Also released today was a new Yuzu Nintendo Switch emulator Early Access build. This 3893 build replaces queue with a fibonacci heap in core timing, leading to reduced stuttering and better performance in multiple, unspecified games.

The Yuzu Nintendo Switch emulator is among the better-supported emulators ever released, often capable of running new Switch games at launch with higher resolution and better performance. In some cases, however, it takes a little time to improve the emulation of certain games, as it was for last year's Bayonetta 3, but the long wait was worth it, as the emulated version of the game is now in a good state, and can be enjoyed with much better visuals on PC.

More information on the Yuzu Nintendo Switch emulator can be found on its official website. The emulator's latest mainline build can also be downloaded from the official website, while Early Access builds are only available for Patreon subscribers.
