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 release contains many low-level and build system improvements, alongside game fixes and expanded platform support for macOS and Android/x86_64. Additionally, the experimental *Overlay Applet* has been added, which can be accessed via « Enable Overlay Applet » and holding the home button for a short time, much like a real Switch.
Universal
– Improved shader compilation speed
– Fixed the « Audio Engine » setting not properly saving
– Low-level optimizations and performance improvements (as always)
– Experimental support for overlay and system setup applets
– Fixed some system settings not saving under certain conditions
– Fixed some race conditions and cache/memory issues on NCE
– GPU accuracy levels have been reworked. Use « Performance » for high performance but more frequent graphical issues, « Accurate » for less graphical glitches at the cost of performance, and « Balanced » for a mix of the two.
– *Accurate* is not needed on many titles. Most titles that required High before (Pokemon Legends: Z-A, Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, etc.) can safely use Balanced.
– Fixed Metroid Prime 4 issues
– Fixed game icons on the Switch Home Menu (QLaunch)
– Reduced JIT latency by removing unnecessary reg_allocs
– Themed logo for the New Year and Christmas
– Fixed a memory leak in video decoding that could cause crashes in games such as Echoes of Wisdom
Renderer
– Further improvements to Pokemon Legends: Z-A and Scarlet/Violet graphical issues
– Fixed Lego Horizon white screen
– Fixed blurring in Burnout
– All platforms and drivers will now attempt to continue even if the driver is determined to be unsuitable
– *This also allows the experimental KosmicKrisp MESA driver to run on macOS, and the Dozen/dzn driver to run on WSL*
– Swapchain presentation now uses a faster deque method
Desktop
– Network configuration can now be done per-game
– Fixed macOS Vulkan crash
– Enabled VideoToolbox video accelerator on macOS
– Fixed the delay in mouse panning
Android
– Reworked the setup screen to use smaller buttons rather than giant pages for each operation
– Fixed some edge cases where game decryption and mod loading would take longer than usual
– Significantly reduced final APK size
– The way FFmpeg was built on Android has changed to use the same method as other platforms. This resulted in FFmpeg being able to be statically linked rather than distributed as a shared library like before. Some further cuts to unneeded libraries, encoders, and decoders were also done, ultimately resulting in a ~9MB smaller APK that is also *truly* 16KB-aligned.
– Removed the now-unnecessary Release Fences Early toggle.
– Removed the now-unnecessary Frame Interpolation, aka Enhanced Frame Pacing, setting.
– This option used to help with frame pacing, but further improvements to our Vulkan backend have resulted in it being unnecessary.
Internal
– Initial Windows 7 support
– This is currently command-line only, though support for Qt is in the works
– Improved NetBSD and macOS support
– Initial Android x86_64 (ChromeOS, Atom) support
– Invalid kernel service paths are marked as unreachable
– Vibration and mouse threads are given less priority
– Debug asserts now also display the expression of the asserts
– Removed unneeded HeapTracker on Linux (fixes some performance and memory issues)
– Fixed some cases of the « Filesystem object at … is not a directory » warning
– Stubbed parental controls and some other stuff from Firmware 21
Platform Support
The following platforms have been elevated to first-class support:
– Linux/aarch64
– For Gentoo users, `games-emulation/eden-0.0.4` is now keyworded for `~arm64`.
– Windows/arm64
– macOS
– Android/x86_64
