"Suyu Nintendo Switch Emulator Removed from GitLab, Lives on through Self-Hosting"

GitLab has removed the Suyu fork of the Nintendo Switch emulator Yuzu and disabled the accounts of its developers after receiving a DMCA takedown request, although it's unclear if Nintendo is behind it. The request alleges that Suyu violated DMCA 1201 by circumventing Nintendo's technical protection measures, but Suyu claims it doesn't include the same measures as Yuzu. GitLab's response raises questions about its account disabling policy and the handling of DMCA takedown requests. Suyu has indicated it will be hosted elsewhere after being removed from GitLab.

"Nintendo Emulator Yuzu Shut Down, Settles Lawsuit for $2.4M"

Tropic Haze LLC, the company behind Yuzu and Citra emulators, has shut down both projects and associated websites as part of a $2.4M settlement with Nintendo, following legal pressure. Nintendo sued Tropic Haze LLC over the Yuzu emulator, claiming it requires files extracted from a real Switch device to decrypt game files. While emulators themselves are legal, the requirement of proprietary firmware and keys raises legal concerns. The fallout may see Citra reemerge under a different name, and Yuzu potentially reincarnated. The lawsuit highlights the legal complexities surrounding emulator use and copyright infringement.
