# P5R Switch Mods on PC Emulator (Yuzu/RyujiNX)

## Getting Required Files

In order to run the game on a PC emulator, you will need the following files:

* prod.keys
* title.keys
* an NSP/XCI dump of the game
* a [Nintendo Switch firmware](https://darthsternie.net/switch-firmwares/)

Due to copyright and the potential for piracy, these cannot be provided directly, but you can either search online or dump them yourself from your Switch console.

### Dumping Keys

See [Launching CFW via RCM ](/getting-started/persona-5-royal-switch-mod-support/p5r-mods-on-switch-console-cfw.md#launching-cfw-via-rcm)for how to access RCM mode and launch a payload.

* Use [TegraRCMGUI](https://github.com/eliboa/TegraRcmGUI/releases) to launch the [lockpick homebrew](https://github.com/dezem/Lockpick_RCM/releases) and dump your keys.

### Dumping the NSP/XCI

See [Launching CFW via RCM ](/getting-started/persona-5-royal-switch-mod-support/p5r-mods-on-switch-console-cfw.md#launching-cfw-via-rcm)for how to boot into CFW and launch homebrew.

1. Download [`nxdumptool.nro`](https://github.com/DarkMatterCore/nxdumptool/releases/download/v1.1.15/nxdumptool.nro) and place it in the `/switch/` folder of your SD card.
2. Launch the NXDumpTool homebrew via the Album icon on the home menu.
3. Select P5R and dump as an `.NSP` file to SD card. \
   This can take quite some time. Make sure you have an extra 15 GB of space available on the SD.
4. If the `.NSP` file was split up due to the SD Card being formatted as FAT32...
   1. Download and run [HxD](https://mh-nexus.de/en/downloads.php?product=HxD20).
   2. Go to `Tools` > `File Tools` > `Concatenate`
   3. Select each of the files in the NSP folder and make sure they're listed in order.
   4. Save the `.NSP` file somewhere on your PC.

## Setting up your Emulator

1. Download [RyujiNX ](https://ryujinx.org/download)or [Yuzu](https://yuzu-emu.org/downloads/), and extract with [7-zip](https://www.7-zip.org/).
2. Follow the [Setup & Configuration Guide](https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx/wiki/Ryujinx-Setup-&-Configuration-Guide) for RyujiNX,\
   or the [Quickstart Guide](https://yuzu-emu.org/help/quickstart/) and [FAQ](https://yuzu-emu.org/wiki/faq/#how-do-i-use-mods-or-cheats) for Yuzu, which cover...
   1. How to add your keys to the emulator
   2. How to install the firmware
   3. How to load the game + any updates
   4. How to add mods to the game

## Extracting Files

In order to create your own mods, or merge existing mods using a Mod Manager, you'll want a copy of the game's files. The files are about 15 GB in total, so make sure you have enough space free.

1. Go to `Options` > `Settings` > `General` and add the directory containing your P5R `.NSP` or `.XCI` to the Game Directories list.
2. Right click the game in the list and choose `Extract Data` > `RomFS`.
3. Please be patient as this can take a very long time!
