There's a new Nintendo Switch emulator named suyu, which has been forked off from the original yuzu before Nintendo shut it down. A brave move, let's see if it pays off. 

While yuzu had a Patreon campaign, and was pulling in somewhat big numbers, suyu is non-profit and does not accept donations of any kind. So that may help keep it away from Nintendo lawyers. That, and not having a lead developer jokingly post in a Discord about user piracy would help too. The suyu website is a bit barebones with no documentation, so you're very much on your own with this one for now. 

The first release is out now with the changes in suyu listed below:

  • Full rebrand.
  • ICNS Icon generation.
  • Error handling.
  • Qlaunch initial integration(buggy/requires further testing; requires V17.0.0 firmware or newer).
  • Gitlab ci for automated builds.
  • Require all keys to be user provided, along with firmware.
  • Improved Addons Manager.
  • Various crash fixes.
  • Initial work for MacOS support.
  • Fix for video playback AMD devices.
  • Enabled more features on AMD proprietary drivers.
  • Multiplayer API re-implemented.
  • Removed all telemetry.
  • New UI options/improvements.
  • QOL changes.

Do you think Nintendo will attempt to shut this down too? Considering they haven't (yet) gone after Ryujinx it may not be all that likely. Will have to wait and see.

Go FOSS! If Yuzu wasn't open, this wouldn't have been possible. I suppose that Yuzu's mistakes will be very useful for the emulation scene as a lesson of what to avoid going forward.

I suspect we might see "SoSuMii" pop up when they inevitably go after Dolphin again.

I build one, and it works. But now we also need someone to continue with citra like this. There are no other 3ds emulators at the level of citra (for now).

I have citra's source code if anyone wants it...

If Apple don't sue since they own 'Sosumi,' ironically for same reasons
