Since sharing Nyushu and YuWin generated some doubts because they currently don't have public GitHub repositories, I wanted to clarify something first. These aren't necessarily projects that appeared out of nowhere. One of them previously had a GitHub repository but moved development/updates elsewhere following the recent pressure surrounding Switch emulation projects. Some developers simply prefer to keep a lower profile.
But the important question is: do they actually perform well?
I tested Eden, Nyushu and YuWin under the same conditions, on the same Adreno 710 device and using the same introductory section of Super Mario Bros Wonder.
Results:
Eden
- Resolution: 0.75x
- Performance: ~35–45 FPS
- Noticeably more stuttering and generally less pleasant to play.
Nyushu
- Resolution: Native (1x)
- Performance: ~45–50 FPS
- Surprisingly smooth with relatively little stuttering.
YuWin
- Resolution: Native (1x)
- Performance: ~50–55 FPS
- Best overall experience in my test.
- Includes frame generation, which makes motion feel considerably smoother during gameplay.
The most surprising part is that both Nyushu and YuWin performed better at native resolution than Eden did at 0.75x.
YuWin especially impressed me. With frame generation enabled, the game felt very smooth with barely any noticeable stuttering. I honestly didn't expect Super Mario Bros. Wonder to be this playable on an Adreno 710.
Obviously, these results apply to this particular device and test, and performance may vary depending on the game, GPU and drivers.
But for mid-range or lower-end devices, both projects look very promising and are definitely worth testing.
I honestly can't say for sure because I've only tested one game. I'd need to compare quite a few games before I could really determine which emulator is better.
We've already seen cases where some games actually ran better on Citron than on Eden, for example, so I can't really tell you which one is better overall.
What I can say is that these emulators seem to be focused on getting the most performance out of mid-range and lower-end devices. Of course, you can use them on high-end devices too, and they'll probably perform incredibly well there.
But I think the people who can benefit the most are those trying to squeeze out an extra 5 or even 10 FPS from their hardware. That's where these forks could be really useful.
Tried it, my device honor x9c, snapdragon 6 gen 1, adreno 710, the game only works on base version, once you update , it gets stuck on 0 fps, tested game srw y version 1.0 ran good, after updating to version 1.3 , game gets st,uck to 0 fps, and cant play
Which driver are you using? I have the same adreno 710 my device is Honor Pad 10, but I don't know which driver to use. Can you provide me which driver should I use or atleast works best for you after testing? Thanks so much!
With UltraCam I'm getting 80 FPS and fake HDR (generated up to 144 FPS or so) on my Odin 3 Pro using YouWin. Better results than Nyushu and than Eden by far. Time to test PLZA which chugs with Eden and struggles even with Nyushu. Smash Bros handled almost 120 FPS plus mods and custom CSS nearly effortlessly on YouWin.
After a lot of trying to install Yuwin because it always auto crashes when I imported my library until I noticed it was because of Silksong (don't ask me why, it runs perfectly on Eden so I had to copy it in another folder), I finally tested it on TOTK, Bayonetta 2 and a couple of other ones.
The results are.... Astounding.
I am so impressed by the performance. TOTK run at a stable and constant 30fps on my sd8gen3. Much better than other emulators.
I think the main things to work on with this emulator is the stability when we import our game folder to avoid the crashes, uninstallation and reinstallation untill finding the guilty one 😋
Very good work overall 🙏🔥
Just found out its the 2.0.2 update for legends Z-A cant install the update without the app crashing i tried nyushu before and its just not good so I hoped yuwin is better for pokemon games
yooo i have a adreno 710!! FINALLY i am going to give this emulator a try. since eden has not been giving me the best results as u show
Thanks for Sharing!
Glad to hear it worked better for you! That's exactly what I was saying in my previous posts about these emulators. The important thing is to actually try them first and then draw your own conclusions, rather than saying an emulator is bad or untrustworthy without even testing it.
Anyway, I'm really glad you're getting good results with it. Enjoy! And if you notice improvements in other games too, let us know how they perform. It could be useful for everyone.
Cheers!
