Pine-jinx

A local Ryujinx installer for linux

The purpose of the installer is to place Ryujinx inside ~/.local/share/Ryujinx, setup a desktop entry and an optional ZSH or BASH alias with optional optimizations (per GPU vendor and/or gamemode) as well as setup mimetypes for Switch binaries (eg. NSP, XCI).

Ryujinx Master and Ryujinx LDN options are provided on this installer, both versions can be installed simultaneously if desired.

Usage: Open a terminal, paste
bash -c "$(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/edisionnano/Pine-jinx/main/pinejinx.sh)"
and hit enter

Notes and Warnings

⚠️ If you are on Ubuntu or a based distro (like Mint,Elementary,Zorin,Pop_OS) you'll have to install libx11-dev using sudo apt install libx11-dev and if you are on Fedora sudo dnf install libX11-devel otherwise Ryujinx will fail to run
⚠️ If you choose to use gamemode you'll have to install it otherwise Ryujinx won't open. Pinejinx prints a warning in bright red bold letters when gamemode is not found. It's preinstalled on Ubuntu. To install it on Arch and based distros (like Manjaro,EndeavourOS and Garuda) do sudo pacman -Syu gamemode and for distros on the Debian/Ubuntu family (this includes MX,Mint,Elementary,Zorin,Pop_OS) use sudo apt install gamemode
⚠️ If you are on Garuda you'll have to do exec zsh before using the script and the alias
⚠️ Pinejinx overwrites ~/.config/gamemode.ini if it exists when you use gamemode. This will be fixed in the future. If you don't know what this is, ignore this warning
⚠️ The gamemode config used by Pinejinx supports the re-nice feature for some additional performance, to use it you must create a gamemode group using sudo groupadd gamemode and throw your user in using sudo usermod -a -G gamemode $USER
⚠️ Regarding laptop users with NVIDIA GPUs, Ryujinx will have to merge the EGL pull request before Pinejinx can support you
