For the past few days, a new Nintendo Switch emulator known as Citron has been available in early access for Windows, Linux, and Android. Developed by a certain Zephyron, this emulator is actually directly inspired by Yuzu’s open source code, although it offers relatively minor optimizations.
The developer has put several security measures in place to try to escape Nintendo’s legal action. When opening the PC version, a message states that the tool is designed to “ for educational purposes only » and disclaims all legal liability to the user. ” We strictly prohibit the use of Citron for pirated or unauthorized copies ”, says Zephyron. However, after adding the keys, the user can actually load the game of their choice.
