Even better, there's full archives of all yuzu and citra GitHub repos on archive.org. Yuzu depends on a bunch of other repos they had hosted on their GitHub to build. Same with Citra. All of that is included, plus full git history, in the archive.org 7z files. The torrents are actually really fast right now as there are a lot of seeders. Highly recommend downloading while you can in case Nintendo files a DMCA.

https://archive.org/download/citra-emu_GitHub_03-04-2024
Plus latest Yuzu binaries:

Just want to comment because Im glad to see the tech saavy on lemmy preserving this. Thank you for your service.
What about external dependencies such as breakpad (which was also taken down)? I can't find a single repo with the complete code-base.
Breakpad (and all other dependencies--well anything hosted by Yuzu team on Github anyway) are included in this archive: https://archive.org/download/yuzu-emu_GitHub_03-04-2024
There's one more repo worth archiving that isn't included in this, was taken down at the same time as the others, is needed to build yuzu, and is a submodule in yuzu, yuzu-android, and yuzu-mainline: https://github.com/merryhime/dynarmic.git
I found one copy of it at https://github.com/ihaveamac/dynarmic
Most other submodules are from huge projects with no real risk of vanishing (mozilla, khronos, libusb, etc.), but a few others that might be worth noting (all still online in github) include: merryhime/oaknut, bylaws/libadrenotools, and lat9nq/tzdb_to_nx
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.
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
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.
Forgejo contributors are currently working on federation, but there's still quite a bit of work to be done: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/59
Once it's complete, I imagine it will be merged upstream into gitea
That would be excellent. Thanks for letting me know!
Git can be used over i2p
Great work, thanks!
Anything on Citra? PineappleEA made it easy enough to also download binaries for Yuzu, but I've got nothing but a flatpak for Citra.
A central place for binaries of both emulators would be great.
Both flatpaks are still available, by the way:
https://flathub.org/apps/org.yuzu_emu.yuzu
https://flathub.org/apps/org.citra_emu.citra
They can be bundled and exported after downloading, although it will only be for the architecture of your machine.
All Citra repos including dependencies archived here: https://archive.org/download/citra-emu_GitHub_03-04-2024
Also latest Citra binaries for all platforms here: https://archive.org/download/citra-latest-builds-4th-march-2024
Damn Citra as well?!..
Nintendo is being relentless..
Luckily the FOSS community is acting like a hydra,
for each head they cut off, 2 new ones will grow back.
Seems like ourfavoritefruits on Github did a good job of forking / preserving Citra:
I'm going to laugh my ass off when some hackivist group hacks Nintendo for this.
It was just how the settlement was worded; this team is prevented from distributing "anything that circumvent's Nintendo's blah blah," and Citra was developed by the same team. So, it got taken down all the same :(
Do you know where to grab yuzu-android source code?
Sadly there doesn't appear to be an official Azure DevOps Pipeline for the yuzu-android repo,
so be cautious with following forks!
After searching Github for yuzu-android, and then sorting on "Recently Updated":
https://github.com/search?q=yuzu-android&type=repositories&s=updated
I'd guess one of the following will be the latest yuzu-android code bases:
Looks like software heritage has it archived, up to yesterday's commit: https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/origin/directory/?origin_url=https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu-android
They also archived other yuzu git repos: https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/search/?q=github.com%2Fyuzu-emu%2F&with_visit=true&with_content=true
Might want to grab anything that looks important there in case it got taken down too.
Is there any way to download the whole git repo with history from that archive? Their FAQ seems to indicate there's a way:
If absolutely needed, you can use the more expensive “revision” option of the Download button, that will prepare for you the equivalent of a git bare clone , which you will be able to use offline. This may require quite some time (hours, or even days for huge repositories).
But when I got to a repo I don't see a "revision" option when I click the download button...
Thanks!
