These enhancements can be adjusted or toggled as desired in the GUI. There are currently four graphics enhancements available to the end user in Ryujinx: disk shader caching, resolution scaling, aspect ratio adjustment and anisotropic filtering. GPU The GPU emulator emulates the Switch’s Maxwell GPU using the OpenGL API (version 4.4 minimum) through a custom build of OpenTK. You must launch the game at least twice to the title screen or beyond before performance improvements are unlocked on the third launch! These improvements are permanent and do not require any extra launches going forward. NOTE: this feature is now enabled by default in the Options menu > System tab. The net result is a significant reduction in load times (the amount of time between launching a game and arriving at the title screen) for nearly every game. Ryujinx also features an optional Profiled Persistent Translation Cache, which essentially caches translated functions so that they do not need to be translated every time the game loads. It translates the ARM code to a custom IR, performs a few optimizations, and turns that into x86 code. The CPU emulator, ARMeilleure, emulates an ARMv8 CPU and currently has support for most 64-bit ARMv8 and some of the ARMv7 (and older) instructions, including partial 32-bit support. We use C# wrappers for OpenAL, and libsoundio as the fallback.

Audio – Audio output is entirely supported, audio input (microphone) isn’t supported.
