A very good day to all you yuzu fans out there!
|
|
Today we are here to share with you some very exciting news for our biggest supporters!

## Foreword
|
|
|
|
As a start, let's talk about how emulator development works from a bird's-eye view.
|
|
We all know that developing emulators requires significant reverse-engineering and programming knowledge, as well as lots of coding, testing, and bug fixing.
|
|
That's the **technical** stuff.
|
|
But before we can even get there, we need people who have the required skills and are willing to invest their time and effort into the project.
|
|
These people, our Developers, work tirelessly to keep Switch emulation progressing.
|
|
They work mostly in their free time and are very passionate about the project.

|
|
`Wait a second, you guys probably already know all this stuff.`
|
|
What you might not know is that, most of the time these developers work for free.
|
|
They don't get paid for their efforts nor do they ask to be paid.
|
|
In addition to our development costs (Switch consoles and games, web services, etc.), some of our developers are in situations that would really benefit from even a small amount of income from this project.
|
|
|
|
As you probably know, we created a [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/yuzuteam) to address this need.
|
|
We have asked the community to help us by subscribing and they heard.
|
|
We now have over 200 patrons who collectively contribute to our project!
|
|
We would like to sincerely thank them for their love, support, and contributions!
|
|
|
|
When we decided to create a Patreon, we promised our patrons that they would get access to exclusive content as a thank you.
|
|
Until now, we have only partially fulfilled our promise - by means of exclusive Discord support.
|
|
It's about time we fulfilled on our promise.
|

## Big News
|
|
|
|
**As a token of our thanks, we are announcing today that we will be releasing a special Preview of yuzu to our patrons!**
|
|
|
|
We've made lots of incredible progress that we'd like to share first with the folks who have been our biggest supporters and fans.
|
|
|
|
> Starting today, patrons with donations of 5$/month and above (Patreon Roles: Supporter, Member, VIP) will get early access to new features via a **yuzu Patreon Preview**, before this content becomes available in our Nightly and Canary releases.
|
|
|
|
Features found in this preview are not exclusive and will definitely be available for regular users within a few days.
|
|
In accordance with our [open source license](https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu/blob/master/license.txt), the source code for these previews will be made available to our patrons.
|
|
|
|
This is just a preview release and is not similar to our Nightly or Canary builds - which get updated daily.
|
|
We may do similar releases like this in the future as we have more exciting new features to share, but not with any set regularity.
|
|
Support for this preview version will be given exclusively via the Patreon channels on our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/u77vRWY).
