Add code required to use OpenGL assembly programs based on NV_gpu_program5. Decompilation for ARB programs is intended to be added in a follow up commit. This does **not** include ARB decompilation and it's not in an usable state. The intention behind assembly programs is to reduce shader stutter significantly on drivers supporting NV_gpu_program5 (and other required extensions). Currently only Nvidia's proprietary driver supports these extensions. Add a UI option hidden for now to avoid people enabling this option accidentally. This code path has some limitations that OpenGL compatibility doesn't have: - NV_shader_storage_buffer_object is limited to 16 entries for a single OpenGL context state (I don't know if this is an intended limitation, an specification issue or I am missing something). Currently causes issues on The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. - NV_parameter_buffer_object can't bind buffers using an offset different to zero. The used workaround is to copy to a temporary buffer (this doesn't happen often so it's not an issue). On the other hand, it has the following advantages: - Shaders build a lot faster. - We have control over how floating point rounding is done over individual instructions (SPIR-V on Vulkan can't do this). - Operations on shared memory can be unsigned and signed. - Transform feedbacks are dynamic state (not yet implemented). - Parameter buffers (uniform buffers) are per stage, matching NVN and hardware's behavior. - The API to bind and create assembly programs makes sense, unlike ARB_separate_shader_objects. |

yuzu emulator
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 and Linux. The emulator is capable of running several commercial games.
yuzu only emulates a subset of Switch hardware and therefore most commercial games do not run at full speed or are not fully functional.
Do you want to check which games are compatible and which ones are not? Please visit our Compatibility page!
yuzu is licensed under the GPLv2 (or any later version). Refer to the license.txt file included.
Check out our website!
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 also contact any of the developers on Discord in order to know about the current state of the emulator.
Building
- Windows: Windows Build
- Linux: Linux Build
- macOS: macOS Build
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.
