Frequently asked questions (FAQs)about Ryujinx

Where can I find the official steps for adding games?

The Setup & Configuration Guide on the project’s GitHub page has a section called “Adding your games to Ryujinx.” Follow those instructions to dump your titles and point the emulator to the correct files.

Does the application run on macOS devices?

Yes. A participant uses it on a MacBook because alternative Switch emulators are unavailable for them, indicating that the software supports macOS.

Which settings help boost performance on macOS?

Enabling shader cache, texture recompression, and macro HLE can raise frame rates. Some users also cap the game at 45 fps to smooth fluctuations. Results vary by chip and RAM, so try each option individually.

Can I remove the emulators that were packaged with individual games?

Yes. Once you have copied the ROMs and save data into your new, standalone installation, the old bundled folders are redundant and can be safely deleted to free disk space.

Where are my save files and how can I keep them?

Each bundled emulator keeps saves in its own sub-directory. Locate those folders, copy their contents, then paste them into the corresponding save location in your new Ryujinx profile to continue your progress.

How do I add games to the library after consolidation?

Open Options > Settings > Game Directories, click Add, and select the folder containing your .nsp or .xci files. Press Apply and Ryujinx will scan the folder and display the titles automatically.

Where in the emulator can I toggle motion controls?

Open the main settings menu, look for the controller or input section, and turn on motion controls. Confirm the controller is connected in Switch or DirectInput mode before testing in-game.

Does this emulator officially support piracy?

No. Like many console emulators, it requires users to supply their own keys and game dumps. The project itself does not distribute copyrighted material; enabling piracy could invite legal action.
