# Introduction
2020-03-23 06:21:12 -05:00
Hey, im Akira and I'm writing you a guide on how to install Yuzu without having a Switch, since I discovered this is literally a pain in the ass.
I try to make it as easy as possible, but be sure to check this out if you need new keys, since I try to keep this always up-to-date! <3

# Guide
2020-03-22 08:33:32 -05:00
# Setup
2020-03-22 07:36:12 -05:00
First you will need the [Yuzu-Installer](https://github.com/yuzu-emu/liftinstall/releases/download/1.8/yuzu_install.exe).
2020-03-22 07:39:30 -05:00
Open it, and let it do its own stuff and be sure to have it like this.
2020-03-22 07:36:52 -05:00
![YuzuInstall](https://fuckedyour.doctor/jHMFQqDS.png?key=r2dUCnMvj8qhPR)
2020-03-22 07:36:12 -05:00
2020-03-23 06:21:12 -05:00
After it's done just press Exit and search for yuzu in your Windows searchbar.
2020-03-22 08:05:29 -05:00
![YuzuWeilPrime](https://sexin.church/dVZ1smTb.png?key=56adoSGTXNiWYu)
2020-03-23 06:21:12 -05:00
Yuzu will open and show this screen
2020-03-22 08:05:29 -05:00
![DuBistDoof](https://nuke.bayern/9RTatw4x.png?key=J7cFCPraHXStHb)
on there click Emulation -> Configure -> System -> Profile
2020-03-23 06:21:12 -05:00
Then press on Add and make a new profile, then close Yuzu
2020-03-22 08:05:29 -05:00
2020-03-22 08:33:32 -05:00
# Files
2020-03-23 06:32:17 -05:00
Inside of Yuzu click File -> Open yuzu folder.
This will open the yuzu configuration folder inside of explorer.
2020-03-22 08:32:48 -05:00
2020-03-23 06:21:12 -05:00
Create a folder called "keys" and copy the key you got from [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1i17XAjiwKLwml_9mzLQ4GF6RYidaCFcG?usp=sharing) and paste it in the folder.
Then go back out of the keys folder and paste the contents of the Switch firmware folder found [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1IRbdlscnDqxIZ04HPEQeod2zHM993Z1W?usp=sharing) and click yes if it wants to overwrite any files

2020-03-22 08:33:32 -05:00
# Settings
2020-03-23 06:21:12 -05:00
For settings open yuzu up Emulation -> Configure -> Graphics, Select OpenGL and set it to Vulkan.
Then go to Controls and press Single Player yadiyadiyada and set it to this
2020-03-22 08:32:48 -05:00
![Reeeeeeee](https://nuke.bayern/tQRi6Dco.png?key=TKvixrA2KWor0u)
2020-03-23 06:21:12 -05:00
Then Press Configure and set Player 1 to Pro Controller if you have a controller/keyboard and to Joycons if Joycons.
Press Configure and press the excat buttons on your controller (it's easier for Xbox but for you PS4 and keyboard users I have a graphic for yo found [here](https://compass-ssl.xboxlive.com/assets/c7/a1/c7a12fbe-af04-4a90-92f2-18338219c2aa.png?n=one-controller-front-l.png))
After you're done press Okay and continue to the next step.

# Games
2020-03-22 08:32:48 -05:00
Download any ROM you want from any ROM Website you like.
2020-03-22 08:45:59 -05:00
I recommend [Switch-XCI](https://switch-xci.com/), but any ROM Site does it.
2020-03-23 06:21:12 -05:00
After you got your File (can be .xci or .nsp) create a folder somewhere on your PC and in that folder create another folder for your game.
After that double-click into Yuzu and select the folder you put your game folder in.
2020-03-22 08:32:48 -05:00

2020-03-23 06:21:12 -05:00
Now the Game should be in the list. Next do what I do in the gif below
2020-03-22 08:32:48 -05:00

# GameUpdates
2020-03-22 08:32:48 -05:00
2020-03-23 06:21:12 -05:00
Download the update of your game or DLCs, usually as a .nsp.
Put it in your folder of the game, then open Yuzu. Do exactly as in there
2020-03-22 08:32:48 -05:00

2020-03-23 06:21:12 -05:00
For me it was already installed but it should then show under addons that you have it installed

# GetKeys
2020-03-22 08:32:48 -05:00
2020-03-23 06:21:12 -05:00
To get keys easily just go to [this Subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/YuzuPiracy/) and look for posts with prod.keys
Then just paste their code into a [decoder](https://www.base64decode.org/) and copy the keys and paste them in a newly created file called prod.keys
2020-03-22 07:36:12 -05:00
2020-03-22 17:51:20 -05:00
# Addons
2020-03-23 06:21:12 -05:00
Here ima show how to install mods.
It's pretty simple, we're gonna take the mod from [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/pokemon-mystery-dungeon-dx-60-fps-mod.559469/)
When you download the zip file you will have a folder called "exefs_patches".
2020-03-22 18:00:08 -05:00
Go inside that folder and in the other folder in there until you are at this file with an .IPS
2020-03-22 17:51:20 -05:00
![memememem](https://nuke.bayern/QTwbBtLy.png?key=GP1JZ3BylhCn9q)
Then move that IPS file into exefs_patches and delete the now empty folder.
Then rename exefs_patches into exefs.
2020-03-23 06:21:12 -05:00
Now open Yuzu and rightclick your game -> Open Mod Directory.
Create a new folder with any name you want and move the exefs folder into that, then restart Yuzu and you're done.
You now see your mod at compatibility.
2020-03-22 17:51:20 -05:00
- Additional Note here:
2020-03-23 06:21:12 -05:00
If you got any other names for the folder don't rename it to exefs.
2020-03-22 17:51:20 -05:00
Instead rename them to romfs or romfs_ext.
You can completly skip these steps if you use mods from [here](https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu/wiki/Switch-Mods)
