Should You Download a Pre-built Shader Cache?

  • %appdata%\Ryujinx\games\ – Per-title shader cache
    Actually: %appdata%\Ryujinx\bis\user\save\00000000\00000001\?
    Correct modern path (Ryujinx 1.1+):
    %appdata%\Ryujinx\games\<GameID>\shader.cache
  • PPTC (Profiled Persistent Translation Cache): Caches the CPU code.
  • Shader Cache: Caches the GPU code. Both are necessary for performance. Make sure both are enabled in your settings.
