Not sure this is on-topic enough and maybe a bit niche, but does anyone here have experience running Animal Crossing via Ryujinx on the Steamdeck?

Just tested it and it really seems to bring the Steamdeck to its limits. Fan is running a lot, I had a crash or two as well. Kinda worried about frying my Steamdeck with this.

I checked online for performance tweaks but they mostly say that Yuzu works a bit better with the right tweaks, Ryujinx is already setup the best way but has worse performance.

Nothing that can be done or does anyone have some experience here?

Edit: Steamdeck OLED version by the way.

    Not too be overbearing intentionally but that’s fine on the deck. I run project zomboid on my LCD and it usually does have some expected hiccups.

    as for the performance in general, I’ve heard nintendo switch is really hit or miss on steamdeck. sometimes it runs well, other times it doesn’t depending on the game.

      You need to switch the graphics backend from Vulkan to OpenGL. I’m running it really well, get the max FPS steady, and my Deck doesn’t even get hot. To top it off, I have the GPU downclocked to half speed. I could downclock the CPU too, but I keep it unbound so the load times stay quick. It’s the best performing Switch game I’ve played to date, stressing the Deck maybe half of what it’s capable of.

      Yeah, seems so. Mario Kart runs really well, at least the tracks I tried, haven’t played the whole game yet.

        Btw, Mario Kart 8 runs way better using Cemu (so the Wii U version). Aside from the new DLC tracks (the ones from the mobile game, they’re pretty shit anyway), it’s the same game with the same content if you download the DLCs for the Wii U version.

          Switch version also has proper battle tracks, can carry two items at once, 3rd level boost and probably some other relatively small but maybe important changes to some.

            True, I didn’t think of that. But I still play the Wii U version on my PC, even though it could run the Switch version too. To me, those changes are so small that I don’t really care all that much. But one thing I just thought of is that with the Wii U version on Cemu, you can actually play online using Pretendo. I haven’t figured out how to set it up yet but that would be a reason for me to play the game more again because I’ve already 100% comoleted the single player.
