The titles ===History===yuzu reached in-game on several Nintendo Switch exclusives in November 2019,<ref>[https://twitter.com/yuzuemu/status/1195079948635164679 Pokémon Sword and Shield go in-game] (November 14, 2019)</ref> and has been improving in compatibility by the day with active developers ever since. ''The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+'', ''Puyo Puyo Tetris'' , and ''Cave Story+'' formed were the first group of games to boot on this emulator.<ref>{{cite web|title=First games are running!|url=https://yuzu-emu.org/entry/first-games-are-running/|author=JMC47|date=April 15, 2018|accessdate=April 16, 2018}}</ref> On In late [https://t.co/2ctw1wBN3S April 2018], yuzu booted its first Switch exclusive, ''1-2-Switch''. On [https://t.co/8FY1zFoM7X July 2018Three months later], yuzu was able to run its first 3D rendered game, ''Minecraft: Story Mode''. [https://yuzu-emu.org/entry/yuzu-progress-report-2018-p1/ This progress report] from July 2018 details the extensive work required to research the Switch and get yuzu up and running, chronicling the compatibility status of a small bundle of games and apps over time. The post also covers a surprising number of similarities between the hardware and firmware of the [[Nintendo_3DS_emulators|3DS]] and Switch, and why portions of [[Citra]] were reused in yuzu.
Be sure to read this first insightful yuzu started showing some 3D rendering on ''Super Mario Odyssey'' in early August 2018.<ref>[https://twitter.com/yuzuemu/status/1027066281441341440 First 3D Graphics] (August 8, 2018)</ref> This long-awaited exclusive brought a lot of interest in the project. The team covered all the changes that month in [https://yuzu-emu.org/entry/yuzu-progress-report-2018-p1-1p3/ another progress blog report] (July 14, from September 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 In May of 2020, multicore CPU emulation was implemented, improving framerates on ''Super Mario Odyssey'' many titles. This feature appears to cause audio slowdown, so the developers recommend enabling audio stretching in early Augustorder to mitigate it.<ref>[https://twitterwww.youtube.com/yuzuemu/status/1027066281441341440 First 3D Graphics] watch?v=rbNd67vIO78 Yuzu Multicore Released | This Update is INSANELY FAST (August 8May 11, 20182020)]</ref> In July of 2021, yuzu's shader decompiler was rewritten, allowing the generation of pipeline cache for Vulkan users and providing a considerable performance boost. This awaited exclusive game bringed a lot  In October of interest in 2021, resolution scaling was added to the emulator that allowed it to render games up to 6x the projectoriginal resolution or 0. yuzu covered all 5x on the August change in another detailled low end. It also added AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution as a window adaptation filter among others.<ref>[https://yuzu-emu.org/entry/yuzu-progress-report-2018art/ New Feature Release -p3/ progress report] Resolution Scaler (September 11October 24, 20182021). ]</ref>
As of today, yuzu is now in-game in several Nintendo Switch exclusives and keep improving it's compatibility day by day with active developers.
