Lioncash bc16f7f3cc renderer_base: Make creation of the rasterizer, the responsibility of the renderers themselves
Given we use a base-class type within the renderer for the rasterizer
(RasterizerInterface), we want to allow renderers to perform more
complex initialization if they need to do such a thing. This makes it
important to reserve type information.

Given the OpenGL renderer is quite simple settings-wise, this is just a
simple shuffling of the initialization code. For something like Vulkan
however this might involve doing something like:

// Initialize and call rasterizer-specific function that requires
// the full type of the instance created.
auto raster = std::make_unique<VulkanRasterizer>(some, params);
raster->CallSomeVulkanRasterizerSpecificFunction();

// Assign to base class variable
rasterizer = std::move(raster)

yuzu emulator

Travis CI Build Status AppVeyor CI Build Status

yuzu is an experimental open-source emulator for the Nintendo Switch from the creators of Citra.

It is written in C++ with portability in mind, with builds actively maintained for Windows, Linux and macOS. The emulator is currently only useful for homebrew development and research purposes.

yuzu only emulates a subset of Switch hardware and therefore is generally only useful for running/debugging homebrew applications. At this time, yuzu cannot play any commercial games without major problems. yuzu can boot some games, to varying degrees of success, but does not implement any of the necessary GPU features to render 3D graphics.

yuzu is licensed under the GPLv2 (or any later version). Refer to the license.txt file included.

For development discussion, please join us on Discord.

Development

Most of the development happens on GitHub. It's also where our central repository is hosted.

If you want to contribute please take a look at the Contributor's Guide and Developer Information. You should as well contact any of the developers on Discord in order to know about the current state of the emulator.

Building

Support

We happily accept monetary donations or donated games and hardware. Please see our donations page for more information on how you can contribute to yuzu. Any donations received will go towards things like:

  • Switch consoles to explore and reverse-engineer the hardware
  • Switch games for testing, reverse-engineering, and implementing new features
  • Web hosting and infrastructure setup
  • Software licenses (e.g. Visual Studio, IDA Pro, etc.)
  • Additional hardware (e.g. GPUs as-needed to improve rendering support, other peripherals to add support for, etc.)

We also more than gladly accept used Switch consoles, preferably ones with firmware 3.0.0 or lower! If you would like to give yours away, don't hesitate to join our Discord and talk to bunnei. You may also contact: donations@yuzu-emu.org.
