# Documents Index
This repo includes several documents that explain both high-level and low-level concepts about Ryujinx and its functions. These are very useful for contributors, to get context that can be very difficult to acquire from just reading code.
Intro to Ryujinx
==================
Ryujinx is an open-source Nintendo Switch emulator, created by gdkchan, written in C#.
* The CPU emulator, ARMeilleure, emulates an ARMv8 CPU and currently has support for most 64-bit ARMv8 and some of the ARMv7 (and older) instructions.
* The GPU emulator emulates the Switch's Maxwell GPU using either the OpenGL (version 4.5 minimum), Vulkan, or Metal (via MoltenVK) APIs through a custom build of OpenTK or Silk.NET respectively.
* Audio output is entirely supported via C# wrappers for SDL2, with OpenAL & libsoundio as fallbacks.
