With emulation, you don’t have to constantly swap out HDMI connections between your PC and your Switch (for those of us who prefer playing on a bigger screen)

Maybe you’re lazy like me - you only have one monitor, with only one HDMI output.

You can use your Xbox controller, your PlayStation controller, your Wii Remote/Nunchuk, maybe you can even plug in and configure a racing wheel for a good ol’ round of Mario Kart

Input configuration and customization - you can use a lot more controllers than just your Joycons or your Switch Pro pad.

You can play online multiplayer via Ryujinx’s LDN builds, without having to pay for a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.

With emulation, not only can the framerate be unlocked to 60 FPS via mods, but can support higher resolutions than 1080p, depending on how capable your hardware is For example, Zelda: Breath of the Wild is locked to 30 FPS.

To my knowledge, this is the best way I can describe the difference between Yuzu and Ryujinx: It’s “built from the ground up”, mostly in the C language, though apparently the developers have taken a lot of reference from Ryujinx’s source code. And if you can believe it, there’s a Switch emulator for Android called Skyline. It’s clear to me that the Nintendo Switch is a hot topic, and it only makes logical sense to follow up with how Nintendo Switch emulation has progressed since the months have gone by.Īs it stands, the current two emulators that we know of for desktop is Yuzu - developed by the same developers who worked on Citra, the 3DS emulator - and Ryujinx.
