Common questions

Ryujinx won't start — do I need .NET?
On Windows, install the .NET Desktop Runtime version shown in the error from Microsoft, then relaunch.
Steam Deck — which Linux build?
Always the Linux x64 AppImage or tar.gz — not ARM64. Configure keys and firmware in Desktop Mode first.
Canary vs Stable — which should I use?
Stable is safer for first-time users; Canary gets updates faster. You can roll back from the release page anytime.
Is this the official Ryujinx site?
No — this is an independent install guide. Binaries always come from Ryubing’s git.ryujinx.app release pages linked here.
