Having tried both, I prefer Yuzu for playing Tears of the Kingdom: https://yuzu-emu.org/

Both are great, though, and the rapid speed of development on both projects means that whatever impressions I formed earlier this year are likely already out of date!

I wouldn't have guessed C# would be a good fit for something like this, but neat to see!

Been using this on my Macbook Pro M1 to play Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart using XBox controllers. My kids and I love it.

Is there any way to play games (legally) on this if you don't have a Switch to dump them from? Is it possible to buy Switch games through a web browser?

You won't be able to download or dump them without a Switch though.

Having a jailbroken switch is the only way.

So every new one you buy is almost definitely a patched V2, and all the Switch Lites and OLEDs are not jailbrakable either, without soldering a modchip.

It's just a game where an italian guy runs in a supermarket with a cart, nothing to do with the nintendo one :D
