Who Are We?
Yuzu was launched in 2018 by the developers at Tropic Haze LLC. However, development on Yuzu was officially discontinued in March 2024 following a lawsuit from Nintendo, resulting in a $2.4 million settlement. When the official Yuzu repositories were taken down, a new team called Suyu forked the source code, creating a fresh path for the emulator with plans to expand its potential.
