Has any specific Yuzu fork been established as the new standard yet? Early on there were a bunch of clout chasers announcing forks and then only making surface level tweaks to the branding, because they really had no idea what they were doing.
Nope. There was a bunch of hype around `Suyu`, even in the news, before it was discovered the developer was a minor who had no idea what he was doing.
No rational person is going to fight a DMCA from Nintendo. Nintendo would in no circumstances not file a DMCA against a Yuzu fork. Additionally, the settlement required that all of the core developers, who would know it best, are never permitted to work on a Nintendo emulator ever again. Thus, Yuzu is completely dead.
Well, at least we still have Ryujinx. Citra getting caught in the Yuzu crossfire is worse because there isn't another mature 3DS emulator to fall back on.
These are the same devs who thought profiting tens of thousands off this project was a smart idea, right?
The profit has nothing to do with it. Bleem! was profit driven by design, for example. (Bleem! is also irrelevant being decided before the DMCA provisions came into effect.)
Is it a smart idea? No; but a profitable emulator should be just as legal as an unprofitable one. But where it involves breaking digital locks, as Nintendo may successfully demonstrate, the DMCA makes both illegal.
