Yes, and PC is best. Ryubing lists it as Playable (AMD and Mac GPU issues) and Citron as Perfect, though a Citron compatibility issue (July 2026) reports the whole emulator crashing after anywhere from a few minutes to an hour; Eden v0.0.3 fixed an MSAA crash and the DLC maps, and users report it running perfectly at 2x. Update 2.0 doesn't boot on Eden v0.2.0-rc1/rc2, but the DLC without the update works; an October 2026 report of a boot error on the latest nightly involved mods, and the stable release worked for that user. MeloNX runs it at about 1080p/30fps on an M4 iPad Pro, and as of November 1, 2026, nxnative on iPhone (a native port tool, not an emulator; needs update 2.0.0 and an iPhone 15 Pro or newer) officially runs it at 60fps (30 on Switch); Android mostly holds a steady 30fps on Eden and Citron, and Mac only has a 2023 Ryujinx demo video.
Settings & known issues
- ErrorOutOfDeviceMemory means VRAM ran out: turn on texture recompression (Ryubing docs).
- Eden v0.0.3 fixed an MSAA-related crash and the DLC maps.
- Update 2.0 won't boot on Eden v0.2.0-rc builds. Newer Eden reads updates kept next to the game; no NAND install.
- 2.0 with mods like Cobalt shows a boot error on the latest Eden nightly; stable v0.2.1 works (issue #4593, developers still asking for details).
- On old Ryujinx, VSync on made cutscenes stutter and VSync off slowed dialogue boxes; pick one.
- On Intel GPUs, the 3D character portraits crashed the original Ryujinx entirely (Sept 2024 report).
- nxnative's 60fps only works with update 2.0.0; after switching away and back, some sounds may stay silent until you restart the app.
