Progress Report January 2024
February is here which must mean that January has slid by once again. While this time of year isn’t usually so hot for those twitter-melting AAA games, we all sometimes need less action packed schedules. Ubisoft proved they still have some ability to make a compelling video game, and potential game of the year: Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, proves that just about any idea can make it!Opinions on games aside, it’s time for the usual agenda.As we’ve perhaps highlighted before, macOS as a platform is a little bit of a nightmare as far as 3D graphi...
Progress Report November & December 2023
Happy New Year!We hope everyone is having a great start to 2024 and that you’re all rejuvenated for another year of listening to these (mostly) regular rambles. We’ve got a fair bit to go through including the usual sprinkling of graphical fixes, a nice meaty section that users of battery-powered devices will want to read and, of course, our usual yearly wrap up on a few different topics, including compatibility and performance across 2023.We’ll start out with a certified retro title in Monster Hunter Rise (MHR). Released in the antiquate...
Progress Report October 2023
Had your fill of candy, sweets, or whatever your localized version of ‘edible items that are actually quite bad for you but they taste great’? We hope so, because the end of a month signals not only the start of the next, but also another progress report from yours truly.In what was quite possibly the most spooky game launch of all time, Super Mario Wonder graced both our Switches and our PCs on exactly the same date… Curious how that keeps happening.Either way let’s fill our October goody bags with just a few more sweet treats!The firs...
Progress Report September 2023
Gather once more at the three-quarter mark, for beyond this point, your days become dark.September was an unusually quiet month for our friends publishing games with the only games of note being a rather underwhelming Baten Kaitos remaster, alongside a questionable Mortal Kombat 1. At least the latter managed to bring some comedy to its otherwise haunting visuals.Beyond those we’ve got stuff to chat about from all over the project from LDN, Mac improvements and a boat load of service work.Hop on down.Our first stop is at the port of Delfino, ...
Progress Report July & August 2023
Miss us? Summer only lasts so long and some of us need our holidays.2023 continued to deliver swathes of new switch titles with Pikmin 4 and a remast-... what? It’s a port? Well if you say so… Ahem, a re-release of Rockstar’s western classic: Red Dead Redemption. A game which has been killing emulators since before some of our readers could read. Luckily we’re, as the kids say, built different.We’ve got a good one cooked up so let’s get to it.We’ll start with some good old OpenGL games: Wreckfest and 20XX; the latter not to be con...
Progress Report June 2023
Wooooooahhh we’re half-way thereeee… 🎶No matter how the year has gone so far, the midpoint always feels weird. Wasn’t it like January a couple weeks ago? Compared to May, while no genre defining blockbusters graced us with their presence. Pikmin fans had a demo to sink their teeth into, a new entry: Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE from the development team of Danganronpa and a few other titles that we’re sure folk who are more cultured in video games than us are aware of. Both titles mentioned above also had day 1 compatibility,...
Progress Report May 2023
May we offer you a progress report this fine month?Tears were shed, monarchies were restored, and we’ve seen a fully-functional, multi-stage detachable dropship, complete with cruise missile systems and meat grill in a Zelda game. Truly, nature is healing. If you hadn’t already guessed, this month has been almost entirely monopolized by that pesky blonde princess, but fear not, we did find time between play-sessions to work on an avalanche of changes, fixes and improvements.We’ll save a little something special for the end, but for now, l...
Progress Report April 2023
Hello folks, it’s your favorite time of the month once again. No need to say anything, we know it’s true!Plenty happened in April which you’ll soon discover below, but before that let’s take a look through the current patreon goals.We’d like to reiterate once again that any features listed below will eventually be worked on, regardless of the goal being met. It would simply become a priority as soon as the incentive amount was sustained. This, of course, isn’t true for the full-time development goals which, by nature, are dependent ...
Progress Report March 2023
We’re cruising our way into the second quarter of 2023 and finally got news on that new Zelda game everyone is so angsty about; did the presentation meet everyone’s expectations? All of us are incredibly excited to see what Nintendo has in store for this oddly familiar-looking adventure, and of course, to see what challenges it’ll bring Ryujinx. We hope you all had a great month, and that you appreciate this slightly shorter progress report than usual! But first, let’s take a look at our remaining patreon goals.We’d like to reiterate ...
Progress Report February 2023
Bye-bye February, you won’t be missed. Does anyone actually like it? Short, cold and dark. Maybe if you live in an upside down part of the world you disagree, but you’d still be wrong!February marked a couple of exciting events in the lives of Nintendo fans: a Direct, a Pokémon Presents, and a stealth drop of a certified classic; thus proving that if you need to delay a game, simply release a remaster of the old one to plug the gap. Luckily Metroid didn’t offer too much resistance to emulation but we’ll talk about that later. First on ...
Progress Report January 2023
Gather back round the fire for another month. This time you can tell us all about your resolutions, both ongoing and already failed.Compared to 2022 with Legends Arceus, January was far less hectic. Fire Emblem: Engage being playable on day 1 meant that there wasn’t a need for developers to leave whatever they were currently working on to handle damage control. We’re trying to build our day 1 streak back up and Engage will be a fine addition to that collection!Before we wander further, take a look at our patreon goals below. We’d like to ...
Progress Report December 2022
Happy New Year!We hope you all had a festive end to a truly incredible year. So much ground has been covered each and every month of 2022, and December wasn’t about to break that trend. Performance improvements, fewer black-screening games and some upstreaming work for macOS littered the thirty-one day span, with more than just rampant consumerism for all to enjoy.So strap yourselves in for the finishing touches of 2022, laid out by a witty, engaging and, if another word were to be used, handsome writer report. Before all that though: let’s...
