As means to pave the way for getting rid of global state within core, This eliminates kernel global state by removing all globals. Instead this introduces a KernelCore class which acts as a kernel instance. This instance lives in the System class, which keeps its lifetime contained to the lifetime of the System class. This also forces the kernel types to actually interact with the main kernel instance itself instead of having transient kernel state placed all over several translation units, keeping everything together. It also has a nice consequence of making dependencies much more explicit. This also makes our initialization a tad bit more correct. Previously we were creating a kernel process before the actual kernel was initialized, which doesn't really make much sense. The KernelCore class itself follows the PImpl idiom, which allows keeping all the implementation details sealed away from everything else, which forces the use of the exposed API and allows us to avoid any unnecessary inclusions within the main kernel header. |

yuzu emulator
yuzu is an experimental open-source emulator for the Nintendo Switch from the creators of Citra.
It is written in C++ with portability in mind, with builds actively maintained for Windows, Linux and macOS. The emulator is currently only useful for homebrew development and research purposes.
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 any commercial games without major problems. yuzu can boot some games, to varying degrees of success, but does not implement any of the necessary GPU features to render 3D graphics.
yuzu is licensed under the GPLv2 (or any later version). Refer to the license.txt file included.
Check out our website!
For development discussion, please join us on Discord.
Development
Most of the development happens on GitHub. It's also where our central repository is hosted.
If you want to contribute please take a look at the Contributor's Guide and Developer Information. You should as well contact any of the developers on Discord in order to know about the current state of the emulator.
Building
- Windows: Windows Build
- Linux: Linux Build
- macOS: macOS Build
Support
We happily accept monetary donations or donated games and hardware. Please see our donations page for more information on how you can contribute to yuzu. Any donations received will go towards things like:
- Switch consoles to explore and reverse-engineer the hardware
- Switch games for testing, reverse-engineering, and implementing new features
- Web hosting and infrastructure setup
- Software licenses (e.g. Visual Studio, IDA Pro, etc.)
- Additional hardware (e.g. GPUs as-needed to improve rendering support, other peripherals to add support for, etc.)
We also more than gladly accept used Switch consoles, preferably ones with firmware 3.0.0 or lower! If you would like to give yours away, don't hesitate to join our Discord and talk to bunnei. You may also contact: donations@yuzu-emu.org.
