## Yuzu & Citra Removal in the Next Update 0.8.0b

Hello everyone!

First this is not the real development blog post but a tiny extra one to adress one key issue:

As you might have heard Yuzu & Citra is no more and anyone supplying Yuzu or Citra is breaking the court settlement and could be targeted for litigation.

So as an effect of this, the RetroDECK Team will remove Yuzu & Citra from RetroDECK at the start of the next update 0.8.0b.

## Ryujinx will be included  in 0.8.0b

Ryujinx will be included as the default for Switch emulation as of 0.8.0b.
Please do an in-game save for all the games you want to transfer the save files from Yuzu.

There will probably be a lot of migration guides written all over the internet in a short from all over.
All reference to Yuzu will be purged from the wiki and other places within our control

## For 3DS Emulation

We are looking into alternatives like:

https://panda3ds.com/ and https://mikage.app/.

### Why is Citra affected?

- Citra and Yuzu where made by the same company in US.
- The Yuzu and Citra teams where mostly the same.
- Yuzu and Citra shared code.
- In the settlement both Citra and Yuzu where affected.
- The Citra and Yuzu discord confirmed their shutdown.

### What about the Citra Core in RetroArch?

RetroDECK syncs the core list of RetroArch in each update, as long as the Citra core is part of that it will be included in RetroDECK.
If Libretro is removing it at a later time, it will be removed in the what ever the next update of RetroDECK after that.

###  We are following the development of this and this statement might change

As everything is up in the air and constantly changing, we are trying to provide the information as it is right now in the current moment as of this writing.
Things could maybe change for Citra or there can be other solutions.

Thanks for your understanding!
