Technical notes

Citron is a standalone Nintendo Switch emulator, community fork of yuzu by Zephyron. dev.keys can be used instead of prod.keys when use_dev_keys is enabled (for Switch dev units). Firmware (system NCAs) must be installed through Citron's UI from a firmware ZIP or NCA files. Required for commercial games. Homebrew (.nro, .nso) can run without keys or firmware.
