* ### Is Vulkan currently supported in Ryujinx?<br>
Yes! As of July 2022, Vulkan support is included in the main build of the emulator. On first-run, the emulator will pop up a message asking you if you'd like to use Vulkan or OpenGL. We recommend using Vulkan in all cases unless there is a Vulkan-specific bug in the game you're playing that is not present on OpenGL.

* ### Can I run Ryujinx on macOS?<br>
macOS support is currently very experimental. This is due to limited OpenGL support in macOS, which is something that is out of our control. When Vulkan is supported we may be able to make more progress here. For now, you are able to use Boot Camp to run the Windows version of Ryujinx.

* ### My game runs really slowly for me. What can I do to increase the FPS?<br>
Ryujinx is still in the early stages of development. Over time, new updates will gradually increase performance. For now, the biggest contributor to performance in Ryujinx is a fast, high clock-speed CPU. As for GPUs, a GTX 1050 or better should be perfectly adequate (at least in the long term) to play nearly any Nintendo Switch game.

* ### What should I do if Ryujinx is just showing a black screen?<br>
First, make sure that the game you are trying to run is actually supported and that your graphics card is capable of running it. Once you've done that, make sure that any external application that could affect the rendering is disabled. This includes things like the **MSI Afterburner** overlay, which puts an overlay on top of the emulator display window. Additionally, be sure your GPU driver settings are set to defaults for Ryujinx.

* ### How can I dump games?<br>
A hacked Nintendo Switch is needed to dump games, which you can learn how to do here: https://nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/.<br>
Once you have hacked your Switch, you can dump your games to get an XCI or NSP file with this homebrew: https://github.com/DarkMatterCore/nxdumptool/releases

* ### How do I install System Data Archives? Why are they needed?<br>
Some of our System Module implementations, such as time, require System Data Archives. You can get them by installing a Switch firmware from a game through our Firmware Installer, which can be found by clicking on the Install Firmware option in the Tools menu in the GUI.<br>
Alternatively, you can install them manually by mounting your nand partition using `HacDiskMount` and copying the content to `Ryujinx/bis/system`.
