So I'm a little behind on the switch emulation but I think I've read that skyline had to cease and desist? But now strangely enough there is another switch emulator that's actually on play store called yuzu?
I'm just wondering if it's worth not only downloading yuzu, but trying to make room on my phone to even be able to play one game?
Keep in mind I have a very low end phone, but I can comfortably play 3DS PSP and PS2 by tweaking the settings a bit

Is Yuzu legal to use?
What platforms does Yuzu support?
Where do I get the Nintendo Switch keys and firmware required for Yuzu?
Yuzu got released for Android, which is always good for the Android emulation scene and switch emulation on android. Surprisingly, for how early this emulator is, there are already some games that are better on Yuzu than on skyline. But before we go over the games I tested, there are some things to go over
-
Theres no control options, which made me think that I needed to use the touch controls. However it automatically binds all the controls, so it does have controller support
-
It is buggy, it will crash randomly if you look at it funny, I bet this will be fixed but for now keep that in mind.
-
I'm using the mainline version, so this could be different for early access
-
My device has a S8G2 with 8 GB ram, so your experience may differ
-
I didn't release for half of my tests that there's a fps counter, so some will not have fps counters, however these ran at 60 fps
-
I'm going to test this later, but I'm assuming that it also supports dlc
-
Some games don't have picture attached to them, but I'll put them in later
Super Mario 3D World: 60 fps, also has a fixed sky box, best way to play
Bowser Fury: Same as 3D world, seems to be the definitive way to play
Smash Bros Ultimate: 60 fps, feels normal, no infinite loading glitch, definitive way to play the game, might also support dlc
Mariokart 8 Deluxe: After replacing a couple files to fix the infinite mii loading screen, it runs very badly, single digits even, still better than skyline
Super Mario Odyssey: One out of 3 games to run worse. The first boot worked fine, but after that for some reason it just loaded gray boxes
Pokemon Sword: Low fps
ACNH: Same issue as SMO
TBOI: Afterbirth: Doesn't need to patch to work, definitive way of playing
(Going to add some more stuff to this post in the future when games get better or if I test more games)
I have looked almost everywhere but I still can find the file. If someone can help me I'll be thakful
I want to start using yuzu but since the official yuzu website has been shutdown I can't download it, I assume I can still get yuzu through a 3rd party site but does anyone know which ones are safe to use and if yuzu is even safe anymore since I heard from rumours Nintendo is collecting IP's from the app Edit: I keep suddenly seeing people commenting on my post, only comment solutions if the current one's commented no longer work/ there are better solutions
