Eden

Eden is an open-source Nintendo Switch emulator, forked from the Yuzu emulator — started by former Citron developer Camille LaVey and the Eden team. It is written in C++ with portability in mind, and we actively maintain builds for Windows, Linux and Android.

Compatibility

The emulator is capable of running most commercial games at full speed, provided you meet the necessary hardware requirements.

A list of supported games will be available in future. Please be patient.

Check out our website for the latest news on exciting features, monthly progress reports, and more!

Development

Most of the development happens on our Git server. It is also where our central repository is hosted. For development discussions, please join us on Discord or Revolt. You can also follow us on X (Twitter) for updates and announcements.

If you would like to contribute, we are open to new developers and pull requests. Please ensure that your work is of a high standard and properly documented. You can also contact any of the developers on Discord or Revolt to learn more about the current state of the emulator.
