: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. Yuzu offers 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. However, the source code for these new features is publicly available and can be compiled by anyone, with some users publicly sharing their own unofficial early access builds. One of yuzu's notable features is its decreased shader stuttering compared to Ryujinx, making it ideal for weaker PCs. Yuzu also has free and paid Android versions which have greatly improved recently 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 improvements. Recent [https://web.archive.org/web/20240229040019/https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu/pull/12579 Device Mapping & SMMU] implementations further have helped reduce yuzu's memory footprint, allowing future optimizations and more. There are 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. Yuzu's [https://web.archive.org/web/20240304205731/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.
