Changes

:An open-source 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] for in the future. As of August 2022, Vulkan API support is available . One of Ryujinx's notable feature is it's focusing compatibility and boosts performance furtheraccuracy but has more shader stutters compared to yuzu.

:An open-source 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 features feature is its disk-based shader cache for OpenGL, negating the need to compile shaders on the fly on every boot and also generally gives better it's performance (but less stable) 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. Also on Linux x86 and Androidplatforms, [https://yuzu-emu.org/entry/yuzu-progress-report-dec-2023/#android-adventures-and-kernels-with-benefits latest versions of yuzu further optimizes the process through "MADV_REMOVE"], a system call instructing the operating system to "freeing up" specific allocated memory pages, which greatly reduces '''immediate''' memory requirements, and to also significantly decrease boot times, unfortunately the Windows kernel doesn’t have an equivalent to "MADV_REMOVE".
