This also includes ceasing development and destroying their copies of the code.

The GitHub repo page for Yuzu now returns a 404, as well. In addition, the repo for the Citra 3DS emulator was also taken down.

As of at least 23:30 UTC, Yuzu's website and Citra's website have been replaced with a statement about their discontinuation.

Here is the latest stable build of Yuzu that I've got from 24 hours ago for anyone who wasn't able to download it in time.

Anyone downloading executable code from a random person on the internet needs to take a course in digital safety.

I assume you're not being malicious, OXero0, but none of us can possibly know that.

For anyone thinking of downloading it, wait until the popular, vetted forks show up. If you don't already have a working version, you don't need it today.

Yes, everyone should be careful downloading files from a rando on the internet. But at the same time, most people just want to get the files and don't want or know how to deal with the source code. And everything is on archive.org but not everyone knows about it, and they probably don't want to wait for a new emulator when they know the old one works.

I'm not saying that you should trust me, you don't know me, I don't know you, so as you said, it's best to be careful anyway.

Btw, I've read that Yuzu collected telemetry, and now that Nintendo owns the site, it's best to set up a firewall and block Yuzu from accessing the internet so be safe.

But she said shes clean, and the scabs are from a genital tattoo!

So surely its okay for me to fuck the 3 dollar hooker?

Best to get a copy or two of the source code
