How to Setup Switch Emulation in Batocera (New)

This tutorial is the latest installation guide for Switch emulation on Batocera 34 and above. Both Yuzu and Ryujinx are working in Batocera. It is also now easier to upgrade to their latest builds. Switch emulation on Batocera is now bigger and better than ever. See also how well Switch emulation works on the Steam Deck (test system).

Thanks for all that you do with batocera. I only just started using it and your video's are amazingly helpful. Wouldn't surprise me if you were a teacher or based in education. You pass on your knowledge very well.

Attention! make a backup before deleting the folders because it will delete your dlc and save data. ps: thx fo the video.

I got an arcade cabinet with Batocera inside (v34). I managed to set up everything perfectly, except Demon Slayer on Switch (it loads, but crashes when the intro loads, like Mario Strikers before someone made a fix). I think I'll keep things as they are, at least for now (I'm a bit scared to mess things up, especially since I encountered some issues setting up my arcade sticks).
Thanks for all your work :)

im playing o.n the steam deck. i was having problems with the controller not configured correctly. after setting it up and saving the profile it changes back when i restart the emulator it goes back to wrong controls. so i updated the emulator in the ports and now there is a notification that open gl is not supported. so i change it to vulkan and it changes back like the controls.

[DicXmn]

Really nice video, thanks a lot!!
Do you know if it's possible to use joy cons and if I can use two for a single player? For example, to play Just Dance

[deebriggs]

Followed instructions still won't start switch games just kicks me back out just blank text files in applications -- I got it 👍 great guide all the files wasn't copied onto the hdd had to check it to fix

[josha]

thank you for all of your batocera videos! they have been really helpful. how do you update switch games in batocera? (not the gamelist, i am talking about title updates for games)

Thanks for this. For yuzu, The controller profile never saves though. Everytime I load a game I must use keyboard and hit ESC to reconfigure controller. Even from botacera ui under Per System Advanced I select Pro Controller under Pad 1 and it won't recognize inputs when playing.
