Supporting the core yuzu developers so they can work as much as possible on yuzu and buy any hardware required for development and testing.

We'd like to do what we can to deliver the best possible experience for emulating Switch games, and for that we need your support! We've made great progress getting several popular games showing graphics, but there is still tons of work to be done! Most games run slow, with graphical glitches, poor audio, or do not get past the intro logos. yuzu has been designed with portability in mind, with builds available for Windows, Linux, and macOS. Yuzu is a work-in-progress Nintendo Switch emulator capable of running several commercial games! yuzu is an open-source project, licensed under the GPLv2 (or any later version). Those interested in supporting Yuzu can do so by donating via Patreon.

It could be because the Nintendo Switch uses a well-known architecture, the NVIDIA Tegra X1, that's much simpler to reverse-engineer compared to the one used for the WiiU.

You can read more about Yuzu on their Official site.This is much faster than the Nintendo WiiU emulator, Cemu, which originally released in 2015 but only last year got to a point where it runs several games ( chiefly The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild) almost perfectly. We’re very excited to see more and more games announced for the Nintendo Switch on a daily basis and this Nintendo Direct was packed with so many indie titles that it’s going to be hard putting down the console given how many titles are coming in the upcoming months. Make sure to read about the new update for Dragon Quest X as well. It won’t be long when we can even play Super Mario Odyssey, Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, ARMS and all the other Nintendo Switch exclusive titles on PC.

Though obviously, you can see from the video how they are prioritizing performance over visuals as everything appears to be in a different color contrast but in the case of One Piece, even the visuals are up to the mark and the game is totally playable. What’s most surprising is, that Super Mario Odyssey was running at 5-10fps 8 days ago, and only 4 days ago, it was struggling to keep up at 20-24fps, now the game after the recent update is able to pull off 50-60fps, the speed at which this emulation is progressing is insane and we’re excited to see how soon the entire game will be playable and if more Nintendo Switch titles can be emulated.
