                    yuzu is a work-in-progress Nintendo Switch emulator. yuzu is an open-source project, licensed under the GPLv2 (or any later
                    version). yuzu has been designed with portability in mind, with builds available for Windows, Linux,
                    and macOS.

                <p>
                    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. Due to the similarities between Switch and 3DS, yuzu was developed
                    as a fork of Citra.
                </p>

                <p>
                    This means that it uses the same project architecture, and both emulators benefit from shared improvements.
                </p>

                <p>
                    During the early months of development, work was done in private, and progress was slow. However, as Switch reverse-engineering
                    and homebrew development became popular, work on yuzu began to take off as well.
                </p>

                <p>
                    In January of 2018, the yuzu team was formed out of several Citra developers, and the decision was made to release the project
                    publicly. As an emulator, yuzu is in its infancy, and is only currently useful for Switch reverse-engineering
                    and homebrew development.

                                    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.

                                    In short – we do not know how soon games might run. While yuzu is making great progress, Switch emulation is very complex.
                                    Running games is one of the team’s top priorities, so we are actively working toward
                                    that goal!

                                    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.
