  Hello yuz-ers and Citra fans:
+
[https://old.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/1b6juv9/yuzu_and_yuzus_support_of_citra_are_being/]
  We write today to inform you that yuzu and yuzu’s support of Citra are being discontinued, effective immediately.
+
 
  yuzu and its team have always been against piracy. We started the projects in good faith,
+
==System requirements==
  out of passion for Nintendo and its consoles and games, and were not intending to cause
 
  harm. But we see now that because our projects can circumvent Nintendo’s technological
 
  protection measures and allow users to play games outside of authorized hardware, they
 
  have led to extensive piracy. In particular, we have been deeply disappointed when users
 
  have used our software to leak game content prior to its release and ruin the experience for
 
  legitimate purchasers and fans.
 
  We have come to the decision that we cannot continue to allow this to occur. Piracy was
 
  never our intention, and we believe that piracy of video games and on video game consoles
 
  should end. Effective today, we will be pulling our code repositories offline, discontinuing
 
  our Patreon accounts and Discord servers, and, soon, shutting down our websites. We hope
 
  our actions will be a small step toward ending piracy of all creators’ works.
 
  Thank you for your years of support and for understanding our decision.[https://old.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/1b6juv9/yuzu_and_yuzus_support_of_citra_are_being/]

Overview

As of March 2022, an estimated half of the Nintendo Switch library can be played from start to finish, like Super Mario Odyssey, which had correct graphics and speed after 1 year of it getting to boot up.

History

yuzu reached in-game on several Nintendo Switch exclusives in November 2019,[1] 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+ were the first games to boot.[2] In late April 2018, yuzu booted its first Switch exclusive, 1-2-Switch. Three months later, yuzu was able to run its first 3D rendered game, Minecraft: Story Mode.

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 3DS and Switch, and why portions of Citra were reused in yuzu.

Yuzu started showing some 3D rendering on Super Mario Odyssey in early August 2018.[3] This long-awaited exclusive brought a lot of interest in the project. The team covered all the changes that month in another progress report from September 2018.

In May 2020, multicore CPU emulation was implemented, improving framerates on many titles. This feature appears to cause audio slow down, so the developers recommend enabling audio stretching in order to mitigate it.[4]

In July 2021, yuzu's shader decompiler was rewritten, allowing the generation of pipeline cache for Vulkan users and providing a considerable performance boost.

In October 2021, resolution scaling was added to the emulator that allowed it to render games up to 6x the original resolution or 0.5x on the low end. It also added AMD FidelityFX™ Super-Resolution as a window adaptation filter among others.[5]

On May 30, 2023, the emulator was ported to Android. This version was in early access, with a free and a paid version available.

Lawsuit

Nintendo sued Yuzu (TROPIC HAZE LLC) on February 26, 2024[6][7], over copyright infringement. On March 4, 2024, Nintendo and Tropic Haze settled out of court, with US$2,400,000.00 in Nintendo's favor, along with an injunction preventing Yuzu's management from continuing development of Yuzu or assisting Citra with development.[8] Distribution of Yuzu and Citra ceased after the lawsuit's conclusion,[9] and a statement was put on the websites of both emulators and the official Discord. Also see Legal Status of Emulation.
