You can find the LDN builds in the attachments below. Download the correct version for your operating system: Windows or Linux. You'll also have the choice of our classic GTK UI, or the up-and-coming Avalonia UI. Avalonia builds are denoted by their 'ava-ryujinx' prefix. Please note that our Avalonia builds are experimental and we advise using the GTK ones if you seek troubleshooting support.

Note: LDN 3.0 is not compatible with Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak. If you wish to play this game using LDN, please use the older LDN 2.5 build.

All our builds are completely free but if you'd like to support us, and  you're here anyway, then please consider donating to us on patreon!

LDN 2.5 has arrived!

Includes a Vulkan graphics backend which improves performance and compatibility drastically on AMD and Intel graphics cards running on Windows, plus all GPU vendors will enjoy drastically reduced shader compilation stuttering!

This version also includes all the enhancements and changes to the main Ryujinx build since November 2021, when LDN was last updated. There are too many to list here, but these are the most relevant fixes:

• Mario Kart 8 Deluxe v2.1.0 is now compatible with local wireless. Keep in mind this game requires a built shader cache to avoid disconnects.
• Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is now compatible with local wireless. You'll be able to go on hunts online with other Ryujinx LDN users.
• Pokémon Legends: Arceus is now compatible with local wireless. Enjoy trading with other Ryujinx LDN users.
• Pokémon Brilliant Diamond/ Shining Pearl now boot up a lot faster.
• Anisotropic filtering set to custom values will no longer cause graphical bugs.
• Animal Crossing: New Horizons no longer requires "ignore missing services" on newer versions.
• Scanning an Amiibo no longer slows some games down.
• Super Smash Bros Ultimate no longer stutters on menus.
• Pokémon saves will no longer corrupt on Linux.
• Splatoon 2 v5.5.0 now runs on Linux.
• Firmware v14.0.0+ will no longer cause issues.
• Motion controls are now more reliable.
• Various performance and stability improvements.

Unfortunately, support has been dropped for Windows versions older than 2018. If, for whatever reason, you feel you must stay on an unsupported Operating System, then you will have to stay on LDN 2.4.
