Now known by many users, the emulator par excellence for those who intend to play Switch titles directly on their PC is Yuzu . In this regard, if you want to download and configure it in the best possible way, we recommend that you follow our dedicated guide: Yuzu installation and configuration.
Despite its notoriety and increasing compatibility with games, Yuzu has a "weakness": it does not allow you to play online multiplayer.
To fill this gap we think Ryujinx , another Nintendo Switch emulator that, in addition to running the games in single player, also supports online features completely free of charge . Obviously, Ryujinx is in continuous development and still has some incompatibility problems that will be gradually solved, but it is a very valid alternative precisely because it allows you to play online too.
In this guide we will help you to install and configure it so you can enjoy it to the fullest.
DISCLAIMER - OkayGotcha assumes no responsibility in case of non-compliant use of this guide. The emulators are fully legitimate only if the user physically owns the game from which he can obtain the files necessary for the emulation.
Before starting, we consider it appropriate to make a couple of important premises :
- It is highly recommended to have a PC compatible controller in order to comfortably use all key combinations in games.
- This guide was written based on Windows 10, so settings names or some steps may differ for other supported operating systems.
1 - Download the latest drivers for your graphics card
- NVIDIA : by clicking on this link or through the GeForce Experience application.
- AMD : by clicking on this link or through the Auto-Detect Tool application (downloadable from the same address).
2 - Download and install Ryujinx
- At the top select File → Open Ryujinx Folder .
- Open system and drag in the required file. If you can't find it, refer to the last sentence of the guide for information .
- Restart the software: if you have done everything correctly, the warning message will no longer appear.
3 - Installing the latest Switch firmware
- Tools menu → Install Firmware → Install a firmware from a directory .
- Select the folder you just extracted and then Open .
- At the next prompt, click Yes . To verify the actual firmware installation, check the version at the bottom right of Ryujinx next to System Version .
- Close and restart the software.
