Too soon https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/03/gitlab-takes-down-nintendo-switch-emulator-suyu-due-to-the-dmca/. Better let it sit for a while ? It is not like yuzu is broken, isn't it?

infinitymdm commented 7 months ago

Actually they just DMCA'd gitlab. As you might notice, I linked to suyu's own git instance at https://git.suyu.dev.

malfisya commented 7 months ago

Yes, i just realized that. Also a few things :

  1. yuzu might become a problem, if it needs a rebuild against its dependency. Maybe just point the source to suyu, but might as well add suyu then.
  2. suyu is still in its infancy and it is still looking for more devs (also your link to source seems broken?).
  3. I am still in the opinion to hold off, until yuzu is broken. I see a few distro are already pull it down from their repo tho.
infinitymdm commented 7 months ago

Yeah, my main concern is that yuzu will stop being viable soon once dependencies are updated. Trying to get ahead of that. I've already built and tested it - it's mostly a drop-in replacement for yuzu, with just a little more setup since you have to provide your own firmware and everything.

As for the link to source, looks like they went and changed their tags 🤦‍♂️

Given how this is all playing out, I would be a bit (a lot, actually) hesitant to have any Nintendo emulator in the repo. Certainly not until we see what distros with lawyers do in response.

malfisya commented 7 months ago

Fair point. We just added melonDS, lol.

infinitymdm commented 7 months ago

I definitely understand the need for caution here. But recall that yuzu settled with Nintendo; there has been no new precedent passed down from any court. In my opinion (disclaimer: not a lawyer, this is not legal advice, et cetera) things should be business as usual in the emulation world.

As I said though, I definitely understand the need for caution. Waiting to see how things play out with other distros seems like a very reasonable path forward.

TraceyC77 commented 7 months ago

Agreed with letting this sit until we see what other distros with lawyers do. I'm not so worried about Solus getting sued (the most I'd expect is a DMCA takedown request). I'd be concerned that with so many packages already needing maintainers and updates, if we add a new package that we then have to take down, it's a lot of unnecessary work that would be better used toward what we already have.

malfisya commented 7 months ago

@infinitymdm do you have package.yml for this? If not too bothersome, can you share it with me?

Lets revisit this soon. lime3ds will land in repo soon to replace citra and it would be nice to have this available in repo again. FYI , only one distro ships this in their repo according to repology.

infinitymdm commented 4 months ago

At this stage I'm not super confident in suyu as a yuzu replacement - their dev branch hasn't seen a single commit in a month. Ryujinx is probably a more viable alternative.

malfisya commented 4 months ago

If it is ryujinx (which I am fine with), then it is not exactly a replacement for yuzu but completely new package. I should try the flatpak first and see if I like it. It is a shame suyu doesn't become a viable fork.

Edit: Oh, ryunjinx is using dotnet, lucky we got that updated and have a person with experience with it. Still looks like will be a pain writing the recipe.

Luckily I had a completely working package.yml just sitting in my private repo.
