    I hope the former Yuzu developers can coalesce into one or two projects and continue their work on a completely different project like Suyu, with other repos syncing to it in case it gets taken down later.

      Calling Suyu a “completely different project” is a bit misleading. :D Because it’s just Yuzu with a rebranding or renaming. I don’t think the former Yuzu developers will work on any fork of Yuzu, which is probably part of the settlement.

        Yes, I jest, only in hopes that the other projects are “completely different” for the purposes of the lawsuit and settlement.

          Unfortunately as part of the settlement, the Yuzu team is prohibited from ever working on an emulator for any Nintendo console again. This is why Citra was shut down as well.

      Not likely to happen, since part of the settlement requires all of the devs to stop work on all emulators permanently. It’s not worth the personal risk that they’d be taking on, because they’d be violating the agreement and opening themselves up to direct personal liability. For this lawsuit, they were shielded by the Yuzu LLC. But if they violate that agreement, they’d be opening themselves up to personal liability instead. And nobody wants to be owned by Nintendo for life like Gary Bowser.
