Part 3 - Ending & Notes
To make a room just talk to the online cat and select local room, not online or LAN, LOCAL, any Ryujinx room up should be displayed, you can ask, sadly you cant play the DLC Quest as the person that uploaded the unlockers stopped to do so up until Update 3.3.


Notes
- AMD GPUs will need to use Linux, Windows won't do it.
- Tested on Ryzen 5 3600 + 2060S + 16gb of RAM i get 28-30fps once Shader Cache and PPTC have been build.
