  • 4-Player Couch Co-op & Switch Version coming August 17th
    I knew there was at least one Switch emulator for Android because it made headlines recently, but a few seconds on Google gave me 3 separate emulators for Android : Yuzu, Egg NS and Skyline. Source: 10 months ago
  • Tears Of The Kingdom Yuzu Setup Guide (60+ FPS UP TO DATE)
    Latest available Early Access Yuzu Build from Pineapple Github (Recommended) or Main Official Yuzu Site. Source: 11 months ago
  • File extensions. NSP or NCA
    You're better off getting the official yuzu mainline from yuzu's site (yuzu-emu.org) and then getting the xci from your other source, and then the update from that same source. Also, check the first link in the automod post for a beginner's guide. Source: 11 months ago
  • Is is safe?
    Yeah, legit. It's been in development for many years and it's making steady progress. It does have problems sometimes though, because that's just how things are with emulators. Try it out and see what works for you, just make sure to grab it from the official website yuzu-emu.org. Source: 11 months ago
  • Is is safe?
    Make sure you always get your files from the official source: yuzu-emu.org. Source: 11 months ago
  • my anti virus keeps blocking my yuzu
    If you got yuzu from the official source (https://yuzu-emu.org/) , then this is a false positive. Source: 11 months ago
  • Ethical to emulate Zelda games on my PC even though I paid $70 for it on Switch?
    I’m not sorry to tell you this, but they’re dominating their competition without 4K and 60 FPS. But if you’re dead set on emulating it, use Yuzu. They get around Nintendo’s lawyers by encouraging their users to buy the games. https://yuzu-emu.org/. Source: 11 months ago
  • TLOZ TOK update
    Did you even bother searching anything about Yuzu? I did and found the project's official website (the FAQs cover DLCs). There's also the r/yuzu subreddit that would've been a more appropriate place to ask (although they probably would say what I just did). Source: 11 months ago
  • I woke up this morning and got the following.
    Grab Yuzu from https://yuzu-emu.org/ and avoid scetchy bs. Source: 11 months ago
  • Legend of Zelda game sells 10M copies in three days
    And there is an immense interest in running it in Yuzu[1][2]. You can see how many issues[3] were reported in last few days. [1] https://yuzu-emu.org/ [2] https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
  • How to make TOTK work after getting the files
    As long as you installed yuzu from the yuzu-emu.org (the official site), added in the prod.keys file right, added in the firmware right, and then put the game's xci in the folder you designate for yuzu's games folder, it should show up and be able to be launched. Source: 12 months ago
  • Yes this is a Yuzu sub but just as a psa, if you’re having struggles getting it working on yuzu, at least give ryujinx a try it’s just easier to reach consistent fps.
    I’d suggest trying to mainline build now that the patches are live. Download from https://yuzu-emu.org. Source: 12 months ago
  • It's beginning 🤦🏼‍♂️
    Https://yuzu-emu.org/ if it exist we can emulate it. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Replaying TP before TOTK comes out... WHY CAN I HOLD THE PUPPY IN THIS GAME BUT CANT PET DOGS IN BOTW?!?!?!?
    If you have the Twilight Princess HD version for the Switch, use either Yuzu, or:. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Could emulators be the solution to running epic games' fortnite natively on linux?
    I think switch emulators like Yuzu or Ryujinx have a lot of potential. As far as I know, there is no way for apps to detect these emulators. And why would they? As far as they know, switch is a secure platform, and cheating via switch is probably not even on their radar. But Fortnite is freely available on the eShop and could be ripped to an emulation of a switch. Yuzu supports keyboard bindings, and mouse plus... Source: about 1 year ago
  • Anyone knows why my yuzu has white screne but u can press buttons and hear there sound its pokemon shield
    Possibly. Try updating it. If this is a windows version, it looks like it could be REALLY old. yuzu-emu.org snag the new version there (it gets updated somewhat frequently with fixes and features). Source: about 1 year ago
  • The version 1338, which seems to be the latest version can't load the games which version 942 can, why?
    De install YuZu do a virus scan (Malwarebytes is free) download the official YuZu from their website Https://yuzu-emu.org/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Hi everyone, Assalam Alaikum, is there any possible way to track my stolen Nintendo Switch in Pakistan, someone stole it today from me.
    Unfortunate things happens. At this moment I can suggest you that if have PC/Laptop then used Nintendo switch emulator like Yuzu to play Nintendo switch games. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Persona 5 help please
    Persona 5 Royal has not been cracked yet (because of Denuvo), so you can't pirate the PC version of it. You can, however, play the Switch version on an emulator like Yuzu or Ryujinx. I'd recommend Ziperto for the rom. Source: over 1 year ago
  • I wanna emulate nintendo switch
    Yuzu is probably the most popular and well supported switch emulator. All you do is go here download and run through the setup. If you get confused watch this. Source: over 1 year ago
  • My iGPU memory clock seems weird. Is it right? Is there a way to fix it?
    Is it normal? I feel it's too slow, and it hurts me in some emulators, which are bandwidth intensive. To prove that, I can play a game on Ryujinx or Yuzu, and from 1.2GHz to 2.2GHz on my shader clock, using ryzenadj to set these values, there aren't any increase in fps. My CPU isn't the issue, since it maxes out at like 10% on a few cores only. You can see as well that there isn't much difference in the graphics... Source: over 1 year ago

Best emulators for Android in 2023
With Skyline now out of the picture, as the developer team behind it is finished with the project, Yuzu has come in right on time to continue providing users a way to play Switch games on their Android phones. It's in its first iteration, and therefore, your mileage will very much vary, but it's a great first step and bodes well for the future. We noticed a number of graphical glitches that made it unplayable on...
