r/yuzu on Reddit: Installed using an apk, is it the latest version?
December 19, 2024 -

I installed yuzu on Android using an APK, which was supposed to be the last version. After the installation, the build version says "android-278". However, shortly after, Google Play Store tells me there's an update available, showing version "d590cfb9d". It's particularly weird, since yuzu can't be found on the Google Play Store anymore. Which of the two versions showed is the latest? Should I update?

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

Yuzu Android Build Notes: Update March 26,2024.

Build 167-169 - Performance Era, Build below 169 or lower are more performance/FPS improvement focus rather than graphical compiler fixes. Some bugs are present on this build especially playing newer game titles but games run more faster with more fps.

  • Observations: Most of the performance issues or decreased performance in "certain games" happen during Build 170 or later.

Build 177-178: Dec 31, 2023-Jan 1,2024 New Year Release - Stable build that runs old switch titles smoothly.

Build 234 - This is the checkpoint build for Mediatek users so if "Mediatek/Mali users" experience issues with later builds go back to this one to test your games.

Build 198-239 - If your games are not running properly on Older Build 167-178 and Newer build from 242-278(Final build), Consider these builds(198-239) as your check point and see if there's Improvement with your game.

Build 242-251 - Focused on Shader compiler and texture cache building fixes (graphics building related), Memory Management and some bug fixes. This build is where you'll notice performance improvement on certain Open World 2D/3D games(ex. Atelier Ryza 1, Mario Kart 8, etc) but some bugs and crashes are still present.

Build 252 - Gamepad Controller Input mapping 1st time implementation, build 252 and above will now have this feature.

Build 254-256 - I call this the "Center Point" this is where known titles like Assassin's Creed are running more smoothly.

Build 260-278 - Improve compatibility with newer switch game titles, Add more fixes with controller support, Attempt to fix 0.0fps bug and Yuzu crashes but the problem is that it gets worse in certain games...and also decrease in fps very noticeable in certain games best you try lower version of build if you encounter this issues..

  • Observations: Build 250 and later (Final Build 278) are more focused on bug fixes,crash fixes, graphical fixes specially with unreal engine games and Making it more compatible to run newer game titles in Yuzu Android but the issue is that noticeable decreased performance in some older game titles, And in newer or later builds the 0.0fps bug is getting more frequent in certain games.

-Recommendation/New Trick: if old games run in lower fps try downgrading to a lower version of Yuzu Build, start with Yuzu 167 to test if there's a change in performance then go try higher version build until you get the "Playable spot" for the game you want to run. Then combine the old Yuzu Build you selected with a new released driver for example: Yuzu Build 167 + Weabchan March 26,2024 driver.

  • Other Fixes for Memory leak issue,Game Crash, 0.0fps and etc.

We can't solve that completely for now It's an issue with the yuzu/suyu builds...we may need to wait for an update until devs fix it...

Most known fixes for now.

  1. On Yuzu Android Graphics setting set Accuracy level to "high".

  2. Clear Shader Cache.

  3. Try to downgrade to a lower version of yuzu build and do step 1.


Other Gathered Info:

Build 184 - Good for Persona 5 and Zelda BOTW.

Build 222 - Super Monkey Ball works better on this build.

Build 260's that has big changes based on their build changelog, Results in other games still unknown? needs further testing. Build 262,265,268

r/EmulationOnAndroid on Reddit: Yuzu Emulator for Android 10: Works on 3GB & 4GB RAM Devices | Full Setup Guide & How To Download
March 6, 2026 -

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about whether Yuzu Emulator can run on Android 10. Since the official builds require Android 11+, most people assume it’s impossible.

After looking into it, I found a forked build that actually works on Android 10 devices. I tested it and it runs depending on your device and GPU drivers.

I made a quick guide showing where to get the Android 10 compatible build, how to install the right drivers, and how to set everything up. If anyone here is still on Android 10 and wants to try running Nintendo Switch games, this might help.

July 18, 2025 - Well GitHub already has a builds page with Mr.Purple666 which is why it's harder to find on there now, but Eden is making some good moves right now with one of the three people building it being one of the original devs to take ryujinx and Citron from a C++ to an arm64. Which is the only reason it had apk rewrite compatibilities for Android

r/yuzu on Reddit: Which of these Nintendo Switch emulators is best on Android/Android?
May 20, 2024 -

The final version of Yuzu. That being Yuzu version 278. The April 11th version of Sudachi. Or Suyu build 0.0.3.

I see some people say Suyu is the best. Or that it literally has no improvements over Yuzu. I heard Sudachi is the best or it's the worst out of these emulators since in some ways in comparison to other Switch emulators it has worse performance in some games and other games are unplayable that are playable on other Switch emulators. And then there's Yuzu. Which has issues and is seen as the benchmark for these Switch emulators.

Which one of these is the best to use as the only Switch emulator you need for Android/mobile at the moment?
