Where Does Ryujinx Store Saves and Firmware?
Ryujinx user folder on Windows, macOS and Linux with saves, mods, keys and NAND contents.
Last updated
Ryujinx keeps emulator state outside the install in a per-platform user folder: NAND contents, per-game saves, mods, keys and logs. Portable mode moves it next to the binary instead.
Saves live under bis/user/save, one directory per title. Copy the whole user folder and saves, mods and system data move as a unit.
Where Ryujinx stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\Ryujinx
Holds bis, games, mods, sdcard, system and logs. Saves sit under bis\user\save. Portable builds use a portable folder beside the executable instead. Only use firmware, keys and dumps from hardware you own.
~/Library/Application Support/Ryujinx
Same internal layout as Windows, with saves under bis/user/save. Reach it through Finder Go > Go to Folder.
~/.config/Ryujinx
Same bis, mods and system tree. AppImage and Flatpak builds may relocate it, so check the build's portable setting if the path is empty.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Ryujinx saves?
Copy the bis\user\save tree, or the whole Ryujinx folder for saves plus mods and config. Restore with the emulator closed.
Where do Ryujinx mods go?
In the mods folder under the paths above, one subfolder per title ID. The mods directory only appears after first launch.
