I'll reinforce my comment from months ago: I have the latest version of Yuzu, the keys, the firmware, the Linux and Windows versions, and links to ROM sites, and I'll distribute them forever to whoever asks in my DMs. I packaged them in a simple .zip with easy to follow instructions.

That said, why simply not use Ryujinx? Even on the Steam Deck performance is very good nowadays. Super Mario Wonder plays at 60 FPS on the Deck (though you need to enable a very simple mod that disables some weird function the game runs, otherwise it drops to 30 FPS all the time). In fact, for AMD GPUs, you're doing yourself a huge favor by going Ryujinx over Yuzu and derivatives.

Ryujinx is solid, accurate and well known, it's a trusted emulator. The Yuzu forks are unknown, managed by non experienced people (one was quite literally created by a teenager with zero coding knowledge) and extremely ephemeral.

Ryujinx runs very poorly on older cpus like ryzen 3200G, I played ToTK fine on Yuzu, but on ryujinx the game becomes a slideshow, I also can't get 60fps on Princess Peach with it.

Yeah Ryujinx is in C# Unity so it has its limits. They wrote Yuzu mostly in C++ so while it tended to be buggy it performed way better.

Hey, Kadu! Itโ€™s so good to see you again! I have been using the yuzu zip you sent me, and have been playing the hell out of some of my games. I just wanted to say thank you so freaking much, from the bottom of my heart! ๐Ÿ™

Thanks for the very kind comment. Happy to hear you're enjoying Yuzu :)

Ryujinx is for perfect emulation, as in it aims to completely replicate how the Nintendo Switch works. While Yuzu is an emulator that aims for better performance than the Switch while playing Switch games.

You correct in the statement Ryujinx aims for accuracy and does not implement certain performance workarounds Yuzu did. However, your comment is exaggerated. Even Ryujinx isn't a cycle accurate emulator, nowhere close.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yeah, it is kind of exaggerated, though the reason people preferred Yuzu was this.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

I'm still pretty solid with my Yuzu install so I've no need to move to Ryujinx for now, but assuming they avoid Ninty's legal team I'll likely pick up Ryujinx when I need a fresh steamOS install and/or Ryujinx surpasses Yuzu's compatibility in a game I wanna play

Ryujinx don't works on android. So also not on the Odin 2 Pro as an example. that's why (for me).

Thank you for your good work.
