yuzu is an experimental open-source emulator for the Nintendo Switch from the creators of Citra.
It is written in C++ with portability in mind, with builds actively* maintained for Windows and Linux. The emulator is capable of running several commercial games.
yuzu only emulates a subset of Switch hardware and therefore most commercial games do not run at full speed or are not fully functional.
