Help preserve Yuzu's code base (discuss.tchncs.de)

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

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

Thanks I’ll back these up as well!
