Yuzu is dead

Yuzu - the popular Nintendo Switch Emulator (and recently Citra - a 3ds emulator developed by the same team as Yuzu) is dead. Nintendo has settled with Yuzu ...

A sad day for emulation and open source advocates, and a reminder that Nintendo can and will destroy you if they see fit.

Hopefully their works will live in the saved repos just as ReVanced was able to live on after YouTube shut the original project down.

      Yuzu claims to have earned 30k from patreon, where they give their most recent builds with the most bug-fixes & optimizations.

      The switch has been out for 7 years. Most they could’ve earned then would be 210k, and even doubling it wouldn’t get close to 2 million

        They’ve been earning 30k USD per month according to their patreon page. I’ve read in a comment that they’ve doubled their supporters at the time TOTK was leaked.

        Interestingly 30k USD per month over 7 years is 2.5m USD, which is pretty close to the 2.3m USD settlement.

      Likely not even close to that amount.
