I thought the development of that particular emulation was halted because of all the drama around it.

    Suyu 0.0.4 also released a RetroArch core. Unfortuantely I couldn't get it working on Linux. I couldn't even compile it from source... anyone had luck?

    I haven't gotten any of the switch emus working on linux. I eventually got where I could load a game but couldn't get past the main menu.

    I have setup two standalone emulators, Yuzu and Ryujinx. They work well and have tested a bunch of games for short time. And I played both Zelda games for hundreds of hours on Yuzu (because it was a bit slow on Ryujinx). Even with mods. Setting first time up can be complicated. Some games even require newer firmware. You need firmware files and keys (the keys need to match the firmware). On Linux.

    Which main menu do you mean? The emultors own menu?

    In bittersweet news for fans of emulation everywhere, prominent Nintendo Switch emulator & Yuzu successor Suyu is shutting down with version 0.04, but not before introducing a limited static recompilation mode for emulated titles. While this final build sadly omits macOS and Android support, what it does offer is static recompilation for the CPU instructions demanded by a given game on top of the existing GPU emulation layer.

    Have these gains be verified at all? It sounds like bullshit to me.
