A team of developers has recently released the first beta version of suyu, a Switch emulator based on Yuzu. In this new version, users are required to provide their own Switch encryption keys and firmware. The latest changelog for suyu v.0.0.2 reveals that the developers have removed all references to Yuzu, fixed bugs, and added new UI elements to enhance the user experience.
Additionally, the team is currently working on developing a version of suyu for macOS and has already released a test version for this operating system. Users will now need to provide their own Switch encryption keys and firmware moving forward, such as through their own Switch console.
The development group had previously announced their plans to create a Nintendo Switch emulator named suyu without risking legal action from Nintendo. They made the decision to distance themselves from Yuzu and sought legal advice to ensure their emulation software was legally sound. The creators of suyu stress that the emulator is not intended for piracy and discourage any discussions related to piracy on their website and Discord server.
Yuzu, a Nintendo Switch emulator developed by Tropic Haze, recently made headlines due to legal actions taken by Nintendo. Nintendo sought to have Yuzu shut down as they believed the emulator was enabling widespread piracy. In response to Nintendo's legal threats, the makers of Yuzu agreed to a $2.4 million settlement and announced the discontinuation of the emulator. As a result, suyu has emerged as an alternative for those interested in Nintendo Switch emulation without the legal risks associated with Yuzu.
