## Requirements ## Requirements
- **Switch Keys** - **Switch Keys**
Everything on the Switch is encrypted, so if you want to run anything else, other than homebrews, you have to dump them from your console.

- **Shared Fonts**
Some games draw text using fonts files, those are what is called Shared Fonts.
All you have to do is [Download](https://ryujinx.org/ryujinx_shared_fonts.zip) them and extract those files in `RyuFs\system\fonts`.
- **FFmpeg Dependencies** - **FFmpeg Dependencies**
Ryujinx has a basic implementation of `NVDEC` (video decoder used by the Switch's GPU). Ryujinx has a basic implementation of `NVDEC`, a video decoder used by the Switch's GPU. Many games include videos that use it, so you need to download [Zeranoe's FFmpeg Builds](http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/) for **Shared** linking and your computer's operating system. When it's done, extract the contents of the `bin` folder directly into your Ryujinx folder.

Some of our System Modules implementation (like time) require [System Data Archives](https://switchbrew.org/wiki/Title_list#System_Data_Archives). Some of our System Module implementations, like `time`, require [System Data Archives](https://switchbrew.org/wiki/Title_list#System_Data_Archives). You can install them by mounting your nand partition using [HacDiskMount](https://switchtools.sshnuke.net/) and copying the content to `RyuFs/nand/system`.

- **Executables** - **Executables**
Ryujinx is able to run games or homebrews. Ryujinx is able to run both official games and homebrew.
You need a hacked Switch to dump them ([Hack Guide](https://switch.hacks.guide/)).
You need to dump your own games with [NxDumpTool](https://github.com/DarkMatterCore/nxdumptool) for XCI dump or [SwitchSDTool](https://github.com/CaitSith2/SwitchSDTool) for NSP dump. Homebrew is available on many websites, such as the [Switch Appstore](https://www.switchbru.com/appstore/).
You can find homebrew on different related websites or on the [Switch Appstore](https://www.switchbru.com/appstore/).
A hacked Switch is needed to dump games, which you can learn how to do [here](https://nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/). Once you've hacked your Switch, you need to dump your own games with [NxDumpTool](https://github.com/DarkMatterCore/nxdumptool) to get an XCI dump or [SwitchSDTool](https://github.com/CaitSith2/SwitchSDTool) to get an NSP dump.
## Features ## Features
- **Audio** - **Audio**
Everything for audio is partially supported. We currently use a C# wrapper for [libsoundio](http://libsound.io/) and we support [OpenAL](https://openal.org/downloads/OpenAL11CoreSDK.zip) (installation needed) too as a fallback. Our current Opus implementation is pretty incomplete. Everything for audio is partially supported.

- **CPU** - **CPU**
The CPU emulator emulates an ARMv8 CPU, and only the new 64-bits ARMv8 instructions are implemented (with a few instructions still missing). It translates the ARM code to a custom IR and then it performs a few optimizations and turns that into x86 code. The CPU emulator, ARMeilleure, emulates an ARMv8 CPU, and currently only has support for the new 64-bit ARMv8 instructions (with a few instructions still missing). It translates the ARM code to a custom IR, performs a few optimizations, and turns that into x86 code. To handle that, we use our own JIT called ARMeilleure, which uses the custom IR and compiles the code to x86.

ChocolArm is the old ARM emulator, is being replaced by ARMeilleure (It can still be enabled inside the configuration menu/file) and it works by translating the ARM code to .NET IL. The runtime JIT then compiles that to the platform CPU code. On .NET Core, the JIT is called RyuJIT (hence the project name, Ryujinx).

- **GPU** - **GPU**
The GPU emulator emulates the Switch Maxwell GPU, using the OpenGL API (4.2 minimum) through a custom build of OpenTK. The GPU emulator emulates the Switch's Maxwell GPU using the OpenGL API (version 4.2 minimum) through a custom build of OpenTK.
- **Input** - **Input**
We currently have Keyboard, Mouse, Touch, and JoyCon input support (emulated through the keyboard) and some controllers too. You can set-up everything inside the configuration menu/file.

- **Configuration** - **Configuration**
The emulator has some options, like Dump shaders, Enabled/Disabled some Logging, Remap Controllers, Choose Controller, and more. You can set-up all of them through the graphical interface or manually through the Config File: `Config.json`. The emulator has settings for dumping shaders, enabling or disabling some logging, remapping controllers, and more. You can configure all of them through the graphical interface or manually through the config file, `Config.json`.

## Help ## Help
If you have homebrew that currently doesn't work within the emulator, you can contact us through our Discord with the compiled *.NRO / *.NSO (and source code if possible) and we'll take note of whatever is causing the app / game to not work, on the watch list and fix it at a later date.
