The two mainstream ones are out of development. I live under rocks, but not so many rocks that I don't know this.

I was hoping for either a backup of them as they were, or some fork(s) that continued development.

Suyu, it's the continuation/fork of Yuzu:

Also Azahar, the continuation/fork of Citra:

Suyu is just a renamed Yuzu.

As soon as Yuzu wrecked by Nintendo; They took the source code, changed the name to Suyu and then done little to no changes to it.

They also caused lots of drama within their own Discord. One of the people who were involved, left because of threats, issues with the “developers” and overall childish behavior.

Sudachi was an actual fork and really in development by the developer. However from what, I remember, he quit developing it because of continuously threats, insults and no appreciation from the community.

Oh did not know that, sad to hear.

They did remove traffic to the old Yuzu domains though, which now are in the hands of Nintendo, used to monitor which users use emulators.

Do you have other suggestions for promising successor forks?

I have been told about GreemDev which is a fork of Ryujinx and still being in development. But I honestly, don't know much about it (have not been keeping myself up to date with it).

Though so far both the original Yuzu and Ryujinx are still working pretty great. Some small issues happens like crashes with Mario & Luigi brothership but people found work-arounds for that on Ryujinx; changing CPU to ''software'' for Mario & Luigi brothership (which hits the FPS a bit but overall stability and no crashes) and then set it back to its default for other games.

which now are in the hands of Nintendo, used to monitor which users use emulators.

No clue about Nintendo using its data to monitor users who use(d) emulators. They rather go after the developers of emulators (I think) unless someone is stupid enough to stream pirated games, tell viewers how to get them illegally and provoke Nintendo like this guy; Jesse Keighin, aka Every Game Guru.

Should I take this to mean Suyu hasn't been and isn't going to actually have updates and continued development? Basically making it the same as the version of Yuzu I still have installed on my PC (which was the last official update before the takedown)?

Should I take this to mean Suyu hasn’t been and isn’t going to actually have updates and continued development?

Yeah, see it like that. If it ever will actually get updated, you will hear about it due to all the drama they will be causing. But ever since Yuzu went down and they took the source code, nothing major has been done and only drama been caused.

Basically making it the same as the version of Yuzu I still have installed on my PC (which was the last official update before the takedown)?

Yeah, exactly.

Yes, that's how it is. If you look at the commit history of yuzu, there's basically only documentation changes. [1]

The joke about the Hydra many heads is just not true for software projects where only actually capable developers are able to meaningfully contribute. And those most likely already have a well paying job. Getting sued by Nintendo isn't on anyones bucket list.
