Yes, and it runs well on PC and Android. Ryubing lists it as In-game (graphics, audio and cutscene issues); old Ryujinx reports had it at 60fps but crashing in the cutscene where Peach joins, with out-of-sync cutscene audio. In 2026 the community says the mid-game crash was a Yuzu/Ryujinx-era problem, and there's an Eden report of finishing it at 3x/60fps. Android mostly gets 55-60fps on Eden and Citron with a Snapdragon 865 or newer; on Mac, Ryubing on a MacBook Neo mostly holds 60fps after the opening, with cutscene audio out of sync, and iPhone only has demo videos without frame rates.
Settings & known issues
- If audio crackles on OpenAL/SoundIO, switch the backend to SDL2 (old Ryujinx report).
- On Android, accuracy set to High was the most stable (user report).
- If Eden crashes after a while, one user had zero crashes on Ryubing; or try a new nightly, Vulkan pipeline cache off.
- In-game snapshot photos may render incorrectly (user report).
