I'm very uninformed here, haven't gamed in a few years. But I've got a question- is yuzu software that is run on a rooted Switch device, or similar like a steam deck? Or do you run it on a computer? Or perhaps, it's all of the above.
Anyway, thanks in advance if someone could give me a high level overview
Yuzu, to my knowledge, is PC only.
To get the information you need to use it, you'll either download it illegally or hack a switch (legally?) To get encryption keys and dump a copy of your game.
It runs on Android now, which might be what's gotten Nintendo extra annoyed here, since there are some relatively affordable Android handhelds that can run Switch games at close to full speed with some tweaking.
Having said that, I have an Odin 2 handheld, and it would have been cheaper and easier to just buy a Switch and the games I want to play.
