Yuzu emulator for Mac OS (OS X)
Description
Yuzu for Mac OS is an experimental open-source emulator for the Nintendo Switch from the creators of Citra, developed by bunnei and its team.
It is written in C++ with portability in mind, with builds actively maintained also for Windows, Linux, Android and iOS.
Features
Yuzu for Mac only emulates a subset of Switch hardware and therefore most commercial games do not run at full speed or are not fully functional.
Mobile CPUs will not reach the same performance as their desktop counterparts due to thermal, power, and technical limitations.
This emulator is licensed under the GPLv2 (or any later version). Refer to the license.txt file included.
GPUs must support OpenGL 4.5 (or higher) & OpenGL Compatibility profile, or Vulkan 1.1.
You can download the last version of Yuzu emulator for Mac OS on the link button below. The beta version program is now open.
System requirements
In order to run the application correctly, it is necessary to meet the minimum requirements given in the table below.
| OS version | OS X – 10.14 or above |
