How to Build the Open‑Source Ryujinx Switch Emulator with .NET 7
This guide introduces Ryujinx, an open‑source Nintendo Switch emulator written in C#, outlines its development history and compatibility stats, and provides three clear steps—installing .NET 7 SDK, cloning the repo, and building the project—to get the emulator up and running.
Today we recommend the open‑source project Ryujinx, a Nintendo Switch emulator written in C# by gdkchan.
Ryujinx aims for high accuracy and performance, offers a user‑friendly interface, and has been under development since September 2017.
By November 2022 it had been tested on about 3,800 games, with over 3,600 passing the menu and roughly 3,200 considered playable; the compatibility list is available in the project.
Anyone can submit new test results or update existing entries by following the issue template.
To build the emulator yourself, follow three steps:
Step 1 : Install the x64 .NET 7.0 (or newer) SDK.
Step 2 : Clone the repository with git clone https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx or download the zip.
Step 3 : Open a command prompt in the project folder (Shift‑right‑click in Explorer) and run dotnet build -c Release -o Build. The built files appear in a new Build directory.
The Ryujinx system files are stored in the Ryujinx folder under the user’s home directory, accessible via the GUI’s “Open Ryujinx folder” menu.
