;Eden: Newest fork in the scene, '''Eden''', with people that previously worked on Citron. Most of the new features provided by Eden are exclusive to Android for the moment.

;Citron: A fork of yuzu, known as '''uzuy''' until October 2024. After a line of Nightly releases dating from November 2024 and a failed server migration that took the site down [https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fhas-citron-been-taken-down-v0-uxtrqvqkt19e1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D1179%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D0d7ea6999148d1ca858d9f6fc05695fe20dcc3c2], Citron reappeared with a newer Canary pre-launch version on January 2025. Since the partial suspension of Sudachi development and the recent inactivity of torzu, this emulator was one the most active yuzu fork to date.

;Sudachi: Initially conceived by Jarrod Norwell as an experimental port of yuzu to iOS/iPadOS, the project was rebased on Yuzu's EA-4176 build following the yuzu takedown. Subsequently, the project evolved to include further improvement of the project and distributions for Linux and macOS. While it was once available on separate repositories for Windows and Android, DMCA takedowns led to the closure of both repositories and the associated Discord server[https://old.reddit.com/r/EmulationOniOS/comments/1db1qwl/sudachi_has_been_takedown/][https://x.com/antique_codes/status/1809288541064819064] (see "2024 - Yuzu (Switch) vs. Nintendo" section of the [[Legal Status of Emulation]] page). The project is now distributed through its own hosting platform. Requires a paid Apple Developer Account or TrollStore to use the <code>com.apple.developer.kernel.increased-memory-limit</code> entitlement. In version 1.0.15, the gyroscope is not recognized, and all non-English languages are removed; therefore, it is recommended to use the previous version until these issues are resolved.

;Suyu: A fork of yuzu from where that project left off ([https://git.suyu.dev/suyu/suyu based on the latest EA-4176]). Unlike its parent project, the Switch firmware is required (like older versions of yuzu) as well a title.keys file for eshop/nsp games, updates and DLCs (on yuzu, they were auto generated if missing). The repository was originally hosted on GitLab, but it was forced to move after GitLab took it down, citing the use of the raw yuzu code. It is hosted on a self-managed instance of Forgejo. 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]]. Later, the team tried to recruit programmers to start to study the code. Thus, there is an adaptation period needed to see some serious advancements, and in the meantime, in response to concerns about the project's financial motivations, the suyu team emphasized a strict policy against accepting donations; they assure users that there is no intention to profit from the emulator. But there have been inexperienced coding criticisms from some in the community directed at the developers' work. Their discord server was shut down (see "2024 - Yuzu (Switch) vs. Nintendo" section of the [[Legal Status of Emulation]] page)

;torzu: A fork of yuzu. To prevent take-downs, the Git is preliminarily hosted using the Tor network, needing the Tor browser to access. Currently, it has a mirror on NotaBug, but this may be taken down without notice. torzu still aims to remain "compilable on Linux and Windows" and serve as a "good base to fork" in the future. torzu doesn't publish official releases or offer official support.
