Wow, I forgot this community existed lol.

So from what I know Eden and Ryubing are still in development and working great. I have been using both (mostly Eden though) on Steam Deck for my emulated games. Eden has a great Discord community and the main developer is very friendly and helpful, can’t say the same about Ryubing’s community. Ryubing’s Discord has a lot of hostility towards people and will immediately permanently ban you if you mention Steam Deck. As if they are pretending to be some high-ground and ‘’better than piracy’’ meanwhile everyone knows emulation is mostly catered towards piracy people.

I have got to say, I still use the old school Yuzu too. Though, that's just nostalgic and laziness on my part. Lazy to change things.

Eden is unbelievable, it's simple, versatile, updated nightly and performance-wise feels like natively playing on a switch for me.

The emulation scene seems to have expanded since Nintendo attacked Yuzu+Ryujinx. There are a few projects alive and well, but I've been playing Eden exclusively because it rocka so hard.

This is where I usually check for new emulators or changes to recommendations.

They are but you can still find the last stable version of yuzu pretty easily. Fitgirl ships it with her repacks, it runs pretty much everything now. Also it can strap to vulkan render API so it's a lot more functional

I never understand communities like this.

I’ve used yuzu and ryujinx and they run at 60FPS on my machine… I’ll hafta look into Eden!

I run Linux so fitgirl is usually a no-go unfortunately

Thanks! What community is most active nowadays as it's all shut down on reddit and so forth I'm guessing? This one doesn't seem active either. It's such a pain to find up-to-date info for this kind of stuff.

Thanks a lot! Eden worked great actually. What community is most active nowadays as it's all shut down on reddit and so forth I'm guessing? This one doesn't seem active either. It's such a pain to find up-to-date info for this kind of stuff.

Yeah Eden seemed cool. So is Discord the place the place to be updated about what's new in the Switch scene?

Barring that, a quick search lead me to this guide for running yuzu on Linux. I'm not a Linux user myself so I don't know how accessible this will be to you but it looked like it even had instructions for gathering all the tools you'd need to set it up

For Eden, yeah. Definitely. For Ryubing, no idea. I got permanently banned from their Discord for mentioning ''Steam Deck OLED'', lol. But you can usually find Eden's changelogs on their GitLab: Eden latest changelog. From the site, you can also get the latest version of Eden. So, enjoy lol.

I honestly don't know, but FMHY and the dbzer0 wiki are good places to try and stay up to date with any piracy related stuff.
