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.

      Game preservation is explicitly exclusided from the dmca true, but only only when the game needs online servers which have now been shut down.

      So it would not work in this case at all.

        On an unrelated note…

        Exclusided

        Not sure how your device let that one slip but I’m actually kind of sad it’s not a real word.

      They settled because they actively endorsed and proliferated illegal piracy.

      They couldn’t play that angle with what they were doing.

        Well that’s unfortunate, because Nintendo has a terrible track record for game preservation.
