I am not the OP of this post:

An easy and quick setup for emulating Nintendo Switch games on PC (on Windows and Linux systems). Keep in mind that accurate Switch emulation requires a fairly good CPU. I also recommend using an adblocker for this guide.

Setup Yuzu Emulator

  1. Install Yuzu Emulator
  1. Install the Keys
  • Download the .key files here: KEYS
  • Open your Yuzu installation folder and move the two .key files to /Yuzu/Keys
  1. Setup your games folder
  • Create a folder for your Switch games
  • Open Yuzu Emulator, double click to add a games folder and select the folder you created.
  1. Setup input emulation
  • Open Yuzu>Emulation>Configure>Controls
  • Select your preferred input device, the emulated controller, and assign a key to each button on the emulated controller, then press save.
  1. Graphics settings
  • The default graphics settings should work well enough
  • If you’re having issues with a specific game try switching between Vulkan and Opengl
  • If you’re facing performance issues, make sure asynchronous GPU emulation and shader building are enabled. You can also try changing the cpu and graphics accuracy.

Download Games

  1. You can download Nintendo Switch game files from Ziperto
  1. Extract the files
  • If you’re on Windows, you can use 7zip to extract multiple .rar files.
  1. Move them to your games folder

Alternatively

You can alternatively just download a repack from Fitgirl’s small switch library, which has everything setup already. I only recommend this if there’s only one switch game you want to play, and you’re on Windows 10.

Issues

  1. Check Yuzu’s game compatibility list
  2. You can leave a comment, make a post or send me a message if you have an issue.

Can we have more resources with the firmware and nand? I believe this is needed to play mario kart 8 deluxe https://github.com/THZoria/NX_Firmware

Ill leave your comment for resource purposes. But for that game i believe if you download it from Fitgirl, it should be pre setup with all needed files for simple click and play.

Keys download link is already broken. Can we link to the 128bitbay page? Or would that not be allowed? I mean this one: https://rentry.org/128bbkeys
