## Yuzu & Citra-SA Removal in the Next Update 0.8.0b
|
|
|
|
Hello everyone!
|
|
|
|
As you might have heard Yuzu & Citra (stand alone version) 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.
|
|
|
|
We are trying to keep this topic updated with information as we get it.
|
|
|
|
### 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.
|
|
|
|
## Regarding Switch Emulation
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
|
|
## Regarding 3DS Emulation
|
|
|
|
### What about the Citra Core in RetroArch?
|
|
|
|
- RetroDECK synchronizes the entire core list of RetroArch in each update.
|
|
- If the Citra core is part of that it will be included in RetroDECK.
|
|
- If Libretro is removing it later, it will be removed in the whatever the next update of RetroDECK after that.
|
|
|
|
So if the Citra core exists it will be the default for 3DS emulation.
|
|
|
|
### Standalone Alternatives
|
|
|
|
We are looking into alternatives like:
|
|
|
|
- [Panda3DS](https://panda3ds.com/)
|
|
- [Mikage](https://mikage.app/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Will you delete any savefiles?
|
|
|
|
No, we are not trying to delete any files important to the users except for the ability to run Yuzu and Citra in RetroDECK.
|
|
|
|
## What are the new Defaults?
|
|
|
|
- Ryujinx
|
|
- Citra-core in RetroArch
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Where are the Yuzu and Citra files located?
|
|
|
|
~ = home catalog
|
|
/.var/ is hidden
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
~/.var/app/net.retrodeck.retrodeck/cache/yuzu/
|
|
~/.var/app/net.retrodeck.retrodeck/config/yuzu/
|
|
~/.var/app/net.retrodeck.retrodeck/data/yuzu/
|
|
/retrodeck/saves/switch/
|
|
/retrodeck/mods/Yuzu/

|
/retrodeck/mods/Citra/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Where did all the Yuzu and Citra guides go on the Wiki?
|
|
|
|
They have been moved to the Archive Section.
|
|
|
|
## Is the planned feature of Yuzu (Custom) removed?
|
|
|
|
Yes, the planned feature has been removed, but not all the effort was lost as this turned into Ponzu.
|
|
|
|
### Q: What is Ponzu?
|
|
Ponzu is in part the former Yuzu (Custom) AppImage Loader and tool that we had planned for 0.8.0b with a changed scope.
|
|
|
|
If the user has personal backups of any dead emulators in AppImage format, they can temporarily be used with RetroDECK as a safe way to migrate to other solutions.
|
|
|
|
### Q: Should this be seen as official support for the removed emulators?
|
|
|
|
No we provide zero support, the the only official emulators we support for those systems are Ryujinx and Citra-core in RetroArch (as long as it is shipped as part of RetroArch).
|
|
|
|
Since the first day of our announcement on both Citra's and Yuzu's removal.
|
|
|
|
We made it extremely clear that we will not provide any new: configurations, bug fixes, improvements, or any kind of support at all, for the these removed emulators. There is also a very substantial risk that future updates of RetroDECK will break the current temporary compatibility, this to be seen as a as-is solution.
|
|
|
|
At the same moment we also updated our social rules to reflect that any type of discussion about these emulators will come with a warning first and then a ban.
|
|
|
|
The only recommended use case of Ponzu is the intended function as safe way to migrate to Ryujinx or the Citra-core (finish up, save and move).
|
|
|
|
We urge everyone to stop using these emulators.
|
|
|
|
### Q: Will you be looking in into other forks of Citra & Yuzu later and add into RetroDECK?
|
|
|
|
First, this type of event makes it ripe for scammers.
|
|
|
|
We would urge all users to be extra careful and not blindly downloading solutions and any type of fan patches/tweaks for the dead emulators that we have seen circulating.
|
|
|
|
**Regarding forks:**
|
|
|
|
We will not investigate any forks until they have proven they are good, ethical and safe. But also vetted by the FOSS community and proven they are long lasting.
|
|
|
|
## Will Ponzu be a part of 0.8.0b?
|
|
|
|
Yes
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
|
|
Thanks for your understanding!
