: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. Also offers early access pre-compiled builds to its $5/month [[Emulators on Patreon|Patreon]] supporters, these builds allow supporters to try out new features before they're released in the main version. However, if you have experience building and compiling, you can build your own version. Alternatively, some users create and share unofficial early access builds. 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 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. '''It's very unfortunate that official distrubition will cease due to The [[History_of_emulation#Lawsuits|recent lawsuit casefiled by Nintendo]]'''against the Yuzu emulator has led to the unfortunate decision to cease official distribution of Yuzu.
