HN comment order"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 case anyone thought it was a full-blown emulator
I would love to see a Switch emulator for the M1, although I certainly understand why it'd be a last-priority for emulator developers. I know /nothing/ about emulator development, but I wonder what the performance of a Switch emulator written for the M1 using Metal for graphics would look like. I'd expect the Switch and the M1 both being ARM would be an advantage? Would be curious to learn more if anyone in this space wants to weigh in.
> yuzu only emulates a subset of Switch hardware and therefore is generally only useful for running/debugging homebrew applications. At this time, yuzu cannot play a majority of commercial games without major problems. yuzu can boot some commercial Switch games to varying degrees of success, but your experience may vary between games and for different combinations of host hardware. still impressive, just thought you might want to quickly find the current state
