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>.
