Since the Nintendo Switch was hacked early in its launch, there has been a lot of interest for emulators due to the Switch's portability. These emulators will only work on Switches with CFW on them, i.e. Switch consoles susceptible to the Tegra hardware exploit. For more information and guides on how to homebrew your Switch, or if you even can, visit [https://www.reddit.com/r/SwitchHacks r/SwitchHacks].

Be sure to read this first insightful [https://yuzu-emu.org/entry/yuzu-progress-report-2018-p1/ progress blog report] (July 14, 2018), which details the background and efforts at the reverse-engineering and emulation work required to get yuzu up and running and a small bundle of games and apps to work better over time. It also covers a significant number of surprising similarities between the hardware and operating systems of the [[Nintendo_3DS_emulators|3DS]] and Switch. Thus, a lot of the code made for the 3DS emulator [[Citra]] was also shared and re-interpreted for yuzu.

yuzu started showing some 3D rendering on ''Super Mario Odyssey'' in early August<ref>[https://twitter.com/yuzuemu/status/1027066281441341440 First 3D Graphics] (August 8, 2018)</ref>. This awaited exclusive game brought a lot of interest in the project. yuzu covered all the August change in another detailed [https://yuzu-emu.org/entry/yuzu-progress-report-2018-p3/ progress report] (September 11, 2018).

As of November 2019, yuzu is now in-game in several Nintendo Switch exclusives<ref>[https://twitter.com/yuzuemu/status/1195079948635164679 Pokémon Sword and Shield go in-game] (November 14, 2019)</ref> and keep improving it's compatibility day by day with active developers.

In May of 2020, multicore CPU emulation was implemented, improving framerates on many titles. This feature appears to cause audio slowdown, so the developers recommend enabling audio stretching in order to mitigate it.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbNd67vIO78 Yuzu Multicore Released | This Update is INSANELY FAST (May 11, 2020)]</ref>

In July of 2021, yuzu's shader decompiler was rewritten, allowing the generation of pipeline cache for Vulkan users and providing a considerable performance boost.

Not technically an "emulator", it allows your Switch to function as an Android tablet. It's based off the Nvidia Shield TV build of LineageOS, since they both use the same system-on-chip, and runs Android 8.1 Oreo.  Its most notable feature is the ability to work both in handheld and docked mode and using the Joycons as a Bluetooth controller (though not all apps may detect them correctly).

like LineageOS, this is not technically an "emulator". Instead, it runs a version of Ubuntu on the switch.With these, it is possible to run a lot of emulators on these systems. [[Play!]] has [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOpxuZsx_C8 had some success] with playing PS2 games on L4T Ubuntu, albeit at around 10 FPS. On Android, some notable emulators are [[DraStic]], [[Dolphin]], and [[Citra]].

Overview

The titles The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+, Puyo Puyo Tetris and Cave Story+ formed the first group of games to boot on this emulator.[1] On late April 2018, yuzu booted its first Switch exclusive, 1-2-Switch. On July 2018, yuzu was able to run its first 3D rendered game, Minecraft: Story Mode.

Be sure to read this first insightful progress blog report (July 14, 2018), which details the background and efforts at the reverse-engineering and emulation work required to get yuzu up and running and a small bundle of games and apps to work better over time. It also covers a significant number of surprising similarities between the hardware and operating systems of the 3DS and Switch. Thus, a lot of the code made for the 3DS emulator Citra was also shared and re-interpreted for yuzu.

yuzu started showing some 3D rendering on Super Mario Odyssey in early August[2]. This awaited exclusive game brought a lot of interest in the project. yuzu covered all the August change in another detailed progress report (September 11, 2018).

As of November 2019, yuzu is now in-game in several Nintendo Switch exclusives[3] and keep improving it's compatibility day by day with active developers.

In May of 2020, multicore CPU emulation was implemented, improving framerates on many titles. This feature appears to cause audio slowdown, so the developers recommend enabling audio stretching in order to mitigate it.[4]

In July of 2021, yuzu's shader decompiler was rewritten, allowing the generation of pipeline cache for Vulkan users and providing a considerable performance boost.
