This Repo explains how to install the Yuzu Switch Emulator without a Switch on a Windows PC
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
First you will need the Yuzu-Installer.
Open it, and let it do its own stuff and be sure to have it like this.
After its done just press Exit and search for yuzu in your Windows Search Bar.
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
Needed-Files
Press Windows + R and type %appdata%\yuzu and the press Enter and Explorer should pop up
Create a folder called "keys" and copy the key you got from here 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 and click yes if it wants to override any files
Settings
For Settins 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
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 (its easier for Xbox but for you PS4 and Keyboard Users i have a graphic for yo found here) After your done press Okay and continue to the Next Step.
Games
Download any ROM you want from any ROM Website you like.
I recommend this nifty neat pastebin by Sineater here
Sites like GameWII or any other do it too.
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.
Now the Game should be in the List. Next is do what i do
Aditional
GameUpdates
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
For me it was already installed but it should then Show under Addons that you have it Installed
GetKeys
To get Keys easily just go to this Subreddit and look for posts with prod.keys Then just paste their code into a decoder and then paste the outcome into prod.keys
Goodbye
