## Where to put the games?
Switch games should be put into the `retrodeck/roms/switch/` directory.<br>
The games can come in many different formats: `XCI` `NSP` `NCA` `NSO` `NRO`.

## Open Ryujinx

`RetroDECK Configurator` ->  `Open Emulator` -> `Ryujinx`

## Does Ryujinx require BIOS or Firmware?

Needs the key files `prod.keys`, `title.keys` and the firmware files in the following directories:

**Keys:** `~/retrodeck/bios/switch/keys`

**Firmware:** `~/retrodeck/bios/switch/registered`

The directory tree should look like this example:
```
~/retrodeck/bios/switch
├── keys
│   ├── prod.keys
│   └── title.keys
└── registered
    └── XXX amount of .nca files goes here
```

### Install the firmware

Ryujinx also requires the firmware to be installed via `RetroDECK Configurator` ->  `Open Emulator` -> `Ryujinx` ->  `Tools` -> `Install Firmware` -> `Install from XCI or ZIP`

The installed firmware must have have the same version at your keys and .nca files, you can't mix and match as that can lead to crashes.
