Citron is yet one more Switch emulator appearing online
(overkill.wtf)
Changelog: we renamed it
From what I saw, they're doing some changes to improve shader recompilation Maybe too early, but seems this time they might actually do something to improve the codebase instead of 'yet another renamed yuzu'
tl;dr: It's a Yuzu fork.
I hope this one will get less attention or at least do « everything right ». No promoting hacking, no vending stuff and all, so that it stays alive despite any Nintendo attempts to kill it.
Right don't use your main GitHub accounts ffs
I’m hoping that at least one of them grows in development once the Switch 2 and its games arrived.
At least this one isnt hosted on Github, so assume its more difficult for them to take this one down(?)
Even more confusing considering Citra is a well-known 3DS emulator, so you'd think that's a fork of that
Isn't the joke of the Portable Nintendo emulators, that their names are fruits? Citra -> Yuzu -> MelonDS
Yuzu is also a citrus fruit, so it at least makes sense.
in fact it’s where most of the yuzu devs come from. they forked their infrastructure and GUI from citra

I wonder when the Switch emulator titled "YASE" (literally "Yet Another Switch Emulator") will show up and bring back an old tradition.
