BIOS

Switch firmware files and prod.keys need to be dumped from your console and placed in dedicated directories depending on the emulator:

Ryujinx

Place prod.keys file in \saves\switch\ryujinx\portable\system

Install firmware directly in the emulator, using the "Configure Ryujinx.bat" file to run Ryujinx.

This step is mandatory for Ryujinx to work properly with RetroBat.

If the "Configure Ryujinx.bat" does not exist in the emulators\ryujinx folder, you can find it in the system\templates\ryujinx folder and copy it in the emulator folder.

Sudachi, Suyu, Yuzu and Citron

Place prod.keys file in \emulators\<emulator>\user\keys

Place firmware .nca files in \emulators\<emulator>\user\nand\system\Contents\registered

Controls

The following controllers can be autoconfigured from Retrobat to Switch emulators:

  • XInput controllers

  • Dualshock & DualSense controllers

  • Nintendo Switch Pro controller
