First-time setup

Ryujinx Canary setup

After Ryujinx opens, add your own keys and firmware, point the emulator at your legally dumped games, then configure input and graphics.

Setup walkthrough

1

Download and launch Ryujinx Canary

Pick the package for your operating system and CPU, extract it if needed, then run Ryujinx once so it can create its configuration folders.

2

Install product keys

Use Tools or Actions > Install keys when your build provides that menu, or open the Ryujinx folder and place prod.keys and title.keys in the system folder.

3

Install firmware

Open Tools or Actions > Install firmware, select your firmware archive, folder, or XCI when supported, then restart if Ryujinx asks for it.

4

Add game directories

Go to Options > Settings > Game directories, add folders that contain your legally dumped games, apply the changes, and refresh the game list.

5

Configure input and graphics

Map your controller, choose Vulkan or OpenGL based on your hardware, and test one game before changing advanced performance settings.
