The Yuzu development team has just released their Nintendo Switch emulator for a new platform. Today, Yuzu has been ported to Android, bringing yet another Nintendo Switch emulator to mobile devices. This release follows nearly a month after Skyline ended its development. Yuzu for Android's initial release lacks parity with the desktop version, and it currently does not have LDN multiplayer and other features, as the team wants to focus on optimization first and foremost.

You need Android 11 and some Vulkan extensions in order to run Yuzu. You can grab the emulator from the Google Play Store if you want to try it out. A full blog post on the official Yuzu site also details the development process of the port.

A Big step for emulation...
Nintendont.

I only learned recently about this
But apparentlt, Sega used this expression in one of their own ad. "Because Sega does what Nintendon't"
It was an ad for one of their first console.
And back then, Nintendo was much more appreciated by the public than it is today.
So I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Sega was behind the "Nintendont" expression all this time

Can't wait to load up some games!

Recommended devices are basically what's coming out this year, snapdragon 8 gen 2 but they're also waiting for better drivers for them. So hopefully it all works out.

Can it be run on the Switch running android, though?

But the real question is. Can it run Newer Super Mario Bros DS on Yuzu that is running DeSmuME on Android on the Switch?

They need to do it right this time...
I'm not saying it because I want them to shut down emulators, it's just that them sending a dmca to steam to take down dolphin from their store was kinda dumb imo
Dolphin is used by pirates according to them. Pirates are using illegal copies of their games and all. So, what would prevent the pirates from getting dolphin elsewhere on the internet?

I swear, if they are sending the DMCA to google so they take it off their store, they just deserved to be laughed at

Valve reached out to Nintendo. And Yuzu contains no Nintendo code or keys, there's nothing Ninty can do about it unless Google gives in to their voluntary request.

The purpose of Nintendo seems to create games to be emulated on other hardwares

Can’t wait to try it on L4T android on my hacked switch

Yuzu being approved on the Play Store but not Dolphin on Steam?

You have to provide your own keys to use Yuzu.

Dolphin included the Wii Common Key (property of Nintendo) which is why Dolphin was denied from Steam.

Hooray! Yay! I can't wait for do more test on Yuzu emulator for any future mobile phone and tablet with Nvidia GPU in year 2024 and after.

Everyone are require to play this Yuzu on any mobile / tablet with Nvidia GPU together that would speed up Yuzu much faster than all other mobile and tablet without Nvidia GPU.

Everyone need to stop looking at Snapdragon processors in their high end phone and tablet. They are so high prices that rip off people money and still not stronger enough!

If anyone have Nvidia Shield TV because this don't have enough faster CPU & GPU clock, 3 GB RAM and slower speed will not work with Yuzu emulator due to outdated. Everyone have to buy MediaTek with Nvidia devices would work much faster than Nvidia Shield TV and other devices.

Time to focus on MediaTek processors with Nvidia GPU are best and more afford than lousy Snapdragon processors. Bang for cheap prices can't be beat! We need Nvidia GPU right now! LOL

I can't wait to buy any mobile / tablet with MediaTek and Nvidia GPU in year 2024 or after.



MediaTek with Nvidia GPU will able to running Yuzu emulator solid between 30 FPS - 60 FPS with Vulkan.

Just loaded it on my S22 Ultra and it runs ToTK at like 5 fps. I bet other games are decent... but don't expect too much.

I'm still on an S21 Ultra, and I'm not even gonna attempt it.

Nintendo must be feeling the heat not to have their next console almost hacked immediately and then emulated on PC/Android.

Figures.

It probably requires a high-end Android device. I've got an A53 and it can't run GCN games smoothly, but I'm happy it plays DC buttery smooth (kind of prefer it, tbh).

What emu do you recommend for GC? Or DC

 

[CoolMe]

What emu do you recommend for GC? Or DC

Dolphin for GC. Not sure about DC..

 

[mario-lucis-caelum]

Tried it on my Snapdragon 865 phone and I'm surprised it's working well. I only tried a 2D game though specifically Final Fantasy II Pixel Remaster. I also have a tablet that has a Snapdragon 860 and the difference between it and the 865 are massive. The 860 stutters and lags like crazy.

 

[Bladexdsl]

Yeah, I hope this will work on my Nvidia Shield TV.

since the dolphin emu can't run games at 1080p (even on the pro which i have) unless you put up with 15 fps and lower i would say don't get your hopes up.

 

[smf]

Nintendo lost. They just need to accept it.

No, you never accept defeat. It would probably be cheaper to hire a hit man.

And Yuzu contains no Nintendo code or keys, there's nothing Ninty can do about it unless Google gives in to their voluntary request.

Yuzu violates DMCA though. There is no exemption, just because you wanna.

What a time to be alive.

No, it doesn't. Violating DMCA would mean it contains Nintendo code or keys, and Yuzu does not contain either. Users have to supply their own ROMs and NAND. You're thinking of Dolphin, which is coincidentally still available on Google Play right now.
