# Introduction
2020-06-10 07:47:13 -05:00
Hey, im Yukii 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.
2020-03-23 06:21:12 -05:00
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
2020-03-22 07:36:12 -05:00
# Guide
2020-03-22 08:33:32 -05:00
# Setup
2020-08-14 07:57:37 -05:00
First you will need [yuzu](https://pineappleea.github.io/).
2020-06-10 07:47:13 -05:00
Download it.
2020-08-14 07:57:37 -05:00
Open it in WinRar, 7ZIP idk and then move the contents in a folder and open the yuzu.exe.
2020-03-22 08:05:29 -05:00
2020-03-23 06:35:35 -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 06:35:35 -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 06:35:35 -05:00
Inside of yuzu click File -> Open yuzu folder.
2020-03-23 06:32:17 -05:00
This will open the yuzu configuration folder inside of explorer.
2020-03-22 08:32:48 -05:00
Create a folder called "keys" and copy the key you got from [here](https://github.com/emuworld/aio/blob/master/prod.keys) and paste it in the folder.
2020-03-22 08:05:29 -05:00
2020-03-22 08:33:32 -05:00
# Settings
2020-06-10 08:04:01 -05:00
For settings open yuzu up Emulation -> Configure -> Graphics, Select OpenGL and set it to Vulkan or OpenGL. (Vulkan seems to be a bit bad atm)
Then go to Controls and press Single Player yadiyadiyada and set it to something like 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.

2020-03-22 08:33:32 -05:00
# Games
2020-07-27 10:33:22 -05:00
Download any ROM you want from any ROM Website you like, or if your arent a Pirate from your Switch.
A Tutorial for that is below in
2020-08-14 07:57:37 -05:00
I recommend [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1SsD4PxVISvyeAkM07wD9rpHFs24K8Bi3?usp=drive_open), 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.
2020-03-23 06:35:35 -05:00
After that double-click into yuzu and select the folder you put your game folder in.
2020-03-22 08:32:48 -05:00

# BCATS
Whats a BCAT?
A BCAT is the way of Nintendo sending you Ingame Gifts.
On an Emulator this, obv, doesnt works as on a Switch, so Yuzu has its own way of giving you these.
To Enable this go in the menu and choose Boxcat. ![here](https://i.imgur.com/w6l3zlC.png)
2020-08-14 08:46:50 -05:00
<p> A list of all the stuff you can get can be found [here](https://yuzu-emu.org/help/feature/boxcat/)
2020-08-14 07:57:37 -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)
2020-08-14 08:47:23 -05:00
<p> Then move that IPS file into exefs_patches and delete the now empty folder.
2020-03-22 17:51:20 -05:00
Then rename exefs_patches into exefs.
2020-03-23 06:35:35 -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.
2020-03-23 06:21:12 -05:00
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.
2020-06-10 08:04:01 -05:00
You can completly skip these steps if you use mods from [here](https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu/wiki/Switch-Mods) or [here](https://yuzu-emu.org/game/)
