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

I'm not sure about voluntary deletions, but a DMCA request will take every known fork down with it.
that's why you don't fork it, you re-upload it when you hear it's stirring
Yep, that was my question, re: DMCA takedowns.
You can always torrent though. There's a torrent I've seen floating round Reddit.
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?
As opposed to a synced cloud download.
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.
Looks like someone uploaded a fork under a new name:
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?
By that time they're far gone, just a cashgrab
Voluntary deletion won’t remove forks, but a DMCA takedown will.
Yeah, wasnt expecting Citra to go down with Yuzu too. Dang
Damn, i didn't back that up
Well now Nintendo can triple fuck itself
