# Introduction
Hey, im Akira and im 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

# 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
2020-03-22 08:05:29 -05:00
After its done just press Exit and search for yuzu in your Windows Search Bar.
![YuzuWeilPrime ](https://sexin.church/dVZ1smTb.png?key=56adoSGTXNiWYu )
Yuzu will open and show this Screen
![DuBistDoof ](https://nuke.bayern/9RTatw4x.png?key=J7cFCPraHXStHb )
on there click Emulation -> Configure -> System -> Profile
Then press on Add and make a new Profile, then close Yuzu

2020-03-22 08:32:48 -05:00
2020-03-22 08:05:29 -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 ) Section and paste it in the Foler.
Then go back out of the keys Folder and paste the Contents of the Switch Fimware Folder found [here ](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1SwobY3yIATNeFc-HC3z_iJKhkG-9pLR6?usp=sharing ) and click yes if it wants to override any files

# 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.
2020-03-22 08:32:48 -05:00
After you got your File (can be .ncp, .xci and .nsp) make a Folder somewhere on your PC and in that folder make a folder for your Game.
After that Double-Click into Yuzu and select the Folder you put your Game Folder in.
![UwU ](https://sexin.church/7CT7o3Sr.png?key=XuV6NAPCK1ZTH0 )
Now the Game should be in the List. Next is do what i do
![GIFFFFFFFFFF ](https://fuckedyour.doctor/DVR1L6Fo.gif?key=2I5FdMRG7pL8HA )
# Aditional
2020-03-22 08:33:32 -05:00
# GameUpdates
2020-03-22 08:32:48 -05:00
Download the Update of your Game or DLC´ s as again .ncp, .xci ir .nps.
Put it in your Folder of the Game, then open Yuzu. Do excatly as in there
![rererere ](https://i.uwu.plus/hNmEGB8V.gif?key=gGAX37XVMM7o1q )
For me it was already installed but it should then Show under Addons that you have it Installed
2020-03-22 08:33:32 -05:00
# GetKeys
2020-03-22 08:32:48 -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 then paste the outcome into prod.keys
2020-03-22 07:36:12 -05:00
2020-03-22 17:51:20 -05:00
# Addons
Here ima show how to install Mods.
Its pretty simple, were 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 foler 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.
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 your done.
You now see your Mod at Compatability.
- Additional Note here:
If you got any other names for the folder rename the folder not to exefs.
Instead rename them to romfs or romfs_ext.
2020-03-22 17:57:43 -05:00
You can completly skip these steps if you use mods from [here ](https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu/wiki/Switch-Mods )
