Once the dumping process is finished, press any button to return, and then select Reboot to bootloader/update.bin, which should take you back to Hekate.īoot into Hekate, then tap on Payloads. And once it’s booted, select FirmwareDump.te. If you’re gonna be using Ryujinx though, the system firmware is required no matter what game you play.īoot into Hekate, then tap on Payloads. If your game doesn’t need the system firmware, like ACNH, then you can skip this step. Some games, like MK8 Deluxe, need the system firmware to be played. Then drag nxdumptool.nro into the /switch/ folder. Insert your SD card into your computer, or open up FTPD.ĭrag Lockpick_RCM.bin and TegraExplorer.bin into the /bootloader/payloads/ folder.

If you’re building your PC specifically for emulation, strive a bit higher than the recommended but not higher than me so i can brag about my cool pc.

More accurate and less hacky, but at the cost of performance.

It should also be noted that neither currently support macOS, so if you’re on a mac system you’ll have to install Windows or Linux on it. If any LayeredFS mods are loaded for ACNH with yuzu, it can then take anywhere from 10 minutes to 10 hours for it to load. The yuzu team have improved ACNH compatibility to remove previous graphical issues (like fog appearing black), but LayeredFS is barely supported. Conversely, Ryujinx is more CPU intensive.

Yuzu doesn’t require you to have a top end device, so it’s more compatible with lower end computers. They also require you to have a modded switch, so follow my guide here if it’s not modded already. There are 2 emulators for the Switch, these being yuzu and Ryujinx. You might emulate to upscale your game to 4k, or you might use it as creating/loading mods is easier on it. Using an emulator for any game can be useful.
