Managing User Profiles

Ryujinx allows you to create and manage multiple user profiles, which is useful for tracking separate save files, preferences, and in-game progress for different users.

WARNING: Save data is specific to each user profile so if you delete a profile, the save data under that profile is also deleted.

Here’s how to set up and manage user profiles in Ryujinx:

Edit a User Profile

With Ryujinx open, but no game running, click on Options > Manage User Profiles

Now in the Manage User Profiles window, you will see the default RyuPlayer profile. This is the default profile that comes with Ryujinx and cannot be deleted as it contains all of the original save data for your games. You may, however, rename it and change the picture to something else, if you like.

To rename a profile, simply select it and type in the new text.

To change the profile image, select the profile in the list and click Change Profile Image.

You will then be prompted to select from either a custom image, or from one of the many avatars provided in the firmware.

If you choose to import an image: supported formats are png, bmp, and jpg. You can use the image you want, but it will be resized to 256×256 pixels, so using a square image is recommended.

If you choose to use a built-in firmware avatar, click on Select Firmware Avatar

In the Manage Accounts – Avatar window, select the avatar you want, and choose a background color. When finished, click Choose to make it the profile’s image.

Adding a New Profile

With Ryujinx open, but no game running, click on Options > Manage User Profiles

Click on the plus button next to the default profile.

A window will pop up asking you to name the new Profile. Enter the desired name of the new profile, then proceed to set your profile image and hit save.
