This list does not imply endorsement or support of any kind. It merely lists compatibility.

  • The Nintendo Switch is the official hardware for which the mod was designed for and works the most reliably on.
  • Yuzu has the least issues we've heard of and since it's not being updated in the future, we don't think any new issues will arise.
    • It has been discontinued.
  • Sudachi we've heard of some of the most success with. Eden was recommended by its creator upon its archival.
    • If you plan to install an older build, be careful. There appears to be fake or unofficial websites that could be malicious.
    • It has also been discontinued.
  • Eden seems to do the best for people who use it.
    • It is a fork of Yuzu.
  • Ryujinx & its forks are not very good for SMOO. It has netcode that clashes with SMOO somehow that causes issues.
    • It is the only option on Mac so we do recommend it in that case.
  • Citron has had issues, in our experience. We've heard of some people having success and some people having issues.
    • Citron has undergone some drama ( ¹ , ² ) in recent years that may be worth noting. They have been accused of "taking keys" without clearly saying so and the lead developer (Zephyron-Dev) may have a history ( ³ , ⁴ ).
  • Suyu is hit or miss. We wouldn't personally recommend it but we're not 100% sure it has issues.

We are aware Sudachi, Citron, Eden, and Suyu are based on Yuzu. They are not made equally. Some break or change code that others do not.
