Yes, but public data is thin: Ryubing lists it as Playable (Vulkan required). The yuzu archive list says it won't boot, though a comment on its archived page says a newer yuzu EA build ran it perfectly. No public tests with frame rates or settings have been found yet, including for Mac, iPhone/iPad and Android.
Settings & known issues
- Use Vulkan on Ryubing (noted in its official list).
