                <p>yuzu is a work-in-progress Nintendo Switch emulator. The project was started in spring of 2017 by bunnei,
                    one of the original authors of the popular Citra 3DS emulator, to experiment with and research the Nintendo
                    Switch.
                </p>

                <p>Due to the similarities between Switch and 3DS, yuzu was developed as a fork of Citra. This means that it
                    uses the same project architecture, and both emulators benefit from shared improvements. During the early
                    months of development, work was done in private, and progress was slow.</p>

                <p>However, as Switch reverse-engineering and homebrew development became popular, work on yuzu began to take
                    off as well. In January of 2018, the yuzu team was formed out of several Citra developers, and the decision
                    was made to release the project publicly. </p>

                <p>As an emulator, yuzu is in its infancy, and is only currently useful for Switch reverse-engineering and homebrew
                    development. yuzu has been designed with portability in mind, with builds actively maintained for Windows,
                    Linux, and macOs.

                    <li>
                        <span class="is-italic">Can I use yuzu to play Switch games?</span>
                        <span>No – at this time, yuzu does not run any commercial Switch games. yuzu can boot some games, to varying
                            degrees of success, but does not implement any of the necessary GPU features to render 3D graphics.</span>

                        <span class="is-italic">When will yuzu run games?</span>
                        <span>In short – we do not know. Running games is one of the team’s top priorities, so we are actively
                            working toward that goal!</span>

                        <span class="is-italic">What is yuzu’s license?</span>
                        <span>yuzu is an open-source project, licensed under the GPLv2 (or any later version). Refer to the license
                            document for more information.</span>

                    <li>
                        <span class="is-italic">Where does the name come from?</span>
                        <span>Citrus junos, or yuzu (from Japanese ユズ), is a citrus fruit, most commonly used in Asian cuisines.
                            This name was chosen as an homage to Citra and its developers, whose work gave the foundation
                            for this project.</span>
