As you all know or may not know,
Nintendo has taken down Yuzu,
see following post for more info on that:
https://lemmy.world/post/12728163

Now it’s important to preserve the code base of Yuzu,
so hopefully someday, once things cooled down a little,
an active fork can stick it’s head up.

After looking at the Azure DevOps Pipelines
of yuzu-emu/yuzu,
I noticed the latest pipeline ran 8 hours ago
as of writing this post:

Which tells us that the latest commit,
was a merge of PR #13198 from
zhaobot/tx-update-20240301020652

This fork,
is the most up-to-date one / contains the latest commit
done to Yuzu before the take down:
https://github.com/zhaobot/yuzu/tree/tx-update-20240301020652

I encourage you all to pull, star and fork this fork,
not only the master branch, but all branches!
The more copies floating out there,
the better the project will be preserved.

You can pull the code base to your local machine, with:

git clone https://github.com/zhaobot/yuzu.git

(Requires https://git-scm.com/)

And you can pull in all the branches,
as described in this Github Gist:
https://gist.github.com/grimzy/a1d3aae40412634df29cf86bb74a6f72

    You know how drug dealers are able to sell drugs on the dark net and mostly (I guess) get away with it? We need a way of posting source code without it being linked to irl people for projects like these. Just think of all the lawsuits and cease and desists that could be avoided if such a thing could be done (and it’s users actually followed proper opsec like they do on dark net websites)

      Like gitea but federated? git the protocol already supports a lot of this, its just the issue/PR/management side that gives github the edge. Something like gitea but federated/Activity hub would be cool to see, so no one server can ever be taken down.

      Of course you can upload code anonymously… Nintendo was able to sue the yuzu team because the developers made a company (Tropic Haze LLC) around it that apparently is worth millions. If they stayed anonymous Nintendo wouldn’t have had anyone to sue.

      Yuzu was accepting donations on patreon though, which eliminates any chance of staying anonymous
