The latest Yuzu Nintendo Switch emulator mainline build is now available for download to all, introducing some extremely welcome changes that improve the experience on AMD CPUs.
Alongside resolving several issues, such as avoiding full path lookups in fsmitm_romfsbuild to reduce loading times in games with RomFS mod enabled, audio screeching issues in multiple titles, and crashing issues in the Pikmin 4 demo, mainline build 1482 makes use of monitorx instructions for power efficient sleeps for AMD CPUs, resulting in reduced power consumption by around 11%, and increased performance when power is manually limited ranging from 20% to 35%, which is great for laptops and handheld consoles powered by AMD CPUs, such as the AYA NEO, ROG Ally and the Steam Deck running Windows.
Lastly, the new build also introduces some fixes for Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom which caused the game to render darker than intended on AMD drivers after 23.5.2 with RDNA 2 GPUs or older. The full update notes can be found below.
The Yuzu development team seems to be focusing on improving CPU performance in general as of late, as Mainline build 1476, which was shared online last week, introduced a change to RDTC overhead by 50% which improved the performance of CPU bottlenecked games between 1% and 5%. The team is also working hard on continuing to improve The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom emulation, which reached such an excellent stage already that the game can run at 4K, 60 frames per second without too many issues on different hardware configurations.
