The team behind the project has been extremely helpful with any queries we've had and have constantly helped us with any issues we've come across. **It should be noted that Skyline is not based on Ryujinx**. + +* **[yuzu](https://yuzu-emu.org/):** Skyline's shader compiler is a **fork** of *yuzu*'s shader compiler with Skyline-specific changes, using it allowed us to focus on the parts of GPU emulation that we could specifically optimize for mobile while having a high-quality shader compiler implementation as a base. The team behind *yuzu* has also often helped us and have graciously provided us with a license exemption. * **[Switchbrew](https://github.com/switchbrew/):** We've extensively used Switchbrew whether that be their **[wiki](https://switchbrew.org/)** with its colossal amount of information on the Switch that has saved us countless hours of time or **[libnx](https://github.com/switchbrew/libnx)** which was crucial to initial development of the emulator to ensure that our HLE kernel and sysmodule implementations were accurate. -* **[Atmosphère](https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere):** We've used [libmesosphere](https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/tree/master/libraries/libmesosphere) as another reference for our HLE kernel, its faithfulness to the HOS kernel helps us a lot. This makes it invaluably important for us as a tool for writing code that can accurately emulate HOS behavior without missing any crucial parts. - --- ### Disclaimer
