::An open-source [[High/Low_level_emulation|HLE approach]] emulator made by many of [[Citra]]'s developers. As it was a hard fork of Citra, it shared many of its traits, namely cross-platform support and the use of OpenGL and Vulkan. Yuzu offered early access pre-compiled builds to its $5/month [[Emulators on Patreon|Patreon]] supporters, allowing them to try out new features before they're available in the main build. Because of this, many people assumed the emulator was strictly closed and paywalled, however, the source code for many of these new features was always publicly available and could even be compiled by anyone. Because of this, some users went as far as to publicly share their own unofficial "early access" builds. One of yuzu's notable features was its decreased shader stuttering compared to Ryujinx, making it ideal for weaker PCs. Yuzu also had both a free and paid version on Android which later saw greater improvements thanks to their implementation of [https://web.archive.org/web/20240227234130/https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu/pull/12074 Native Code Execution (NCE)] and other fixes. Their [https://web.archive.org/web/20240229040019/https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu/pull/12579 Device Mapping & SMMU] implementation also further helped reduce yuzu's memory footprint and allow possible future optimizations. There were even more optimizations exclusive to the Linux-x86 and Android platforms thanks to "[http://web.archive.org/web/20240111173833/https://yuzu-emu.org/entry/yuzu-progress-report-dec-2023/#android-adventures-and-kernels-with-benefits MADV_REMOVE]", but despite all the optimizations and improvements, only high-end devices are recommended for Android platform. In yuzu's last [https://web.archive.org/web/20240304205731/https://yuzu-emu.org/entry/yuzu-progress-report-jan-2024/ progress report for January 2024], they highlighted ongoing work on "multiprocess" and "services", which is crucial progress towards emulating applets and system functions like some of the [[#Hardware_features_and_peripherals|hardware features]]. Further development would have been required before it could be considered fully implemented.
::On March 4th 2024, a [[Yuzu#Lawsuit|lawsuit was filed by Nintendo]] against Tropic Haze LLC (aka yuzu) which unfortunately led to their decision to cease all development and official distribution of yuzu and Citra. Fortunately, it is easy to find an archive of the latest version, and its work is likely to be continued by other developers. According to suyu developers: The Switch SDK has been used illegally within the previous Yuzu developer team, which effectively makes the whole code radioactive[https://pastebin.com/6FYdz9Sr].

:::A fork of yuzu continues from where that project left off ([https://gitlab.com/suyu-emu/suyu/-/blob/dev/README.md?ref_type=heads based on latest EA-4176]) on GitLab instead of Github suggested by the community due to potential takedown attempt. However, GitLab still took down the suyu repository due to the use of raw yuzu code. As a result, the Suyu team is now using their own repository. This decision, along with various precautions[https://old.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/1bck011/heres_how_the_makers_of_the_suyu_switch_emulator/], suggests a desire to avoid [[Legal_Status_of_Emulation#Nintendo|legal claims similar to those faced by yuzu]]. Currently, the team is recruiting programmers to start studying the code. '''Thus, there's an adaptation period needed to see some serious advancements'''. In response to concerns about the project's financial motivations, the suyu team has emphasized a strict policy against accepting donations. They assure users that there is no intention to profit from the emulator. '''There have been inexperienced coding criticisms from some in the community directed at the current developers' work. :::Messages from Suyu developers about leaving the project: [https://pastebin.com/6FYdz9Sr kksowo'''s message on Paste.bin], [https://www.reddit.com/r/suyu/comments/1c1hs3l/the_death_of_suyu/ The Death of Suyu by u/AMA2581 on r/suyu]. The founder, however, states [https://www.reddit.com/r/suyu/comments/1c1tnh5/founder_speaking_future/ they will still maintain the project] as best they can.
