Eden emulator is making me pull my hair out

Dhala · May 22, 2026

I'm trying to run the Android version on the Ayn Thor but none of the games will launch, I just get a black screen for a second then back to the games logo menu, I have installed the latest firmware and prod.keys (and tried multiple others) and the emulator is up to date the games are all legit having been captured from my original switch and are in the correct format nsp or xci I'm completely at a loss about what is going wrong.
If you could share any knowledge about what may be happening I'd be glad to listen.

install another fork. it depends on your GPU/SoC and shit like this. I read about it, but don't remember much now.
Basically one switch emu also showed me black screen, while other worked fine enough. and that's kinda normal

A lot of compatibility and performance is driven by graphics drivers on Android too, so I’d advise looking into those and trying a few if you haven’t explored that already.

Just set mine up. I used the Eden that I got from Obtanium. Grabbed the firmware from DarthSternie and the keys from this site I can't remember. Personally, I setup where the keys were in a folder of their own on my MicroSD at root/emulation/switch. Put my NSP's there. I'd stick with releases found on certain sites and trackers as a lot of times, dumping from a legit Switch can be a pain in the ass. Lots of chances for the files to be corrupt. Oh and if you find "NSZ" files, you MUST decompress them with a tool like SwissArmyKnife as Eden will not let you install them.

Are you using the Turnip T26 driver? That seems to be the best one. https://github.com/MrPurple666/purple-turnip/releases
You should not be using the latest firmware, I'm not even sure emulators are compatible with it.
Your prod.keys has to match the firmware you are using, if the prod.keys is too old it can't decrypt the firmware.
Try with 19.0.1 firmware, some people say that's the most reliable.

My guess for why your games are not loading is that your prod.keys is too old.
