Not sure this is on-topic enough and maybe a bit niche, but does anyone here have experience running Animal Crossing via Ryujinx on the Steamdeck?
Just tested it and it really seems to bring the Steamdeck to its limits. Fan is running a lot, I had a crash or two as well. Kinda worried about frying my Steamdeck with this.
I checked online for performance tweaks but they mostly say that Yuzu works a bit better with the right tweaks, Ryujinx is already setup the best way but has worse performance.
Nothing that can be done or does anyone have some experience here?
Edit: Steamdeck OLED version by the way.
I got it running smoothly on the latest available version of Yuzu on my LCD Deck, if that helps.
I never tried it on my Steam Deck but I did try it out on my PC and it ran miserably there, even though my laptop is a pretty powerful Gaming laptop. I couldn’t imagine actually playing the game to completion that way. I also encountered lots and lots of bugs in the game, in addition to poor performance.

Not too be overbearing intentionally but that’s fine on the deck. I run project zomboid on my LCD and it usually does have some expected hiccups.
as for the performance in general, I’ve heard nintendo switch is really hit or miss on steamdeck. sometimes it runs well, other times it doesn’t depending on the game.
You need to switch the graphics backend from Vulkan to OpenGL. I’m running it really well, get the max FPS steady, and my Deck doesn’t even get hot. To top it off, I have the GPU downclocked to half speed. I could downclock the CPU too, but I keep it unbound so the load times stay quick. It’s the best performing Switch game I’ve played to date, stressing the Deck maybe half of what it’s capable of.
