EmuStack

EmuStack is the actively maintained successor to Yuzu Toolbox. It lets you download, update, launch, and manage Nintendo Switch emulators from multiple providers, with built-in save backups and mod management.

Built with Godot 4.6 and C# (.NET 8), EmuStack is open source under the GPLv3 license.

Supported providers

• Eden — official Eden releases
• Ryubing — Ryubing update server
• Ryujinx — mainline Ryujinx releases

Features

• Cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS
• Install and update emulator builds from supported providers
• Auto-unpack archives and create shortcuts
• --launcher mode — auto-update and launch your emulator in one step
• Save backup & restore
• Mod management — browse, install, update, and remove GameBanana mods; detect manually installed mods
• Light and dark themes
• Responsive, scalable UI

Usage

1. Pick a provider from the header dropdown.
2. Set your install folder.
3. Select a version and click Download.
4. Enable auto-unpack and shortcut creation if you want them.

After an emulator is installed, run EmuStack with --launcher to automatically check for updates, install the latest version if one is available, and launch the emulator.

For mod management, double-click a mod to install or remove it, and use Update Selected / Update All to refresh your installed mods.

Warning

Most GameBanana mods are designed for Nintendo Switch hardware, not emulators. Many will not work when installed through EmuStack. Please do not open issues about mod compatibility.
