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 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.

        Update your Yuzu application to the latest version. It stopped recompiling for me and simple just loaded the shaders on every boot of the game. Boot times into the game went from ~45s to 2s every time.
