[Update] The first Suyu build is now available for download. More information on this first release can be found here.
[Original Story] The Suyu Nintendo Switch Emulator is about to reach an important milestone, as its build is launching online very soon.
It has been announced today on the emulator's official Discord server that the Suyu emulator's first binary release is set to launch tomorrow, March 20th. The team will provide binaries for Linux x86_64, Windows x86_64, Android ARMv8a, and even an experimental macOS build. With the project being in the works for only two weeks, it is unlikely this release will feature any major improvement over the now-defunct Yuzu emulator, but still, it's great to see how the project seems to be picking wind.
The Suyu Nintendo Switch emulator rose from the ashes of the already mentioned Yuzu emulator earlier this month. The development of the popular Switch emulator was discontinued following a file suit from Nintendo, which was settled before it went to court with Developer Tropic Haze agreeing to cease development at once and pay Nintendo $2.4 million. It later came to light how Nintendo's claims that the emulator was used primarily to play pirated games were backed by telemetry data.
