Thank you for the app. There’s a problem with version 2.5. After launching, an error occurs. When launching the app. version 2.0 works. I deleted the folder, cleared the cache, etc. rev 2 switch. Ultra is the latest version.

Can i get some help please? i tried launching pokemon alpha saffire in .cia but it didn't let me open it so i decrypted with a bat to .cci and now it can't find the game anymore. Am i doing something wrong? I'm new to the whole emulators scene so any help is appreciated thank you
 
Hi there, I really enjoy using the emulator on my Switch and the screen customization options. I have one request regarding the layout: when I resize the first screen, it ends up on top of the second screen if they overlap. It would be great to have an option to change the layering so the second screen can be on top. Thanks for all your work on the project!
 
probably delete the ROM from the ROM folder?
ahahah I've done that.
and searched the whole SD for .cci .3ds .cia files
and yet I'm still unable to uninstall or even find Pilotwings Resort - it doesnt perform well which was what I was testing
There should be an option to uninstall within the emulator

Hmm… I wonder if the emulator creates an .ini or .config file where the ROM list is stored. You’d probably have to go into your PC, open those files as .txt, and see if you can remove the ROM paths or whatever.


Alternatively, I use DBI, and I typically don’t even have to connect to my PC. I can do it directly using the editing/text tools and whatnot.
 
This first post is for changelogs.

Version Number: 2.5.0
===========
Changelog
:
===========
This is a significant shader rewrite. You will have crashes if you don't clear your shader cache after this update.

  • Rewrote the UI from scratch. It uses GPU Composition now, and does not bully the CPU like it did on our previous UI. In idle mode, it uses basically zero power, instead of previously where it would drain close to 0.4W of power in idle. This does not affect power draw in-game since UI is not rendered in-game.
  • Added bunch of options to screen layout editor: per-screen rotation, layering, per-game layout editor, and more.
  • Added a UI for enabling and disabling Mods. This is NOT tested and uses the same backend as Azahar so it should technically work. Please report if it isn't working.
  • Added box art and game description scraping from GameTDB. Game descriptions are scrapped and added in the build by default, you can download the box arts if needed.
  • Fixed a critical issue where it would take 3-4 extra seconds to boot up a game for no reason. The game boots after compiling pipelines is super fast now.
  • Separated save files, ROMs folder,
  • Upstreamed to latest Azahar build as of 18/08/2026.
  • Added option to go back to library from in-game settings.
  • Rewrote a few functions for shader compilation via dynarmic and some in NXVK. Reduces stutters slightly after the first huge ones.
  • Completely rewrote the UI input handler. It now supports multi-inputs and all UI controls are now completely remappable.
  • Added many Quality of Life updates and small patches that I genuinely wanted to use for myself.

=================
Acknowledged bugs:
=================
* FPS font and Building Pipelines font looks broken sometimes. Needs to be fixed.
* Sometimes cover art does not render or it renders in grey blocks.
* The left rail in main menu UI sometimes does not display properly when moving between screens.
* Mods and Cheats are still untested.
* Performance drops in some games on stock speeds, even though they aren't using CPU or GPU to 100%.
* Probably base UI on plutonium by XorTroll for stability & more effects.


This list will grow or shrink depending on your feedback & updates.
please add the ability to uninstall installed roms and to create NSP forwarders with SteamgridDB. Also, the opacity of screens should persist instead of having to be set each launch. Love your work
