Eden est un émulateur Nintendo Switch open-source issu d’un fork de l’émulateur Yuzu — lancé par l’ancien développeur de Citron, Camille LaVey, et l’équipe Eden. Il est écrit en C++ avec une approche axée sur la portabilité, et est disponible pour Windows, Linux et Android.
L’émulateur est capable d’exécuter la plupart des jeux commerciaux à pleine vitesse, à condition de répondre aux exigences matérielles nécessaires.
Les changements:
This is the stable release for v0.1.0. This release contains some UI improvements, regression fixes, and more of the usual performance and graphical improvements.
**If you face any spurious visual glitches that don’t seem right, remember to wipe your shader cache.**
Universal
– Significantly reduced memory synchronization and DMA operation overhead
– With Sync Memory Operations enabled, users may now see a performance boost, depending on their specific setup.
– Games that rely heavily on DMA operations see significant performance boosts.
– This mostly affects desktop targets, but Android may see some improved performance as well.
– Implemented the News page to show news for our releases
– Improved shader compilation speed on lower-end systems
– Fixed performance regressions in Luigi’s Mansion 3
– As part of this change, it was noted that Fast GPU Time on 128 was actually causing significant performance loss on many games. As such, this option has been removed, and now only 256 and 512 are available.
– Reworked certain setting’s presentation
– Several options that had a toggle have been changed to have an explicit « Off » or « Normal » setting instead.
– ExtendedDynamicState is now a selection box on all platforms, rather than a slider.
– Web username and token now have default values
– Optimized dummy thread storage
– This reduces CPU usage and improves 1/0.1% lows slightly.
– GetSystemInfo has been implemented
– This makes Eden behave closer to a real Switch, meaning certain mods that attempt to disable themselves on Yuzu-based emulators may now work properly.
– Added stubs for firmware 21.1.0
– Some newer games that require 21+ may see improvements from this.
– Improved JIT performance on devices with higher memory
– Added GPU-accelerated texture unswizzling options
– Notably, this improves graphical bugs in Metroid Prime 4.
– Allow skipping player selection on certain games that forcefully select another user
– Notably, this makes certain Alien Hominid and certain Jackbox packs playable without creating multiple users.
– Added a toggle to remove bloom and blur effects from certain games
– Notably, this affects Burnout and the chibi-style Zelda games.
– Implemented game title sorting
– Replaced the default gray profile picture with the Eden logo
– Reduced core memory overhead
– Fixed Jackbox and other games that require an internet connection
– Fixed memory allocation and some graphics bugs in Marvel: Cosmic Invasion
– Fixed audio issues in Metroid Prime 4
– Fixed audio mute not fully muting sounds
– Fixed Ender Magnolia crashing on older CPUs
– Fixed microphone input
– Fixed the `+ Options` menu on Qlaunch
– Fixed an occasional save issue with Absolum on Cyrillic languages
Renderer
– ExtendedDynamicState and other extensions have been completely reworked
– If games didn’t work properly before with ExtendedDynamicState or similar, try again.
– Improved flickering in several problematic games
– Fixed some graphics-related performance issues in Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition and Pokemon Scarlet/Violet
– Fixed some issues with older CPUs that lack certain vectorization instructions
– Improved resource usage on Android GPUs
– Improved cache hit rate and reduced CPU overhead during GPU processing
– Notably, this reduces the amount of time it takes for graphical performance to stabilize.
– Improved rendering on stock Qualcomm drivers
– Notably, some bugs have been fixed on Link’s Awakening, Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
– This affects both Android and Windows on ARM laptops.
– Fixed flickering and odd texture artifacts at 1x resolution
– Notably, this improves games like Luigi’s Mansion 3.
– Fixed occasional bugs where MK8DX and others could randomly explode into a slurry of colors, or have intermittent flickering.
Desktop
– The Graphics submenu has been reorganized
– You can now change the location of save data
– The Discord RPC implementation now shows the current game in the main status instead of just « Eden »
– Fix an issue where more than 4 controllers couldn’t connect at once
Android
– Added a page to change some Turnip driver settings
– This only affects open-source Adreno drivers.
– Fixed some UI bugs with the game list
– Changing device rotation could cause temporary misalignments
– Gamepad navigation was very finicky and sometimes nonfunctional
– Fixed an app crash caused by overlay auto-hide
– Fixed cases where the overlay could cause the touchscreen to be disabled temporarily
– Ported custom path settings from desktop
– Added a Quick Settings menu on the right of the screen during emulation
– Added an option to disable automatic BCn driver patching for Adreno
– This patch operation can cause crashes on really old systems.
– Fixed some miscellaneous crashing issues that affect Turnip but not stock Adreno drivers
Internal
– Some log spam has been reduced
– `YUZU_USE_BUNDLED_QT` has been reworked, and the bundled Qt is now fully static on Windows and MacOS.
– Usage on Linux outside of CI is not recommended, and this bundled Qt does not support WebEngine.
– For packagers: `YUZU_ENABLE_LTO` is now just `ENABLE_LTO`, and `YUZU_USE_FASTER_LD` is now `USE_FASTER_LINKER`.
