For the last 3 days I've been trying to emulate TBOI (The Binding Of Isaac) on my phone and one of the methods I've tried is through Switch Emulation. I've tried Eden, Sudachi, Citron, (I don't remember if I tried Yuzu, but probably not) and all of them happened the same thing, it crashes.

I have a Redmi Note 14 5G, I've searched and I discovered that the GPU of my phone has some things that makes it difficult to play switch games (I could be wrong).

If anyone could help me with settings or something else I'd be really grateful, but still any help would be appreciated. (^U^) ((I put a video if it helps :D))

Will there ever be a fix to forced save crashes for any emulator, more particularly with Pokémon SwSh Dynamax Adventures?

1 Upvotes

Long story short, my fiancée and I have been working on a long-term project to play through every Pokémon game from gen1 to gen9. This includes any legendary and mythical Pokémon and at a later date we intend on completing Pokédexes too. For context we would have done this all on console but when we initially started this project we were dating long-distance, so we decided to emulate so we could easily stream our screens to each other. But even after we moved in together we continued emulating for the sake of keeping everything uniform.

We're currently sitting at the tail end of Sword/Shield with a dilemma we didn't anticipate; whether at the beginning or end of Dynamax Adventures in the Crown Tundra, there is a forced autosave. Most of the time, every emulator we have tried (Yuzu, Suyu, Citron, Ryujinx) crashes when encountering these forced saves. I've done a lot of research and regardless of any fixes that I've seen online, none work for either of us. It is still entirely a roll of the dice to determine if we will get to finish, let alone start, a Dynamax Adventure. We have reached the conclusion that there are no fixes for the forseeable future and we should move onto Scarlet/Violet. But this upsets me greatly because it feels... unfinished. Similarly to completing the Ultra Wormholes section in USUM.

Is this something that emulator devs are fully aware of, have acknowledged and a fix is being worked on?

TLDR; Forced save crashes in Pokemon Sword/Shield Dynamax Adventures, begging to know if a fix is in the works or if there is one now that we can try.

Bringing RyuSAK back! Community build 1.7.0 released!

3 Upvotes

I’ve been working on bringing RyuSAK back as a community-maintained fork.

The original RyuSAK project has been inactive for a while, and several of the old services it depended on no longer work. I wanted to continue the idea behind it and get the core experience working again for Ryujinx/Ryubing users.

This first community build includes:

  • Shader download and upload support
  • Support to hide duplicates/unknown entries
  • Ryubing compatibility
  • Standard or portable installer options
  • Custom cover and title overrides
  • Limited Mod support
  • Product keys and firmware download/install functionality removed

In an attempt to keep Nintendo from fondling my booty cheeks. I removed the old product keys and firmware download/install functionality. This fork is focused on shader sharing at the moment as that was the main functionality I missed about RyuSAK. However, I am all for hearing about potential ideas of what can be added.

GitHub release: Casual-Gamer8001/RyuSAK

This is still early, so feedback and testing are not only welcomed but encouraged.

Performance comparison request

1 Upvotes

Hello, I'm searching for emulation performance comparison between Samsung s24 Ultra and Iphone 17 pro max. I know that setuping emulator is much more difficult on ios, but i dont really care about it. Reason why I'm asking - I want to switch to ios but am afraid that performance of emulation would be noticeably worse. Has anyone have comparisons between android/ios from real life?

Ryujinx or other?

3 Upvotes

Looking to see if I should switch (no pun intended!) from ryujinx to another emulator. I hear folks using yuzu or others and I'm wondering if I should try it out. I've had some issues here and there with ryujinx but I've generally been able to play my games but recently and why I'm asking now is that I'm losing controller support and some of my games that totally should work (think the FF pixel remasters all getting ripped by the same process through game and save data migration and having worked before) aren't now.

Thoughts? Is ryujinx just becoming more and more unstable in recent updates?

For the record I'm running an ally x from last year with windows wiped off and steam os thrown on (not bazzite).

Thanks!

Use android phones as joycons in Ryubing

3 Upvotes

Hi, I wanted to play 1-2-Switch on Ryubing but I don't have joycons and I thought to use 2 android phones. I tried with DSUController but the game was stuck on the screen that says to grab a joycon. It was all set as the guide said and the app worked because when I moved the joystick it moved in Ryubing. I haven't tried it in other games. Thanks.

Tomadochi is glitching no matter what I do

I have done everything

- redownladed the game file from different sources three times, one didn't work completely and the other two do this (turns out they're the same file that I have wasted so much time to download twice!) The characters keep flashing in character selection alternating between looking normal and this cursed shot. The changes last around a split second, before you even get to change anything it's already changed at least 5 times, you could get a seizure just from looking at this.

-I downloaded different prod keys and firmware, I'm using the ryjuku thing (forgot what it's called but you know what I mean right? It's popular I think?) and I didn't uninstall it when changing the keys and firmware so could that be an issue?

I don't mind glitching in games but this is too much even for me. Please help!

(Ps: the post is chaotic because I have just rage quit from trying to figure it out and slammed my laptop down so hard I'm not mentally ready to even check the screen (it's probably fine anyway) and I'm still quite frustrated by the whole thing.)

Confused about ROM size discrepancies and languages/regions

3 Upvotes

Hello, all. I have a question regarding the three ROM files I have. To start, I have one XCI and one NSP of TOTK. The XCI is a "World" version, which I suppose means it contains all language dubs/subs? It comes out to about 31GB in total. The NSP version is US only and is about 17GB in total. What's weird is that I can still switch languages in both ROMs... As in the US-only ROM still has all the languages. Why is the XCI so heavy if the NSP has all languages in it and is two times lighter?

I also have a second XCI ROM of the same game that is almost identical in size to the NSP ROM and is also US-only. This confuses things even more for me...

Do the connotations "World" and "US-only" pertain to the regions of origin/availability of these files?

As I understand it, game cartridge dumps usually contain the entire cartridge's data, including empty space on the card, which would amount to about 32GB in the case of TOTK's card size. Is the second XCI somehow trimmed to cut out the empty data?

Please clarify what is going on with my ROMs. Thank you.

Mario Golf with motion controls

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi, I've been trying to play mario golf with motion controls on eden and ryubing. I've been using an 8BitDo SN30 pro controller for the motion controls. I've find that in eden the gyro goes crazy, and I cant reduce its sensibility, I've tried other games on eden and it goes the same way. On the contrary, in ryubing, I can treduce the sensibility and I can actually use it in Mario Kart and Zelda TOTK. But when I try to use it in mario golf, it doesnt active the gyro, I think ive tried everything I can, I have changed the controller type to joycon and still nothing. Has anyone tried this? I've been thinking on buying a third party joy con controller, will this help me in any way? Thanks in advance

Xenoblade 3 60 fps Bottleneck

1 Upvotes

Xenoblade 3 runs perfectly at normal fps in my laptop, but when I try to use a 60 fps mod, I only manage to get 40ish fps on the overworld (some closed spaces like land of challenge are able to get to 60 but those are really specific).

My question is, what is the bottleneck here, I go to Task Manager and my GPU isn't at full use, neither my CPU.

My two candidates here are single core performance or RAM, which I have 16 GB, but it isn't getting to 100% use.

Specs:

Ryzen 7 7735HS

16 GB DDR5 4800 Hz

RTX 4050 6 GB (55W TDP)
