Ryujinx

Experimental Switch emulator written in C#

Don't expect much from this. Some homebrew apps work, Puyo Puyo Tetris shows the intro logo (sometimes), and a handful of games boot / work; but that's about it for now. Contributions are always welcome.

Building

To build this emulator, you will need the .NET Core 2.1 (RC1) (or higher) SDK. https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/ In release builds, memory checks are disabled to improve performances.

Or just drag'n'drop the *.NRO / *.NSO or the game folder on the executable if you have a pre-build version.
