;Emulators

::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.
