This is the best summary I could come up with:
You can read through the entirety of the proposed final judgment and permanent injunction at the bottom of this story; they have not yet been approved by a judge.
It’s not yet clear if this is the literal end of Yuzu or Citra, since copies of both emulators and their source code are in the wild.
Some online supporters specifically mentioned backing up the Yuzu code after Nintendo sued two weeks ago.
But now, Nintendo and Tropic Haze are asking a judge to specifically find that Yuzu circumvents its copyright protections by using those keys, even if it doesn’t come with them.
Hoeg suspects Yuzu settled because Nintendo at least gave them a cap on their liability.
"It’s a lot of money, but it’s a known amount, and I suspect the advice they were getting was that their exposure was high and they had a good chance to lose after paying lawyers for a long time."
