Who are we?
Yuzu was created in 2018 by a group of developers behind a company called “Tropic Haze LLC”. It is now officially discontinued and no longer developed, updated or supported. Support for the Yuzu Emulator stopped in March 2024 when the developers were sued by Nintendo and had to settled a lawsuit of $2.4 Million.
Once the official Yuzu repositories were taken down, the source code was made a copy of and forked by a group called “Suyu”. The developers said that they have many different opportunities from what they can do with the fork of Yuzu they are currently developing.
The website (yuzu-emulator.net) was created as a fan-made website for preservation, educational and archiving reasons only. We are not affiliated/linked with the original developers of Yuzu. Here you will find various information regarding this project such as Screenshots, How it was installed, Downloads, and a detailed FAQ section.
