'''yuzu''' is a discontinued open-source [[Nintendo Switch emulators|Nintendo Switch]] emulator/debugger written in C++.

As of 2024, Yuzu was the most popular Nintendo Switch emulator, being easier to set up than its main competitor, [[Ryujinx]].

===Overview===
As of March 2022, an estimated half of the Nintendo Switch library can be played from start to finish, like Super Mario Odyssey, which had correct graphics and speed after 1 year of it getting to boot up.

===History===
yuzu reached in-game on several Nintendo Switch exclusives in November 2019,<ref>[https://twitter.com/yuzuemu/status/1195079948635164679 Pokémon Sword and Shield go in-game] (November 14, 2019)</ref> and has been improving in compatibility by the day with active developers ever since.

''The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+'', ''Puyo Puyo Tetris'', and ''Cave Story+'' were the first games to boot.<ref>{{cite web|title=First games are running!|url=https://yuzu-emu.org/entry/first-games-are-running/|author=JMC47|date=April 15, 2018|accessdate=April 16, 2018}}</ref> In late [https://t.co/2ctw1wBN3S April 2018], yuzu booted its first Switch exclusive, ''1-2-Switch''. [https://t.co/8FY1zFoM7X Three months later], yuzu was able to run its first 3D rendered game, ''Minecraft: Story Mode''.

[https://yuzu-emu.org/entry/yuzu-progress-report-2018-p1/ This progress report] from July 2018 details the extensive work required to research the Switch and get yuzu up and running, chronicling the compatibility status of a small bundle of games and apps over time. The post also covers a surprising number of similarities between the hardware and firmware of the [[Nintendo_3DS_emulators|3DS]] and Switch, and why portions of [[Citra]] were reused in yuzu.

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

In May 2020, multicore CPU emulation was implemented, improving framerates on many titles. This feature appears to cause audio slow down, 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 2021, yuzu's shader decompiler was rewritten, allowing the generation of pipeline cache for Vulkan users and providing a considerable performance boost.

In October 2021, resolution scaling was added to the emulator that allowed it to render games up to 6x the original resolution or 0.5x on the low end. It also added AMD FidelityFX™ Super-Resolution as a window adaptation filter among others.<ref>[https://yuzu-emu.org/entry/yuzu-art/ New Feature Release - Resolution Scaler (October 24, 2021)]</ref>

On May 30, 2023, the emulator was ported to Android. This version is in early access, a free and a paid version are available.

====Lawsuit====
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo Nintendo] sued Yuzu (TROPIC HAZE LLC) on February 26, 2024<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20240304182910/https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68284505/nintendo-of-america-inc-v-tropic-haze-llc/ Nintendo of America Inc. v.

On March 4, 2024, Nintendo and Tropic Haze settled out of court, with US$2,400,000.00 in Nintendo's favor, along with an injunction preventing Yuzu's management from continuing development of Yuzu or assisting Citra with development.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20240304174726if_/https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.rid.56980/gov.uscourts.rid.56980.10.0.pdf Case 1:24-cv-00082-JJM-LDA Document 10 (Mars 04, 2024)]</ref> Distribution of Yuzu and Citra ceased after the lawsuit's conclusion.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20240304175212/https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.rid.56980/gov.uscourts.rid.56980.10.1.pdf Case 1:24-cv-00082-JJM-LDA Document 10-1 (Mars 04, 2024)]</ref>.

  Hello yuz-ers and Citra fans:
  We write today to inform you that yuzu and yuzu’s support of Citra are being discontinued, effective immediately.
  yuzu and its team have always been against piracy. We started the projects in good faith,
  out of passion for Nintendo and its consoles and games, and were not intending to cause
  harm. But we see now that because our projects can circumvent Nintendo’s technological
  protection measures and allow users to play games outside of authorized hardware, they
  have led to extensive piracy. In particular, we have been deeply disappointed when users
  have used our software to leak game content prior to its release and ruin the experience for
  legitimate purchasers and fans.
  We have come to the decision that we cannot continue to allow this to occur. Piracy was
  never our intention, and we believe that piracy of video games and on video game consoles
  should end. Effective today, we will be pulling our code repositories offline, discontinuing
  our Patreon accounts and Discord servers, and, soon, shutting down our websites. We hope
  our actions will be a small step toward ending piracy of all creators’ works.
  Thank you for your years of support and for understanding our decision.[https://old.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/1b6juv9/yuzu_and_yuzus_support_of_citra_are_being/]

'''suyu''' is a fork of [[yuzu]] that is the continuation of the original project.<br> The only changes as of March 2024 is that firmware is required (like older versions of yuzu), as well title.keys file for games and DLCs (on yuzu they were auto generated if missing) and rebranding.
