i looked into this recently, and whilst you can use yuzu, i would recommend sudachi. suyu is probably fine too. citron is evil, do not use. just recently all the good devs that were annoyed by the shit that happened (devs being pain in the ass, leading to posts about citron drama) decided to team up and announced a new emulator: Eden. now we gotta wait and see and i’m very hyped for it. till then i’ll keep using sudachi :D

The aur is a great place.

The 3 biggest hits there are
Also remember there is also ryujinx
Just a heads up but Ryujinx is dead. It has been picked up by two groups that have woven in their own personal agendas rather than making the emulation better.
The original devs have removed themselves so you’re better off getting the last original release or just moving to Yuzu. Nintendo really did squeeze these emulators into the dirt 😡
It's a Saiyan-hydra situation. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, and whenever one falls there's another to take its place.
These takedowns should cause emulator projects to re-assess how they manage themselves in the future. I don't think it makes any sense to tie any identities to making emulators; it's just not worth it.
I got sudachi right when all that shit went down with yuzu. Had to mess with the settings a bunch, but once it got dialed in it was running really well when I was playing Tears of the Kingdom
There's been some extensive drama around citron, which is so convoluted I am not able to summarise it. Some devs dropped out, one of them allegedly a main contributor. So maybe that one is a bit uncertain in terms of future.
There's Torzu if you're interested
This is cool, but where do I download it?
On that link. Scroll down to releases and download the Windows .zip file. If you're not on Windows, you're going to be learning to build from source.
Thank you. I didn't know there was a "releases" section to the right of Github repositories.
Github really tries to hide the Releases page lol it's so annoying as a dev, it's even worse on mobile
I usually end up just directly linking to /releases/latest
I think it's a good design in some ways and worse in others.
For this case it's annoying because it's just a .zip that has the binaries ready to go i assume.
But you really want the focus to be on the README and good install instructions. Especially when the releases are just uncomiled source code (which is common).
So I think GitHub leaves this focus on the README and let's the dev decide what is the focus of the people visiting.
Well it doesn't really focus on your README either because all the files and folders are above it
This is gonna be a controversial take, but when Github was formed it was never meant to be the main website of your project. Even though there are Pages now, it's still primarily a Git repository host for developers, not a front-end website for end users of those projects.
tell that to Google lol, my Github pages are way higher than my website
Again, this is by design. The point is GitHub is for developers. If a non developer reaches the page they SHOULD feel a little intimidated. They SHOULD be either forced to read some notes or come back and ask for help (like the commenter did).
This is for their own benefit. Its meant to give people pause about what they are installing or downloading. Since GitHub can host anything. It SHOULD feel different than downloading Discord or some other app.
It is not meant to be a friendly UI that says "Install here!". It is meant to make the user have some caution over what they are doing.
And, again, it's designed for developers. Not end users.
FYI this is a mirror and the OP is on the deep web
Sudachi is also being updated, though it's entirely minor issues and not compatibility related yet.
