Eden is a Nintendo Switch emulator written in C++ that runs on supported platforms. It is a continuation of the original Yuzu software that broke off from Citron (another Switch emulator), with multiple improvements, several quality-of-life fixes, higher performance, and greater stability. Unlike many of the other continuations, Eden is still being actively developed and refined. Camille LaVey is currently the lead developer on the project.
Currently the following platforms are supported by the Eden Team:
| Platform | Architecture | Supported Versions | Status | Notes |
