:An open-source [[High/Low_level_emulation|hybrid approach]] emulator that's programmed in C#. Unlike yuzu, Ryujinx does not offer packaged early-access builds. However, work-in-progress features can still be tested by building locally from unmerged pull requests. Separately, Ryujinx has a closed source LDN-enabled build and there is a feature tracker for this [https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx/issues/4716 LDN build for upstreaming]. As of August 2022, Vulkan API support is available. One of Ryujinx's notable feature is it's focusing compatibility and accuracy but has more shader stutters compared to yuzu.Also it has an alternative approach (alternative to yuzu's NCE) for emulation on ARM systems for improving performance.[https://blog.ryujinx.org/progress-report-january-2024/]

:An open-source [[High/Low_level_emulation|HLE approach]] emulator made by many of [[Citra]]'s developers. As it's a hard fork of Citra, it shares many of its traits, namely cross-platform support and the use of OpenGL and Vulkan. This emulator currently offers early access builds to $5/month [[Emulators on Patreon|Patreon]] subscribers, which allows said Patreons to utilize new features prior to their eventual release on the mainline build. One of yuzu's notable feature is its performance and has less shader stutters compared to Ryujinx, so it's ideal for weaker PCs. Yuzu also has free and paid Android versions which greatly improved recently thanks to the support for [https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu/pull/12074 Native Code Execution (NCE)] and other improvements. Recent [https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu/pull/12579 Device Mapping & SMMU] implementation further helps reducing memory footprint, allowing future optimizations and more. Also there are even more optimizations exclusive to the Linux-x86 and Android platforms thanks to the "[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. The yuzu's [https://yuzu-emu.org/entry/yuzu-progress-report-jan-2024/ January 2024 progress report] highlights ongoing work on "multiprocess" and "services". This progress is crucial for emulating [[High/Low_level_emulation|LLE]] applets and enabling emulating system functions like the [[#Hardware_features_and_peripherals|QLaunch HOME Menu]], but further development is required before these features are fully implemented.
