Back in January, we informed you about a Nintendo Switch experimental emulator from the team behind CEMU (Nintento WiiU emulator) and Citra (Nintendo 3DS emulator), called yuzu. However, it appears that there is a new kid in town. RyujiNX is another Nintendo Switch emulator that can already boot some commercial games.
According to its description, RyujiNX is a Nintendo Switch Emulator programmed in C#, aiming to offer good performance, a friendly interface, and consistent builds. Do note that while the emulator can boot some games, it cannot play them. Both Cave Story and Puyo Puyo Tetris that are showcased below are unplayable and really laggy.
Obviously you should not expect triple-A Nintendo Switch games to be playable anytime soon, however it’s pretty cool that an emulator can already boot some games.
Those interested can download the emulator from here, though the team notes that the emulator has no stable builds as of right now.
Enjoy!

anyone have any guesses what kinda cpu/gpu would be to run this once commercial games hit? guessing a lil higher than cemu?
Anything more powerful than a Nintendo console. A pocket calculator, for instance.
Why Nintendo console always easy to emulate?? compared to Xbox..
documentation on the console is easier to obtain, at least that was a big problem for xbox emulators. Also, dolphin for the wii took quite some time to develop, and people developing Cemu are working on it like a full time job.
Not all Nintendo consoles have been “easy” to emulate. The N64 was quite a challenge, as I recall it. Wii U hasn’t exactly been a walk in the park either.
On a semi-related note, does anybody here know if there’s a Nintendo Virtual Boy emulator available for PC VR platforms?

Sweet! I just downloaded it. Comments on the Oculus forums are very complimentary of it. Thank you.
Enjoy the migraine if it actually works. I don’t know what they were thinking with that thing a friend of mine has one.
I have one, too. The stories of migraines may be true to some extent for some people but, in common with many such things on the internet, it’s greatly exaggerated. Urban myths tend to spread based on ignorance.
because xbox 360 guest OS runs in fully virtualized environment hosted on 3core/6thread PPC64 cpu.

Yes, with competition, comes progress. Yuzu vs RyukjiNX
Calling it now, within 2020, we will be seeing emulated playable Switch games in our PC.
Yup, pretty much two years if not sooner.
Since Citra start run in 20-30 fps after 2-3 years.
Maybe Yusu or RyujiNX will broke a new record and will emulate properly within 1-2 years.
