How to Add a ROMs Folder to Yuzu or Ryujinx

If you're new to using Nintendo Switch emulators like Yuzu and Ryujinx, adding a ROMs folder is an essential step. The process may seem daunting at first, but it's surprisingly easy once you know where to look.

In fact, you can create a folder anywhere on your system and point the emulator to it. If you didn't install a Switch emulator through EmuDeck, finding the folder is even easier.

Finding the Switch ROMs Folder

If you're using Steam Deck, click twice on the icon, then navigate to 'ROMs,' 'Switch,' and you'll find yourself inside the Switch ROMs folder. On Dolphin File Explorer, simply click on the SD card, and one of the folders you should see is Emulation.

For example, if you have EmuDeck installed on your microSD card, the full path for me is:

/run/media/mmcblk0p1/Emulation/roms/switch

Keep in mind that this will vary depending on how you installed your Nintendo Switch emulator. If you installed Yuzu or Ryujinx using EmuDeck, it will be located within the main EmuDeck Emulation folder.

Locating the Switch ROMs Folder on Steam Deck

To access the Switch ROMs folder on Steam Deck, follow these steps:

1. Open Dolphin File Explorer and click on the SD card.

2. Locate the 'Emulation' folder and navigate to 'ROMs,' then 'Switch.'

Alternatively, if you don't have the icon anymore, you can press the start menu button (blue and white Steam Deck icon in the corner of the screen) and find Dolphin under 'All Applications.'

That's it! With these simple steps, you'll be able to add your ROMs folder to Yuzu or Ryujinx and start playing your favorite Nintendo Switch games on your PC.
