Kenji-NX Emulator Update
The relatively new Nintendo Switch emulator, Kenji-NX, has just received a major update, version 2.0.4. This update follows the emulator's initial release on Android just three weeks ago, demonstrating a rapid development cycle. The update includes a range of improvements across all platforms. These improvements encompass crucial bug fixes, enhancements to the user interface, and significant backend optimizations.
Android-Specific Improvements
The Android version of Kenji-NX benefits from several additional refinements. The update disables NCE (native code execution) and PPTC by default. While NCE has proven vital in performance enhancements for other Switch emulators, an initial bug in its implementation within Kenji-NX prevented games from appearing in the games list. A swift bug-fix release, version 2.0.4.1, addressed this issue.
Users are strongly advised to download the most recent version (2.0.4.1) to avoid encountering the aforementioned game listing problem.
Performance and Development
Kenji-NX, a fork of the Ryujinx emulator, aims for a higher degree of accuracy in emulating Switch games. This approach may result in varied performance outcomes compared to other popular emulators. While high-end devices, particularly those equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, show significant promise, users with other chipsets might find better results with emulators like Citron or Eden. The project’s ongoing development, spearheaded by KeatonTheBot, is actively pursued with a commitment to regular updates.
The emulator's creation signifies a continuation of development efforts following the cessation of the original Ryujinx Android branch by Nintendo. This underscores the continuing evolution and adaptation within the Nintendo Switch emulation landscape.
While still in its early stages, Kenji-NX showcases remarkable progress. Users interested in testing its capabilities can download the latest release from the official GitHub repository.
