not sure about voluntary deletions, but a DMCA request will take every known fork down with it.

[-] DampCanary@lemmy.world 37 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

that's why you don't fork it, you re-upload it when you hear it's stirring

[-] MeatCat@dubvee.org 7 points 8 months ago

Yep, that was my question, re: DMCA takedowns.

[-] Adanisi@lemmy.zip 4 points 8 months ago

You can always torrent though. There's a torrent I've seen floating round Reddit.

[-] TxzK@lemmy.zip 31 points 8 months ago

I don't think it does. My fork of it is still up. Forked Tachiyomi when it got taken down too, that's still up as well.

Please also do an offline download.

Don't worry I have a codeberg mirror setup as well, and so have gazillion others. The source code ain't going nowhere.

I also found this one for Yuzu, which captured the deleted submodules as well. There's another one for Citra, but the submodules point to the mirrored repos under the uploader's personal account and is missing dynarmic.

Combining the two should bring both Citra and Yuzu back to being compile-able.

offline download

That seems like an oxymoron to me... How does that work?

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

As opposed to a synced cloud download.

[-] pivot_root@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)
git clone https://..../yuzu.git
cd yuzu
git submodule update --init --recursive
tar -cvzf ../yuzu.tar.gz yuzu

And store that on a couple of flash drives.

I dunno if I can directly link it, but it's on IA. Just search "yuzu-source_files" and you should be able to find it.

That fork seems like a cash grab considering it already has a Patreon. The person who uploaded it wiped the commit history and missed the entire submodule graph, including the ones deleted by the Yuzu/Citra team. On the bright side, the Windows build provided appears to be clean.

Have they learned nothing from the lawsuit?

[-] Contend6248@feddit.de 1 points 8 months ago

By that time they're far gone, just a cashgrab

Voluntary deletion won’t remove forks, but a DMCA takedown will.

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 26 points 8 months ago

Yeah, wasnt expecting Citra to go down with Yuzu too. Dang

[-] RVGamer06@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 months ago

Damn, i didn't back that up
