Ryujinx Portable Mode is a configuration option that allows the emulator to store all of its settings, save files, and data in a single, self-contained folder rather than in the default system directories.
This setup is ideal for users who want to keep Ryujinx and all related files on a portable storage device, such as a USB drive, allowing them to use the emulator on multiple computers without needing to set it up each time.
NOTE: You must manually create the custom folder first before using portable mode! After enabling portable mode, you will need to copy your prod.keys file and any desired game data/save data from its original location to the new data folder.
To enable Portable Mode;
After creating the subfolder, run ryujinx.exe
and check the Launch Mode in the Ryujinx console to confirm it’s running in portable mode.
Next, open your portable folder, where you’ll see all the necessary system folders. Be sure to install the firmware and place the prod.keys
file in this new portable setup to ensure everything runs smoothly.
