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.

Switchroot is android 10, not 11. You couldn't even run it for the lulz, unless you compile android 11 yourself from their source code.

yea haha i know, there are guide to do that but im definatly not going to go though all that trouble xD

I tried running Octopath 2 and I get a you (blank) file is encrypted. Anyone know how to solve this? It runs great on Yuzu on my PC

 

[KOLAMITE]

You guys think I'll be able to run it on my outdated free android?

 

[TomSwitch]

[EduAAA]

Isn't there LineageOS 18.1 for the Switch?

Imagine a "current gen" console being emulated by a smartphone. Even if it only ever hit 10 FPS that'd be embarrassing enough, but give it a few years and it'll probably run full speed.

Yuzu on Switch is going at have this kick ass feature that all this effort is going to be worth it.

It will check that you actually own the game

I’ll get an affordable android if this ends up running well, it’s always good to have an another switch. Just need to consider screen size.

I tried it in my xiaomi 11 (snapdragon 888) and the performance is worst than skyline but waaay more compatible.

I tested the turnip mesa drivers but yuzu crash when I use it (it have an option to install drivers like skyline), updated adreno drivers works though.

Now i can emulate my switch on my switch

 

[urbanman2004]

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

W/ the Shield's weak processor, the app probably wont even start. Tell me how I know? Lmao...
I own a Shield and it can barely run Dolphin so I bought a SBC w/ a RK3588 in it and it can run Dolphin from Android on my TV now...

Bro had the joke fly over his head

So it's running on ARM processor now? I think the Mac version will be out soon then.

 

[17hitcombooo]

nintendo having an existential crisis rn

 

[The Catboy]

Nice~ you love to see it
I hope they make a Mac/Apple silicon port soon

 

[ZeroT21]

This is what happens when you emulate a outdated console which made out of old tech ,now you get potato phones running it. Not to mention losing to a paperclip before

 

[ChaoticPumpkin]

Oh boy, here comes a massive wave of children spamming the developers because they can’t get their games to work.

I think this is a great development, but I have seen before what the consequences can be lol.

Is it gone or is it just me?
Both versions on the google play store dont show up.
