Ayyyy, welcome to the UI: File Menu → General Improvements PR!
Wooo, we progressing smoothly!
This PR introduces small visual and "feature" improvements to the `File` menu.
### LOCALISATION:
* **Fractured:** More locales:
* `Dialog_ContentLoading.json` - content loading dialogs (Updates/DLC)
* `Dialog_FileTypeAssociations` - file association dialogs
* `Dialog_FileMenu` - File menu dialog strings (complements `MenuBar_File.json`)
* **Added:** Additional entires to `Error.json`
* **Populated:** `MenuBar_File.json`
### FILE MENU:
* **Added:** Keyboard shortcuts to `Load Application` and `Load Unpacked Game`
* Cmd + O/Ctrl + O and Cmd + Shift + O/Ctrl + Shift + O for macOS and other OS, respectively.
* While many users rely on autoloaded game directories, manually opening content remains a common workflow (for those that don't rely on autoload directories).
* **Merged:** `Load Title Updates` and `Load DLC` → `Load Updates/DLC`
* Both actions follow the same workflow: selecting one or more directories and allowing Ryujinx to load the content.
* To reduce redundancy, they have been consolidated into a single menu item that loads both Updates and DLC simultaneously, mirroring the behavior of the existing autoload functionality.
* As part of this change, Title Updates has been simplified to Updates for consistency with the rest of the UI. The remaining reference in the Game List context menu has also been updated from `Manage Title Updates` to `Manage Updates`.
* **Added/Updated:** File picker titles for content loading actions
* `Load Application`: Select a Switch application file to load
* `Load Unpacked Game`: Select a folder containing an unpacked Switch application to load
* `Load Updates/DLC`: Select one or more folders to bulk load updates and DLC from
* **Improved:** `Associate File Types` and `Remove File Type Associations` (initially moved to the `File` menu in #42)
* These options were previously nested under `Manage File Types` and exposed as `Install File Types` and `Uninstall File Types`. The submenu added unnecessary navigation, while the action names did not clearly communicate their purpose.
* The two actions have been replaced with a single dynamic menu item, whose displayed and performed action updates based on the current association state. The respective icons have been added as well (imported namespace Projektanker.Icons to allow for dynamic switching):
* Link → `Associate File Types`
* Link-Slash →`Remove File Type Associations`
* A tooltip has also been added to clarify the action being performed.
* This option is only usable when a game is not running (why associate file types when running a game? Play the game!)
* **Note:** These options are only available on Windows and Linux. macOS already provides robust per‑file “Open With” handling, so a custom association system isn’t necessary. Support can be added later if needed, but current macOS limitations in Ryujinx prevent certain behaviors; these will be addressed in future PRs.
* **Updated:** Menu Icons
* Several icons have been updated to better reflect their associated actions and improve consistency throughout the menu:
* `Load Updates/DLC...` now uses a single Inbox Tray icon instead of separate Update and DLC icons.
* `Open Ryujinx Folder`, `Open Logs Folder`, and `Open Screenshots Folder` now share the same folder icon, as all three actions ultimately open a folder/directory.
* `Exit` is now an Exit icon (arrow-right-from-bracket) instead of a Power button.
### OTHER:
* **Improved:** `Load Updates/DLC` dialog messages
* Existing dialog messages were longer than necessary and included terms such as "missing" updates and "new" DLC.
* These messages have been simplified and standardized:
* Updates Added: {0} or Updates Removed: {0}
* DLC Added: {0} or DLC Removed: {0}
_If there are any features or changes that you wish to be implemented, please comment down below and I'll be happy to accommodate!_
A GIGANTIC, ENORMOUSE HUUUUUUGEE thank you to @Babib3l for testing this and ensuring the commands work! WOOOOO!!!

Ryujinx |
Ryujinx is an open-source Nintendo Switch emulator, originally created by gdkchan, written in C#.
This emulator aims at providing excellent accuracy and performance, a user-friendly interface and consistent builds.
It was written from scratch and development on the project began in September 2017.
Ryujinx is available on a self-managed modified Forgejo instance under the MIT license.
On October 1st 2024, Ryujinx was discontinued as the creator was forced to abandon the project.
This fork is intended to be a QoL uplift for existing Ryujinx users.
This is not a Ryujinx revival project. This is not a Phoenix project.
Guides and documentation can be found on the Wiki tab.
Usage
To run this emulator, your PC must be equipped with at least:
- 8GiB of RAM
- 6 cores
- A GPU released within the last 10 years.
- OpenGL 4.6 | Vulkan 1.4
- Windows 10 version 20H1 | macOS Big Sur (Apple Silicon)
Failing to meet these requirements may result in a poor gameplay experience or unexpected crashes.
Latest build
Stable builds are made every so often, based on the master branch, that then gets put into the releases you know and love.
These stable builds exist so that the end user can get a more enjoyable and stable experience.
They are released every month or so, to ensure consistent updates, while not being an annoying amount of individual updates to download over the course of that month.
You can find the stable releases here.
Canary builds are compiled automatically for each commit on the master branch.
While we strive to ensure optimal stability and performance prior to pushing an update, these builds may be unstable or completely broken.
These canary builds are only recommended for experienced users.
You can find the canary releases here.

Features
-
Audio
Audio output is entirely supported, audio input (microphone) isn't supported. We use C# wrappers for OpenAL, and SDL3 & libsoundio as fallbacks.
-
CPU
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. It translates the ARM code to a custom IR, performs a few optimizations, and turns that into x86 code. There are three memory manager options available depending on the user's preference, leveraging both software-based (slower) and host-mapped modes (much faster). The fastest option (host, unchecked) is set by default. 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. 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. NOTE: This feature is enabled by default in the Options menu > System tab. 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.
-
GPU
The GPU emulator emulates the Switch's Maxwell GPU using either the OpenGL (version 4.5 minimum), Vulkan, or Metal (via MoltenVK) APIs through a custom build of OpenTK or Silk.NET respectively. There are currently six graphics enhancements available to the end user in Ryujinx: Disk Shader Caching, Resolution Scaling, Anti-Aliasing, Scaling Filters (including FSR), Anisotropic Filtering and Aspect Ratio Adjustment. These enhancements can be adjusted or toggled as desired in the GUI.
-
Input
We currently have support for keyboard, mouse, touch input, Joy-Con input support, and nearly all controllers. Motion controls are natively supported in most cases; for dual-JoyCon motion support, DS4Windows or BetterJoy are currently required. In all scenarios, you can set up everything inside the input configuration menu.
-
DLC & Modifications
Ryujinx is able to manage add-on content/downloadable content through the GUI. Mods (romfs, exefs, and runtime mods such as cheats) are also supported; the GUI contains a shortcut to open the respective mods folder for a particular game.
-
Configuration
The emulator has settings for enabling or disabling some logging, remapping controllers, and more. You can configure all of them through the graphical interface or manually through the config file,
Config.json, found in the Ryujinx data folder which can be accessed by clickingOpen Ryujinx Folderunder the File menu in the GUI.
