It runs, but not great: Ryubing lists it as In-game (slow, crashes). The original Ryujinx managed about 30fps on an M1 Max Mac with flickering in the opening mission, and a 2022 PC test showed FIFO maxed out and under 30fps. EmuReady has an Eden report on an AYANEO Air (Ryzen 5 5560U) that runs smoothly until the first short-range combat scene and is barely playable after that (November 3); no public test reports were found for Citron, iPhone/iPad or Android.
Settings & known issues
- Ryubing's official list flags slowness and crashes, so try it on a fairly strong PC.
