There's a new Nintendo Switch emulator named suyu, which has been forked off from the original yuzu before Nintendo shut it down. A brave move, let's see if it pays off.
While yuzu had a Patreon campaign, and was pulling in somewhat big numbers, suyu is non-profit and does not accept donations of any kind. So that may help keep it away from Nintendo lawyers. That, and not having a lead developer jokingly post in a Discord about user piracy would help too. The suyu website is a bit barebones with no documentation, so you're very much on your own with this one for now.
The first release is out now with the changes in suyu listed below:
- Full rebrand.
- ICNS Icon generation.
- Error handling.
- Qlaunch initial integration(buggy/requires further testing; requires V17.0.0 firmware or newer).
- Gitlab ci for automated builds.
- Require all keys to be user provided, along with firmware.
- Improved Addons Manager.
- Various crash fixes.
- Initial work for MacOS support.
- Fix for video playback AMD devices.
- Enabled more features on AMD proprietary drivers.
- Multiplayer API re-implemented.
- Removed all telemetry.
- New UI options/improvements.
- QOL changes.
Do you think Nintendo will attempt to shut this down too? Considering they haven't (yet) gone after Ryujinx it may not be all that likely. Will have to wait and see.
It's like with the Nintendo DS emulator, DeSmuME. People always mistakenly read it like "Des-moom", but it's clearly meant to be "DS Emu Me".If I had a nickel for every DS emulator with a confusing name (that I am aware of), I'd have two nickels.
There was also no$gba, officially pronounced "No-Cash GBA". This was one I used to use years ago, because DeSmuME ran like molasses on my old grey Dell running XP (and I was a kid with no real knowledge on troubleshooting that issue).
It started off as a GBA emulator, hence the name, but it later on added DS support, but kept the name.
No idea if that emulator is still being maintained.

Some active fork for Citra ?
Happily for us, this Emulator is quite mature, it is stable and has a good compatibility.
But we need a team to maintain the code.

I build one, and it works. But now we also need someone to continue with citra like this. There are no other 3ds emulators at the level of citra (for now).
I have citra's source code if anyone wants it...

There's one called Lime 3DS https://github.com/RyzenDew/Lime-3DS-Emulator
One thing that both Suzu and Lime need, is some backup of the compatibility info, so they can host their own.

I also have no idea if that line of emulators is still maintained.According to Spanish Wikipedia, the last update was March 23rd, 2021. A little under 3 years ago.
Haven't used a DS emulator in a while, I primarily use my homebrewed 3DS for that.
