Following the demise of the popular Nintendo Switch emulator Yuzu, several other projects based on it began development, and one of them, Sudachi, was recently updated to support the console's home menu.
The latest build of the emulator, build v0e54fcf, introduces support for the console's home menu via QLaunch. The new build also introduces support for firmware 18.0.0, allowing the emulator to run games that require said firmware. Home menu support is now available for the Windows version of the emulator, and will be added to the Android version in the near future.

As already mentioned, Sudachi isn't the only Nintendo Switch emulator that emerged from the demise of Yuzu. One of them, the Suyu emulator, encountered some issues soon after the first compiled build was made available online, although development is still continuing.
Despite the emulator being around for some time, Nintendo going after the Yuzu Switch emulator was only a matter of time, as over and over, the emulator was used to play games before their official release. According to reports, Nintendo used telemetry data from the emulator to prove that it was being used to play pirated games, and so the developers did have no choice but to settle with the Japanese company before the matter went to trial and avoid much worse consequences than paying $2.4 million and ceasing development.
