It’s reported that the Google Play store entry of Eden emulator (a Switch emulator) is no longer available. We don’t know the reason, but my educated guess is that Nintendo might have striked. I recommend to download current official clean builds and source code for backup, just in case you want to use it later.

I personally still use last official build of Yuzu, even today (playing Tears of the Kingdom). I never tried Eden, but it might be useful to archive it, so I do not need to download builds of others if I can’t build it from source for any reason.

Here is a random article about this subject: https://www.androidauthority.com/play-store-first-nintendo-switch-emulator-3597451/

    Do you know where to get that final build of Yuzu anymore? Asking for a friend.

    EDIT: Flathub still works:

    flatpak install flathub org.yuzu_emu.yuzu

    Same thing works for final build of Ryujinx:

    flatpak install flathub org.ryujinx.Ryujinx

      If you don’t get it from the original developers before the closure, then there is always a little bit of risk getting malware filled builds. So I would be highly cautious. That’s why you should build either from source, or archive before its shut down. If you search the web, there are many sources, sites and users offering the executable for either Windows or other operating systems. I personally wouldn’t download and execute random executables like that.

      That’s the reason why I don’t give links, because I can’t guarantee its free from malware. Really, the best is you build from source. I know most people don’t do that, but this is the best.

          search for “yuzu” on archive.org should give lot of interesting results. There are source codes and latest builds available. I can’t be sure if even the sources are not tempered with. Use at own risk.

          I think the latest Yuzu version from the original developers is “1733”. I have the version “1731” (2024-03-01) only 2 days before the shutdown. I had archived everything that day when reading about NOntendo going after Yuzu.

            Dug in a little bit and ended up here:

            https://web.archive.org/web/20240304142713/https://flathub.org/apps/org.yuzu_emu.yuzu

            Which was linked to from here on the original Yuzu site:

            https://web.archive.org/web/20240304063132/https://yuzu-emu.org/downloads/#linux

            The flathub manual installation via command line still works. Unless flathub has been hacked (which there is currently no evidence that they have), it’s the same Yuzu. Seems to be version 1734.

            flatpak install flathub org.yuzu_emu.yuzu

            The response from the server indicates this is the same Yuzu.

            Info: app org.yuzu_emu.yuzu branch stable is end-of-life, with reason:
   This application is no longer maintained. See https://yuzu-emu.org/ for details.

              That’s interesting! I didn’t know Yuzu was still available on Flathub (don’t remember to have checked it). There is also Ryujinx (the other big Switch emulator that was available alongside Yuzu) still available on Flathub. Its less performant and Tears of the Kingdom had early after 7 hours or so a game breaking bug hindering progress, that made me to play on Yuzu. Then I stayed on Yuzu. But I have it installed too, just in case. :-)

              Yuzu works great, but I did not test with newest games. You also need Firmware and prod keys (I’m not sure if the keys are actually needed in Yuzu). Some games could require a minimum Firmware version. I’m not sure if its allowed to post links here, so I’m leaving it to you for home exercise.