Progress Report November 2022
Wow. What a month. November is not typically this eventful, but sometimes a little spice is exactly what the Doctor ordered.LDN being introduced to the number 3, macOS meeting a graphically demanding program, and Ryujinx facing its final adversary… the cardinal direction, North!All-in-all we’ve had a busy month, with two major feature releases and that pesky company GameFreak deciding to push out those new indie games. What were they called? Red and Blue? Oh sorry, Scarlet & Violet. It’s getting hard to tell the difference between new and...

Progress Report October 2022
Just like the nine months before it; October has slid gently into the rearview mirror and, by our estimates, shouldn’t be closer than it appears for at least another year.NieR, Persona, Bayonetta, and a new contender for the coveted “why did this get a sequel?” award: Mario + Rabbids! While that last one is a bit of a horror story as far as emulating the damn thing goes, we’re thrilled with just how great most new titles ran this month with almost no or minimal fixes from the development team. Less time fixing jank means more time in th...
Progress Report September 2022
September's report? You’re trying to tell me we just hit the 75% mark on the year? Madness.This month marked not only the turn from summer to autumn and some major world events but, most importantly of course, the launch of Splatoon 3. With the holiday season fast approaching, that means game releases, game releases and…you guessed it, game releases. The characteristic eye-twitches that upcoming Pokémon games always bring to our development team are just taking root and Bayonetta hopefully won’t step on us at launch!Before we dive in...
Progress Report August 2022
Another month rolls by the wayside and that means another progress report from your favorite Nintendo Switch emulator, nay, favorite piece of software ever developed. It’s hard work being this humble let us tell you.To dispense with the pleasantries, what can you expect to read below? We’ve got the usual rolling improvements to our GPU, CPU, Kernel and Services emulation, a heck tonne of code-cleanup and finally a new LDN release.Before all that let us talk to you about our sponsor. You guys!Patreon Goals:ARB Shaders - Goal reached in April...
LDN 2.5: Vulkan Update, faster than ever!
LDN 2.5 has arrived!Includes a Vulkan graphics backend which improves performance and compatibility drastically on AMD and Intel graphics cards running on Windows, plus all GPU vendors will enjoy drastically reduced shader compilation stuttering!This version also includes all the enhancements and changes to the main Ryujinx build since November 2021, when LDN was last updated. There are too many to list here, but these are the most relevant fixes: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe v2.1.0 is now compatible with local wireless. Keep in mind this game requires ...
Progress Report July 2022
What, a year huh? Captain, it’s only July.So much happened in July that it felt infinitely longer than a measly 31 days. A new Xenoblade, Digimon (yep all 5 of you), patreon goals finally coming to fruition; we truly had a month to remember. So what do we have in store for this progress report? We’ve got a regular rundown of all the changes, a bit of a discussion on AMD (seems like a segment lately) and also, not to ignore the elephant, a big sign asking you to read the dedicated Vulkan blog post!No point delaying further so before we start...
Progress Report June 2022
Half-way through 2022 already and time sure flies when we have some good games to play! Speaking of games, some real bangers were released this month and we’re happy to say that most of them work, either out of the box or with some small workarounds. Despite coming from Koei Tecmo (a name all emulator developers fear), Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, both the demo and full-game, ran flawlessly on Day 1 and only Mario Strikers stole our thunder!We try not to advertise games being playable if a mod is required to bypass the intro, but the op...
Progress Report May 2022
What brings together retro gaming, modding tools and .NET UI creation frameworks? If you answered “the Ryujinx May Progress Report” then give yourself a medal; if not then you owe us a box of cookies. Some nice ones!Before we get down to business and into the meat of the changes that were implemented in May, give our patreon goals a look:Patreon Goals:Vulkan GPU Backend - still in progress.A public test build is delivered and is available here!ARB Shaders - Goal reached in April 2021.Work is ongoing alongside Vulkan, please wait a little wh...
Progress Report April 2022
April… a month deriving from the Latin word ‘aperire’ or ‘to open’. How does this relate to Switch emulation? You can probably think of a few metaphors, but honestly I just thought it sounded kinda interesting. This month we’re covering some major changes and also a pretty meaty section on the recent progress to the Vulkan backend, which was absent last month.Before all that though, check out our patreon goals and progress toward them:Patreon Goals:Amiibo EmulationMerged into the main build in March 2021.While compatibility is close...
Progress Report March 2022
Here we are once more at the end of Q1 and progressing steadily toward the halfway mark of 2022! This month saw improvements to almost every aspect of Ryujinx, a new console is loose which got the emulation community all of a flutter and some killer new releases that, guess what, ran on day one!Before all that though check out our patreon goals and progress toward them:Patreon Goals:Amiibo EmulationMerged into the main build in March 2021.While compatibility is close to being perfect, there are still some improvements to come for Amiibo which c...
Progress Report February 2022
February has gone and left us all too soon once again. Who thought that 28 days was enough to make it a worthwhile month?But rest assured what the month lacked in days our development team more than paid back in the avalanche of improvements, fixes, additions and ongoing project work!Patreon Goals:Amiibo Emulation - merged into the main build in March 2021.While compatibility is close to being perfect, there are still some improvements to come for Amiibo which can be tracked on the associated Github issue here: https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujin...
Progress Report January 2022
New year, new month, and new progress! We hope everyone has been enjoying the new year as much as we have. 2022 has been quite the adventure already with a brand new main series Pokémon title Pokémon Legends Arceus. Alongside that big release we’ve been working hard with the amount of GPU updates and bug fixes we’ve been able to do this month.Patreon Goals:Amiibo Emulation - merged into the main build in March 2021.While compatibility is close to being perfect, there are still some improvements to come for Amiibo which can be tracked on t...
