;[[Strato]] <small class="plainlinks" style="font-weight:normal;">([https://github.com/strato-emu/compat-list/issues compatibility])</small>
:A fork of Skyline that continues from where that project left off. It's an open-source [[Compatibility layers|compatibility layer]] for ARMv8 [[Android]] devices. For the sake of convenience, the team bills the app as an emulator, but it functionally works like [[Wine]], running almost all of the original code on bare metal except for what interfaces with the rest of the system. Some titles can go ingame with poor framerate and minor glitches, but the Skyline team has done great work making 3D games, such as ''The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild'', have graphical output, boosting FPS in many titles, and fixing bugs in games.

;[[Ryujinx]] <small class="plainlinks" style="font-weight:normal;">([https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx-Games-List/issues compatibility])</small>
:An open-source emulator that's programmed in C#. It supports resolution upscaling to 4K and beyond; custom upscaling/downscaling ratios are also supported. 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, but there is a feature tracker for [https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx/issues/4716 LDN upstreaming] for future. As of August 2022, Vulkan API support is available and boosts performance further.
;[[yuzu]] <small class="plainlinks" style="font-weight:normal;">([https://yuzu-emu.org/game compatibility])</small>
: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 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 performance (but less stable) and has less shader stutters compared to Ryujinx, so it's ideal for weaker PCs. Resolution scaler support was added in October 2021. 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.

:The predecessor to the Strato project. Development of Skyline ceased in May 2023.

;[[Egg NS]]
:Similar to DamonPS2, it's a closed-source, payware/malware emulator only for Android. '''It is NOT recommended to use this emulator'''. Claimed the first spot in getting games running on Android. 81 titles are purported to work, and the rest are either not working or assumed to fail. There because there is significant controversy surrounding this emulator for the following reasons: touch controls require an expensive monthly membership to use, it expects to run on a high-end/flagship device within the ballpark of a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8xx and 8 Gen 1, and it was discovered to have violated GPLv2 licensing requirements by illegally stealing code from yuzu and Skyline. Happy Chick is also a code-stolen emulator by this company. Its icon is edited from Happy Chick with Adobe Photoshop. Its real headquarter location is in mainland China.
