This is the first official Vulkan preview of PPSSPP Switch Community Build, integrating NXVK support from PR #17.

Highlights

  • Adds the NXVK Vulkan renderer for Nintendo Switch.
  • Games, audio, touch input, controller input, and normal exit to the HOME Menu were verified on real hardware.
  • Includes corrected zero-copy presentation synchronization.
  • Keeps the existing OpenGL renderer available.

Installation

Extract the ZIP to the root of the SD card and launch PPSSPP using full-memory title takeover. Back up existing PPSSPP configuration and save data before replacing files.

Known limitations

  • Vulkan support is still experimental.
  • Performance is game-dependent and is not yet consistently faster than OpenGL.
  • Higher rendering resolutions can substantially reduce performance.
  • Game compatibility testing is still limited.
