Hopefully this suffices in the meantime.

ICYMI: Yes, the rumours are true! Metroid Dread runs in Ryujinx smoothly since day one! You can experience the game at 4k120 with a good enough PC.

As
@appveyor
took our project down for unknown reasons, we were forced to switch to a new release system.
You will need to manually download the new Ryujinx version (1.1.3) to switch to the new release system:
Thank you for your patience.

⚠️ Heads up: we'll be dropping support for Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and <2018 Windows 10 versions, starting June 1st 2022.
From that point on, Windows builds will target Windows 10 (and 11) specifically, and Ryujinx will stop working altogether on older Windows installs.
Our fellow Brazilian players will be pleased to know this is the first Nintendo game on the Switch to be fully localised to Brazilian Portuguese🇧🇷, and you can now play it in Portuguese on Ryujinx too! Bom jogo!
As we all know, AMD GPUs are no strangers to sucking. However thanks to our WIP Vulkan backend, you can avoid this and get to the sucking that matters.
Here's a video of the Kirby demo running on AMD Vulkan on Windows.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons update 2.0.0 is out! ⛵

- Graphics driver updates have ended for these systems.
- .NET 6 already made Windows 7 start needing workarounds. .NET 7 will likely make matters worse.

Among others.

Hey Linus, have you tried Ryujinx on the Deck yet? If you haven't, try the Pinejinx installer, it should make performance a bit better.
Last month Ryujinx brought FMV/in-game videos to Switch emulation. This month, we're proud to announce Amadeus: Switch emulation's first complete audio renderer implementation! 🎼
(Belated) Happy New Year! 🎆
Wrapping up 2021, here's the December Progress Report:
The team wishes you all a wonderful year, and we hope you look forward to the many great things 2022 will bring to Ryujinx! 👀
A few known issues remain:
- Godrays cover the screen in certain areas. On Nvidia, use driver version 516.xx/517.xx to avoid this. A fix is being looked into.
- Texture Recompression is required to avoid running out of VRAM.
- Cutscene audio can desync. No solution as of yet.

Super Mario Odyssey; once again, is improving! Textures are being rendered (mostly) correctly, and shader rendering is improving. But the game is still far from being playable. Nor properly rendered.

We'd like to announce that our rewrite of the GPU emulation for Ryujinx has now been merged to master.
What does this mean for you, the end user?
You won't need to download a special build, or dig one up through the appveyor page. It's all merged to and works as expected.
