==Overview==
Be sure to read this first insightful [https://yuzu-emu.org/entry/yuzu-progress-report-2018-p1-1/ progress blog report] (July 14, 2018), which details the background and efforts at the reverse-engineering and emulation work required to get yuzu up and running and a small bundle of games and apps to work better over time. It also covers a significant number of surprising similarities between the hardware and operating systems of the [[Nintendo_3DS_emulators|3DS]] and Switch. Thus, a lot of the code made for the 3DS emulator [[Citra]] was also shared and re-interpreted for yuzu.
yuzu started showing some 3D rendering on ''Super Mario Odyssey'' in early August<ref>[https://twitter.com/yuzuemu/status/1027066281441341440 First 3D Graphics] (August 8, 2018)</ref>. This awaited exclusive game brought a lot of interest in the project. yuzu covered all the August change in another detailed [https://yuzu-emu.org/entry/yuzu-progress-report-2018-p3/ progress report] (September 11, 2018).
As of November 2019, yuzu is now in-game in several Nintendo Switch exclusives<ref>[https://twitter.com/yuzuemu/status/1195079948635164679 Pokémon Sword and Shield go in-game] (November 14, 2019)</ref> and keep improving it's compatibility day by day with active developers.
In May of 2020, multicore CPU emulation was implemented, improving framerates and allowing many games that are locked at 30 FPS on the Switch to be run at 60 FPS on yuzu. This feature appears to cause audio slowdown, so the developers recommend enabling audio stretching in order to mitigate it.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbNd67vIO78 Yuzu Multicore Released | This Update is INSANELY FAST (May 11, 2020)]</ref>
