I'm very uninformed here, haven't gamed in a few years. But I've got a question- is yuzu software that is run on a rooted Switch device, or similar like a steam deck? Or do you run it on a computer? Or perhaps, it's all of the above.
Anyway, thanks in advance if someone could give me a high level overview
Yuzu, to my knowledge, is PC only.
To get the information you need to use it, you'll either download it illegally or hack a switch (legally?) To get encryption keys and dump a copy of your game.
PC only implies it's a windows program, yuzu runs on any x86_64 and ARMv8a or newer device.
I heard about the keys and the other website that serves them, seems an extremely important detail. I imagine the game dumps/copies are available as disk images of some sort online?
Thanks a lot for the info, skankhunt42!
.xci files are physical switch game images and .nsp files are updates or games from the eShop. Everything is online somewhere.
