Important Notice regarding Yuzu: As of March 2024, the Yuzu emulator project has been shut down as part of a legal settlement with Nintendo. The official website and repositories are no longer available. Consequently, downloading firmware files is significantly more difficult and carries higher risks of malware from unverified third-party sources. Known issues with 15
| Firmware | Pros | Cons | |----------|------|------| | 15.0.1 | Stable for 2022–2023 games; lower RAM usage than 16.0.0+; well-tested by older yuzu builds. | Cannot run titles requiring 16.0.0+ (e.g., Tears of the Kingdom base game with updates) | | 16.0.0+ | Supports newer games & DLC; improved system applet behavior. | Slightly heavier; requires prod.keys for 16.0.0+ as well. | | 14.1.2 | Lightweight; good for older games. | Fails on many 2022+ titles. |
Recommendation: For most users, 15.0.1 is a minimum baseline for 2022–early 2023 titles. For current (post-2024) emulation, firmware 17.0.0 or 18.0.0 is preferred.
