Yes, and it runs well: Citron lists it as Perfect and Ryubing as Playable, and the yuzu archive notes that firmware must be installed in the emulator or it crashes at the title screen. MeloNX on an iPhone 14 Pro Max is reported at 720p/60fps using under 4GB of RAM; on Mac, Ryubing on a MacBook Neo (A18 Pro) has about five minutes of shader stutter at the start and runs almost perfectly after that. No public Android tests were found.
Settings & known issues
- Without firmware installed in the emulator it crashes at the title screen (yuzu-era note).
- A few minutes of shader stutter at the start is normal; it smooths out once cached (user report).
