|
||||
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.
|
||||
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
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
First you will need [yuzu](https://pineappleea.github.io/).
|
||||
Download it.
|
||||
Open it in WinRar, 7ZIP idk and then move the contents in a folder and open the yuzu.exe.
|
||||
|
||||
yuzu will open and show this screen
|
||||
|
||||
on there click Emulation -> Configure -> System -> Profile
|
||||
yuzu will open and show this screen.
|
||||
|
||||
On there click Emulation -> Configure -> System -> Profile
|
||||
Then press on Add and make a new profile, then close yuzu
|
||||
|
||||
# Files
|
||||
## Files
|
||||
Inside of yuzu click File -> Open yuzu folder.
|
||||
This will open the yuzu configuration folder inside of explorer.
|
||||
|
||||
Create a folder called "keys" and copy the key you got from [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/emuworld/aio/master/prod.keys) and paste it in the folder as a file called `prod.keys`.
|
||||
|
||||
# Settings
|
||||
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)
|
||||
## Settings
|
||||
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)~~ With the new improvements since this guide came out, Vulkan is now a viable option!
|
||||
Then go to Controls and press Single Player yadiyadiyada and set it to something like this
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
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
|
||||
I recommend [here](https://gamewii.net/category/switch/), but any ROM Site does it.
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Now the game should be in the list. Next do what I do in the gif below
|
||||

|
||||
## Games
|
||||
Download any ROM you want from any ROM Website you like, or if your arent a pirate, dump it from your Switch.
|
||||
A Tutorial for that which I recommend is [this](https://gamewii.net/category/switch/), but any ROM Site does it.

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.

* So here goes the way to get Games without Piracy!
|

I found a very good guide that can be found [here](https://wiki.no-intro.org/index.php?title=Nintendo_Switch_Dumping_Guide)
|
||||
Sorry just have no Homebrewed Switch to try it atm.
|
||||
When you got the XCI, just do the same as in the Gif Above

# GameUpdates
|
||||
## Game-Updates
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
|
||||
For me it was already installed but it should then show under addons that you have it installed
|
||||
Put it in your folder of the game, then open yuzu. To install it, follow the steps in this GIF.
|
||||
|
||||
If it says that it is already installed, your ROM likely already has that DLC/Update preinstalled, don't worry, if it breaks the game, just follow the steps in the next section.
|
||||
|
||||
## Uninstalling-Game-Updates
|
||||
|
||||
Open yuzu, and find the game that has an update that you want to uninstall.
|
||||
Then follow the steps of the GIF below.
|
||||
|
||||
If it says that there are no updates to uninstall, that means exactly what it says, there are no preinstalled updates, and no manually user-installed updates either.

AMD:

|

- IDK need some help here maybe
|
||||
- Use Vulkan for everything you can, OpenGL is slow as all heck on AMD due to their bad OpenGL code.
|
||||
|
||||
Intel:
|
||||
|
||||
- Once again Vulkan is better, OpenGL is bad on here too.

## Log-files
|
||||
|
||||
- Windows: Open the Run prompt (Windows Key + R) and type this in, "%appdata%\yuzu" then head to the logs directory
|
||||
- MacOS: How about waiting until yuzu comes out on MacOS.......
|
||||
- Linux: Open your file manager of choice, make sure that Show Hidden Files is ENABLED, and head to the following directory, "/home/YourUsername/.local/share/yuzu" and open the logs directory.

# 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. 
|
||||
<p> A list of all the stuff you can get can be found [here](https://yuzu-emu.org/help/feature/boxcat/)
|
||||
It stands for BoxCat and it's Nintendo's sending you Ingame Gifts.
|
||||
On an Emulator this, obv, doesn't work like it would on a Switch, due to the emulator not connecting to Nintendo's servers.
|
||||
To work around this, Yuzu has its own way of giving you these.
|
||||
To easiernable this go in the menu and choose Boxcat.

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".
|
||||
It's pretty simple, as an example, 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".
|
||||
Go inside that folder and in the other folder in there until you are at this file with an .IPS
|
||||
|
||||
<p> 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 you're done.
|
||||
|
||||
Then move that IPS file into exefs_patches and delete the now empty folder, then rename exefs_patches into exefs.
|
||||
Now open yuzu and right click your game -> Open Mod Directory.
|
||||
Create a new folder with the name that you want for the patch (you can name it anything you want).
|
||||
Then move the exefs folder into the folder that you just made, then restart yuzu and you're done.
|
||||
You now see your mod at compatibility.
|
||||
- Additional Note here:
|
||||
If you got any other names for the folder don't rename it to exefs.
|
||||
Instead rename them to romfs or romfs_ext.
|
||||
