The original Yuzu project used seven compatibility ratings: Perfect, Great, Okay, Bad, Intro/Menu, Won't Boot, and Not Tested. Yuzu development ended in March 2024, so this page treats archived Yuzu records and dated Yuzu progress reports as historical evidence, not fresh 2026 testing.
Use this Yuzu compatibility list to check how Nintendo Switch games were documented in archived Yuzu builds. Search for a game, review its status, and read the evidence note before changing emulator settings.
The original Yuzu project was discontinued in March 2024. Results can vary by Yuzu build, hardware, GPU driver, game update, and settings, so an archived rating is not a guarantee for every device.
High-interest rows on this page have been rechecked against archived Yuzu sources. Older legacy rows that have not yet been individually rechecked should be treated as provisional until a source is added.
What Each Yuzu Compatibility Rating Means
The archived Yuzu compatibility database used seven ratings:
- Perfect: no known issues were reported for the tested configuration.
- Great: playable from start to finish with only minor issues.
- Okay: playable, but issues could affect the experience.
- Bad: entered gameplay but had major problems.
- Intro/Menu: reached menus or introductory screens but not normal gameplay.
- Won’t Boot: did not reach the title screen or normal boot flow in the documented test.
- Not Tested: no usable archived compatibility rating was available.
Source: Archived Yuzu Game Compatibility List. Later Yuzu builds sometimes improved a title after its database rating was recorded, so dated progress-report evidence is noted separately where relevant.

Does Yuzu Still Work After Discontinuation?
Original Yuzu development ended in March 2024. Archived Yuzu ratings remain useful as historical evidence, but they are not current guarantees.
The original Yuzu project stopped development in March 2024. Archived builds and documentation still exist, but a historical Yuzu rating can differ from what a later build, driver, device, or community fork does.
This page therefore labels the table as archived Yuzu evidence unless a row clearly says it uses a dated Yuzu progress report.
Do Yuzu Forks Use the Same Compatibility Ratings?
Not necessarily. Community forks can include different fixes, regressions, drivers, or platform support.
A compatibility result from archived Yuzu should not be copied automatically to Eden, Citron, Sudachi, Suyu, or another fork. Even when projects share Yuzu ancestry, behavior can change as code and dependencies diverge.
If a row is based on archived Yuzu, this page says so. Fork-specific behavior should be sourced separately rather than treated as identical. For one focused comparison, see Yuzu vs Citron.
Supported File Formats for Yuzu-Compatible Games
File format alone does not determine game compatibility.
Yuzu could work with Nintendo Switch content such as NSP and XCI dumps. A bad or incomplete dump, missing decryption keys, game updates, emulator build differences, and drivers can all affect whether a title launches.
Use game files dumped from hardware and software you own. For setup and update steps, see the Windows installation guide. If Yuzu reports missing or incorrect keys, use the Yuzu Prod Keys guide; for system files, see the Yuzu Firmware guide.
Which Format Should You Use?
Use a clean dump of content you legally own; do not assume one container format guarantees better compatibility.
NSP and XCI describe different Switch content containers. The compatibility status of a game depends on more than the container format, so this page does not rank one format as universally better.
Important: use your own legally dumped content. See the Yuzu Legal Guide for details.
Device Compatibility: Why Results Vary
An archived compatibility rating is not a hardware benchmark or a promise for every device.
The same game can behave differently across Windows, Linux, Android, Steam Deck, GPU drivers, game versions, and Yuzu builds. Hardware-specific performance claims should be based on an actual test, not inferred from the archived compatibility grade.
For platform-specific setup requirements, use the dedicated Windows, Android, and Linux guides.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a current 2026 Yuzu compatibility database?
No. Original Yuzu development ended in March 2024. This page uses archived Yuzu compatibility records and dated Yuzu progress reports as historical evidence.
How should I read an archived Yuzu rating?
Treat it as a historical result for a documented Yuzu configuration. A later build, different driver, game update, or different hardware can behave differently.
Does compatibility differ between PC, Android, and Steam Deck?
Yes. The same title can behave differently across platforms and devices, so an archived compatibility grade is not a device-specific benchmark.
What should I check if a listed game will not open?
Check the exact error, your decryption keys, installed firmware, the game dump, game updates, GPU driver, and per-game settings. See the games not opening guide for a troubleshooting order.
Do Yuzu forks use exactly the same compatibility results?
Not necessarily. Community forks can include different fixes, regressions, drivers, and platform support, so archived Yuzu ratings should not be treated as guaranteed fork results.
Can archived Yuzu ratings tell me whether online features work?
No. A compatibility rating describes whether the game reached and ran gameplay in the documented test; it does not guarantee Nintendo online services or every network feature.
Do NSP and XCI files have different compatibility ratings?
Not by themselves. NSP and XCI are content containers. Compatibility also depends on the game dump, keys, updates, emulator build, and drivers.
Does an archived Yuzu rating guarantee Steam Deck performance?
No. Steam Deck uses a Linux-based environment, but actual performance still varies by title, build, driver, and settings. Use the Linux setup guide for platform-specific requirements.
