Just last week, on Tuesday, February 26th, 2024, news broke out about the Yuzu emulator team being sued by none other than Nintendo themselves, with Nintendo claiming that the emulator apparently allowed users to play certain games early (due to street dates being broken) and also allowing...
They kinda already did with this lawsuit. With this, no emulator is safe.
A lawyer on the !technology@lemmy.world thread mentioned that a settlement doesn’t set a precedent, so they’re safe from that at least.

Mind sharing the links?
I know Ryujinx stopped accepting people into their Discord, but that’s all I’m aware of at the moment.
citrix is gone too. Im at work and im sure a complete list will be available after all this.
Citra and Yuzu were made by the same people, no? Makes sense that they would also pull that.
