Caution

Please be aware that Yuzu has received a DMCA takedown notice from Nintendo and as such will not be supported by Cobalt anymore. This also goes for Suyu, and any kind of off-brand lemonade inspired name slapped over the source code of Yuzu.
The instructions remain here for the time being, should you want to try using it anyways, but please do not send us bug reports if it doesn't work.
They will not be addressed.

1. Press File > Open yuzu folder in the menu bar at the top

Please note that the auto-update feature and logs are not available for the time being. No, we can not fix this.

Boot the game, make sure the Cobalt version is shown on the bottom right of the Title Scene, and you're good to go.

Bug reports

Important

Before opening an issue, make sure to consult the Wiki to see if your problem is already addressed.
Assuming your problem is already explained in the Wiki and you still opened an issue, we might close the issue without replying.

Issues are primarily meant for Cobalt contributors to keep track of genuine problems, so please do your due diligence.

In the case where you are certain the issue comes from Cobalt itself, consider opening an issue on this repository. Eventually provide a screenshot of the error message to make it easier.

Where are the sources?

The code is not ready to be used by other people for the time being, as the project this runs on is unreleased for the same reasons. This might change in the future. If you are the kind of person who only uses open-source homebrews, I'd rather you don't come to rant about it and just don't use this.
