Found smash/totk on fitgirl repacks but it uses yuzu which requires a switch. Not spending 300 on an ageing console atp, is there any workaround?
you can use yuzu without owning a switch if you pirate the keys lol.
In what way does yuzu require a Switch? That hasn’t been my experience.
just reading off their site: Prerequisites A hackable Nintendo Switch console (preferably a model that is vulnerable to the fusée-gelée exploit). Visit Is My Switch Patched? to check if your console is not patched. A microSD card with at least 32 GB of storage capacity. 64 GB or higher is recommended. A USB-C to USB-A or USB-C to USB-C cable to connect your Switch to your computer.

Fitgirl’s repacks already contain the necessary files. These steps are unnecessary. There are also alternative ways of sourcing the files. :)
ok, thank you, can I also ask for the general idea of where to find these?
That’s just something they say because they love Nintendo’s dick in their mouth.
yeah, thought so, got banned off their discord for even hinting at the prospect of piracy smh
You don’t require a switch to use yuzu. You only require the keys and firmware which you also can get elsewhere.
You can get yuzu from their website, and the bios files and game roms from the usual suspects/ your favorite places online.
ok, thank you. Only reason I’ve been asking is due to the fact that it takes over an hour to compile shaders on each boot so I thought I was missing something
Yuzu and the other popular switch emulator, Ryujinx, may run better or worse depending on your PC specs–compiling shaders is normal on boot up but mine never takes more than a minute or two at most so an hour is extremely long.
Each emulator, Yuzu and Ryujinx, have varying performance with different games but run most games well.
Yuzu typically has games running better faster because the project isn’t aimed to be a true simulation of the switch or super accurate like Ryujinx is.
You can checkout both to see which one you like of course.
