Even more confusing considering Citra is a well-known 3DS emulator, so you'd think that's a fork of that

in fact it’s where most of the yuzu devs come from. they forked their infrastructure and GUI from citra

Yuzu is also a citrus fruit, so it at least makes sense.

Isn't the joke of the Portable Nintendo emulators, that their names are fruits? Citra -> Yuzu -> MelonDS

[–] TheGalacticVoid@lemm.ee 1 points 23 hours ago

I think that joke started with Citra because 3DS model numbers started with "CTR"
