Ryujinx Prod Keys — System Folder Setup (v22.1.0)

Last updated

Ryujinx is the exception in every prod keys guide: it does not use a keys folder. Both prod.keys and title.keys go into its system directory. Readers following generic instructions put the file in the wrong place and conclude the keys are bad.

The system folder

Where Ryujinx reads prod keys

  • Windows%APPDATA%/Ryujinx/system/
  • macOS~/.config/Ryujinx/system/
  • Linux~/.config/Ryujinx/system/

Uses the system folder rather than a keys folder. Both prod.keys and title.keys go into the same directory.

Setup

  1. Download the current release from the prod keys download page.
  2. Open Ryujinx once so it creates its data directory, then close it.
  3. Place prod.keys in the system folder shown above, creating the folder if necessary.
  4. Add title.keys in the same folder only if a title specifically asks for it.
  5. Restart Ryujinx and open its system information screen to confirm loading.

Why the folder name matters

Because Ryujinx is accuracy-focused, it reports missing keys plainly instead of falling back to partial support. There is no silent degradation: if the file is not in system, games simply will not start. That makes the diagnosis fast once you know the folder name.

Confirming the keys loaded

Open the system information screen. It reports the key generation in use. If that field is empty, the file is not being read regardless of where you believe you copied it.

Frequently asked questions

Where do Ryujinx prod keys go?

Into the system folder: %APPDATA%/Ryujinx/system/ on Windows, ~/.config/Ryujinx/system/ on macOS and Linux.<br />

Does Ryujinx need title.keys too?

Only when a specific title reports a missing title key. Both files live in the same system folder.<br />

How do I check whether Ryujinx found the keys?

Open its system information screen; it lists the key generation it loaded.<br />
