Monster Hunter fans, here is something for you today. The team behind the Nintendo Switch emulator, Ryujinx, has released a brand new version that allows you to play the recently released demo of Monster Hunter Rise.
In case you weren’t aware of, Ryujinx features a special Local Wireless & LAN Mode that allows “Local Play” or “Local Wireless” to work across the internet with other Ryujinx users, as well as local-network play with Switch consoles on games that support LAN mode.
As the team noted, this latest update brings with it many improvements and bug fixes. It also brings a special performance tweak for the Monster Hunter Rise Demo that is not in the master build. Thus, PC gamers can play the Monster Hunter Rise Demo online with other Ryujinx users across the internet using the Local Play option.
You can download Ryujinx LDN2.1 from its Patreon page. This beta built is available to everyone.
From what we know so far, Capcom plans to bring Monster Hunter Rise to the PC after its Nintendo Switch release. Until then, though, you can play on your PC the Nintendo Switch Demo.
Have fun!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

In case anyone is wondering, it runs like total shxt on any hardware. 21-30 fps combined with massive stutter.
Emulator is still work in progress, and Rise is still new game. Its probably even tweaked on purpose to not work well with current emulators. Mario oddisey works 30 fps on my 10 years old potato
The game targets 30fps, so if it runs at 30fps, it’s running at full speed. There is currently no public 60fps mod for the game. As for stutter, you’ll need to build a shader cache, once you’ve done that, it runs pretty smoothly. Here’s a video of it running pretty much full speed. I’d classify this definitely as playable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d68u7IZK7dU
Yuzu runs “fine”, is a RAM muncher tho…specially under Vulkan.
OpenGL helps but you need at least 16gb of memory to play for more than an hour without issues or crashes. Gonna try Ryujinx and see how that goes.
