Info
Yuzu is an experimental open-source emulator for the Nintendo Switch from the creators of Citra, compatible with Android OS devices.
It is written in Java with portability in mind, with builds actively maintained for Android smartphone.
Highlights
Yuzu emulator is capable of running most commercial games at full speed, provided you meet the necessary hardware requirements.
This project is made by the developers of the Nintendo 3DS emulator Citra, with significant code shared between the projects; originally, this emulator only supported test programs and homebrew.
The emulator is still in the early stages of development; over time, new updates will gradually increase performance.
The application currently requires an OpenGL 4.6 capable GPU and a CPU that has high single-core performance.
It also requires a minimum of 6 GB of RAM; for more details, see the minimum system requirements written on the table below.
If your game is slow, you may need to get a better smartphone or wait for emulator optimizations; also ensure that you have not mistakenly enabled opengl logging or debug logging in Options > Settings > Logging tab, make sure those are disabled.
Since the Nintendo Switch is a complicated device controller input wise, you will need to change some input settings depending on the game you wish to play, on advanced settings menu.
Yuzu emulator project is licensed under the GPLv3 (or any later version).
