Quietly following on the heels of the injunction ruling against Yuzu emulator that resulted in its removal and ceased development, popular Nintendo 3DS emulator Citra is following suit. Yuzu's parent company, Tropic Haze LLC, is also the owner of the development team for Citra 3DS emulator, and because of the recent ruling, Citra has also met the same fate. As of current writing, Citra has been removed from download on its official website, and the Citra GitHub repository has been taken down as well.

An official statement from Bunnei, a representative for both Citra and Yuzu, was posted on the Discord channel for Yuzu, saying that they never intended to allow piracy to impact Nintendo, and that playing games on "unauthorized hardware" is harmful, so development on both emulators will cease as of today. Citra's Discord server has also locked itself down, following the announcement.

I loved "my" Disney from the first "Snow White" Movie until.....

Yes I understand that very much, Disney have not doing good jobs to upload more old Disney shows on Disney +. so I understand you are disappointed with that, I'm as well since it's many show I miss watching like Tarzan TV serie and Aladdin TV series.

I wonder if anyone have made the backups of the latest versions that were released?

I just downloaded the source a few minutes before the github page was gone.

Wow what terrible news. Thank you Nintendo assholes.

Why does this happen? first Yuzu and now Citra, I really liked that emulator since I could play free Switch games on my gaming laptop and the same goes for Citra. Now I have to keep the 3DS so that I can play 3DS games, even though I really want to sell it. I find it very annoying. Forte me to get the Wii U or Nintendo gamecube before Nintendo shuts down Dolphine and Cemu. Well, that gives me the reason to never sell a Nintendo switch again.

Citra is a product of the Yuzu devs. They probably voluntarily gave up Citra.
CEMU won't get shut down because CEMU doesn't need keys to run. Decrypted WiiU roms exists. This is the Switch scenes' biggest oversight, decrypting roms on the fly is a big no-no.

Okay, that's it. Nintendo has officially pissed me off.

I'm happy Cemu and Dolphine still exist so I can play Wii U and GameCube games until I get hands on Wii U or GameCube.

Same here and I hope we are getting more 3DS games now since Citra don't exist anymore.

Congratulations,Shitendo.
You are on the Way to overrule Disney as the shittiest Company of the World.

Disney and Nintendo are very much alike indeed nowadays.

I for one will make it a point from now on to never buy anything Nintendo ever again.

We need to buy games on Switch or it's not use to have Nintendo switch to begin with.

At this point, I may actually start washing my hands from them. It's literally like watching my childhood heroes become the villains.

Become? Dude this behaviour is nothing new, just wait until you discover the time they hired people to stalk people hacking their systems. Or the time they were screwing content creators on YT any time they tried to fairly use Nintendo media. Or innumerable times they've pulled fan projects down when there was no need to.

Nintendo fucking sucks and if you continue to financially support them then you condone their bullshit.

The main problem of Nintendo is being overly protective of its IPs, which negatively affects our community many customers here. By "customers" though it doesn't includes pirates, which by definition aren't customers and don't really get a say in any of this.
I'm sure there are other problems, sure. but that's not even close to the shittiest companies. As far as I know Nintendo doesn't have a plethora of sexual misconducts cases, and isn't known for forcing crunch on its teams. And let's not start with Disney or this will go on forever.

I'll never understand why there are fanboys who defend a multi-billion dollar company to the ends of the earth.

Not everything they do is worth defending. But the argument "it's a billion dollar company" is getting tiring too. I understand this argument when it comes to, I don't know, putting more resources on a better Pokemon game, sure. But I fail to see how that argument makes it more ok to pirate their games.
Especially not the way it was done with TotK with hundred of people taunting Nintendo and posting tons of stuff online. That was never ok, be it Nintendo or another company.

If you're going to pirate, just say you're a pirate and be done with it. The constant "justifications" make the community look bad. Emulating a new release that'll sell millions worldwide is NOT preservation.

Yes, exactly. This should be highlighted in the front page of this site. IT MAKES THE COMMUNITY LOOK BAD. It weakens every legit complain about Nintendo, their constant battle against emulation, their fear of piracy, their lack of care for preservation, down to them shutting down Melee tournaments.

Piracy.

Piracy.

How Yuzu are down and we have only Ryujinx but before or later Nintendo are going to take down Ryujinx as well.

Pirates are customers. They buy consoles and I'm 100% sure the success of the Switch is partially due it its easily piratable state, just like the Wii and DS.

Sexual misconduct cases are completely irrelevant to the topic.

Billion dollar company = evil company. It may sound oversimplistic and I don't wanna write an essay about it but that's just the harsh truth, you really are naive or delusional if you think otherwise.

The TotK leak gave massive free publicity to the game. And people probably bought consoles to pirate it.

I will never not support piracy for a company that is so overtly hostile towards its fans.

Pirated copy does not equal lost sale.
The ones who have intention to pirate have zero incentive to support your shitty company.
The one who want play once and be done would just rent a copy at cheap or buy second hand and resell shorty after.
There's also the folks that like to test games before they decide to buy, it has always been like that.

The mass market is made of normies not tech savvy people who knows what keys or bios are. Once this ass company start to realize that downloaded copies isn't lost sales maybe there's hope for them to exist in the next decade or two.

I do hope that a ransom /anonymous hacker group would fuck them up in order to teach them a lesson to not go messing around with people's rights. You put yourselves into this situation so manup and accept your miserable fate that is near to come if you continue to act like a-holes. I really feel sorry for companies like Insomniac Games that don't deserve what happened to them while a-holes companies like this are having their fix.

I'm happy Cemu and Dolphine still exist

Don't say it too loud. Not that Nintendo dmca'ing it xD

Exacly. Pirated copy does not equal lost sale, this needs to be repeated over and over (and why not highlighted in the front page of this site )
