The kernel uses the handle table of the current process to retrieve the
process that should be used to retrieve certain information. To someone
not familiar with the kernel, this might raise the question of "Ok,
sounds nice, but doesn't this make it impossible to retrieve information
about the current process?".
No, it doesn't, because HandleTable instances in the kernel have the
notion of a "pseudo-handle", where certain values allow the kernel to
lookup objects outside of a given handle table. Currently, there's only
a pseudo-handle for the current process (0xFFFF8001) and a pseudo-handle
for the current thread (0xFFFF8000), so to retrieve the current process,
one would just pass 0xFFFF8001 into svcGetInfo.
The lookup itself in the handle table would be something like:
template <typename T>
T* Lookup(Handle handle) {
if (handle == PSEUDO_HANDLE_CURRENT_PROCESS) {
return CurrentProcess();
}
if (handle == PSUEDO_HANDLE_CURRENT_THREAD) {
return CurrentThread();
}
return static_cast<T*>(&objects[handle]);
}
which, as is shown, allows accessing the current process or current
thread, even if those two objects aren't actually within the HandleTable
instance.

yuzu emulator
yuzu is an experimental open-source emulator for the Nintendo Switch from the creators of Citra.
It is written in C++ with portability in mind, with builds actively maintained for Windows, Linux and macOS. The emulator is currently only useful for homebrew development and research purposes.
yuzu only emulates a subset of Switch hardware and therefore is generally only useful for running/debugging homebrew applications. At this time, yuzu cannot play any commercial games without major problems. yuzu can boot some games, to varying degrees of success, but does not implement any of the necessary GPU features to render 3D graphics.
yuzu is licensed under the GPLv2 (or any later version). Refer to the license.txt file included.
Check out our website!
For development discussion, please join us on Discord.
Development
Most of the development happens on GitHub. It's also where our central repository is hosted.
If you want to contribute please take a look at the Contributor's Guide and Developer Information. You should as well contact any of the developers on Discord in order to know about the current state of the emulator.
Building
- Windows: Windows Build
- Linux: Linux Build
- macOS: macOS Build
Support
We happily accept monetary donations or donated games and hardware. Please see our donations page for more information on how you can contribute to yuzu. Any donations received will go towards things like:
- Switch consoles to explore and reverse-engineer the hardware
- Switch games for testing, reverse-engineering, and implementing new features
- Web hosting and infrastructure setup
- Software licenses (e.g. Visual Studio, IDA Pro, etc.)
- Additional hardware (e.g. GPUs as-needed to improve rendering support, other peripherals to add support for, etc.)
We also more than gladly accept used Switch consoles, preferably ones with firmware 3.0.0 or lower! If you would like to give yours away, don't hesitate to join our Discord and talk to bunnei. You may also contact: donations@yuzu-emu.org.
