The record

Product: Torzu is a fork of yuzu, an open-source Nintendo Switch emulator.
Technology: The project says it is written in C++ with portability in mind.
Compatibility: The emulator is capable of running most commercial games at full speed if the necessary hardware requirements are met.
Game support: The project says it runs most Nintendo Switch games released up to the date of the Yuzu takedown.
Maintenance goal: The stated primary goal is long-term maintenance, including keeping the emulator functional and third-party dependencies updated.
Low-end systems: A secondary goal is improving usability on low-end systems through performance and playability improvements.
Development status: The maintainer says public development is limited and the repository will be kept compilable on Linux and Windows, with occasional updates from a private upstream and no promises.
Releases: The maintainer says they will not publish releases; others may publish builds.
Support: The maintainer says they do not offer support, though issues may be opened on the main repository for matters needing attention.
Build guides: The repository links build instructions for Android, Linux, and Windows.
Development hosting: The repository says most development and the central repository are hosted on Dark Git, with cloning instructions that require Tor.
Contributions: The maintainer says pull requests are accepted if they are of reasonable quality.
License: The repository says yuzu is licensed under GPLv3 or any later version.
Security note: The maintainer warns that fake Torzu websites have appeared and advises against downloading from them; the project says it will not have a clearnet website for the foreseeable future.
