Yuzu, the popular Nintendo Switch emulator, shut down today, days after Nintendo filed a lawsuit against the developers.

At the same time, Yuzu’s parent company Tropic Haze and Nintendo filed a joint motion to settle the lawsuit, with Yuzu paying Nintendo $2.4 million. They’ll also destroy all copies of Yuzu — as well as 3DS emulator Citra — and give Nintendo control of their Yuzu URL, though this settlement is currently dependent on a judge’s approval.
