Yes, and you have to unlock the framerate in the emulator itself I believe.

Ryujinx (Switch emulator) adds high-res screenshot feature
- Thread starter jediyoshi
- Start date
Yup. Going to have to fiddle around with my launch Switch so I can dump some games. Lordy these games look good....probably won't do this until I get a new Switch though. Holding out for a backwards compatible successor that might be able to handle this without the emulator but I realize that's asking a LOT of Nintendo.
Metroid Dread
Is there anyway to see comparison between these god tier shots and the native switch version?
Dread running that well is nothing new, emulator achievement wise I mean. It's still very impressive nonetheless. This reminds me of when Xenoblade Chronicles and Skyward Sword came out on Wii. The only disc spinning that happened with the Wii was to dump both disc and play the games entirely on Dolphin in 1080p because they were running great on day 1.

You would want to use the Hekate bootloader to clone your SYSNAND (the OS partition on the built in storage) to an emuNAND and install the custom firmware on there. Keep the emunand offline and use the various homebrew tools to keep that CFW instance from ever phoning home, which should give you a safe environment for homebrew where you can dump your saves. When you're done you can boot back into the official firmware on the SYSNAND and it'll be none the wiser. Alternatively you could use Hekate to backup the SYSNAND and extract the save files from there using PC tools.
PHEEEEW that looks HOT 🔥
Saved it for my background, thx!
So ryujinx is superior visuals and yuzu superior performance?
This comparison makes me feel things.
I have spent my entire night attempting...to not brick my Switch and I decided to give up.
I guess I will just keep dreaming of a timeline where Nintendo games have actually crisp IQ and I don't have to do 9000 shady things to attain it.
Metroid being stuck in the current Switch hardware is a crime.
Clearly this for me. I have a shitty cpu ( ryzen 1600x) with à 3070ti.
Waiting for the 3700x at 200e to buy it.
I have clearly better performance with yuzu for the moment.
The xenoblade 2 picture from the last page make me want to play this game with à good résolution again haha thé switch version was so bad even with the mclassic
Performance depends on the game and the emulators are still in development since my post you quoted, Ryujinx got a multithreaded shader compiler and some performance improvements for example and yuzu will get a resolution scaler very soon.
So it's probably best to just use both depending on the game, save games are compatible so you can switch around if you like i even copy them to my switch and back if i use it undocked. I pretty much don't use it docked anymore since emulators are far superior in most cases now.
Thanks - reading into it, it's not as simple as it was with the Wii :P
But at least I could confirm that I have an unpatched Switch.
It's unmerged atm but you can try the in development vulkan builds if you like (download the normal builds not headless) they already work pretty well from what i can see.

I haven't researched the latest state of Switch emulation yet, but I would love to be able to take the SD card from my Switch, pop it in my PC, then continue playing in 4K. I'm guessing there's some file encryption that gets in the way of making it completely plug and play.
right click the game in ryujinx, click Open mods directory and extract the zip to that folder.
the mod should be automatically applied when you start the game.
It rarely is a GPU limitation that prevents you from playing emulated games. CPU it is.
It's possible to do that (just not as simple as moving your SD card around). Just need to have a switch that can dump and you can dump your save file
Thanks. Is it any simpler if all I want to do is a one time dump of the games I have now and then wipe the mod tools from my switch?
How do you apply this shader? Does it go into the ryujinx system folder?
Right click on the game name, open mod folder and extract it there.
Do some of you ever think you might be a bit over dramatic? Like, claiming something to be on the level of cancer because it doesn't give you enough colored dots is a bit insane, you get that right?
It's all well and good to be able to enjoy games on the PC on an emulator, but to preface you are aware to play the games on said emulator requires said hardware to extract its library in the first place.
As for the statement in regards to it being a "scam", I'd honestly like for you to explain considering the release of the Switch back in 2017 and mobile SoC and the availability of others available to it on the market, given the supplier and contracts put in place at the timing of its release, and considering the its somewhat unique form factor, what better options were available? Said alternatives would have likely led to much more expensive device all in all, nevermind being gated technologically by what could reasonably used in portable in the first place, considering all the aforementioned factors.
If the Switch at its $300 price point is too expensive for some, I highly doubt those would be just as willing to pay even more for the demand of more powerful hardware which wasn't available at the time, especially not in a handheld / mobile formfactor.
It's like this post time traveled from 15 years ago. Fascinating.
No need for the drama. I think most would agree that having more powerful Switch hardware would be a good thing. You vote with your wallet.
Having said that, playing emulated Switch games is illegal without access to Switch hardware to extract the ROM and product keys, regardless of whether you own a copy of the game. So...
I was about to say.
Played two hours on Ryujinx thus far and it has been really smooth. Without vsync and a 165 fps cap. It mostly runs at that framerate with some occasional shader cache drops.
I noticed though, despite the anti aliasing removal mod, it still looks better in handheld mode (x4 IR).
What type of rigs are yall running this on to get that performance? I've been tinkering a bit with Ryujinx but I'm doubting I'll be able to achieve anything reasonable on my rig without an upgrade - GTX 1080 and I5 6600k
I have a fairly high end PC, 9900K and RTX 3080.
Keep in mind in regards to emulation is typically a much more CPU demanding task rather than GPU. You have a decent quad core Intel that has good clock speeds.
You should be able to get by fairly well on your GPU too.
If you got custom firmware on your Switch you are pretty much good to go.
