Guide to Transfer Animal Crossing Profile on Ryujinx

This guide explains how to transfer an Animal Crossing: New Horizons profile from the default profile to another in Ryujinx to enable multiplayer functionality. Requires both Ryujinx and Yuzu emulators (forks should work).

Prerequisites

  • Ryujinx and Yuzu installed.
  • Animal Crossing: New Horizons game.
  • Desired profile set up in Ryujinx.

Steps

  1. Backup Ryujinx Save Data

    • In Ryujinx, right-click Animal Crossing and select "Open User Save Data Location."
    • Copy all data to a new backup folder.
  2. Copy Save Data to Yuzu

    • In Yuzu, right-click Animal Crossing and select "Open Save Data Location."
    • Copy the backup data from the backup folder to Yuzu’s save data folder.
  3. Transfer Profile in Yuzu

    • Launch Animal Crossing in Yuzu.
    • You’ll see an error indicating the profile no longer exists (this is expected).
    • Follow the in-game prompts to transfer your island and villager to the new profile.
  4. Copy Updated Save to Ryujinx

    • Ensure your desired profile is enabled in Ryujinx.
    • Copy the updated save data from Yuzu’s save data folder to Ryujinx’s save data folder.
  5. Transfer Profile in Ryujinx

    • Launch Animal Crossing in Ryujinx.
    • You’ll see the same profile error.
    • Follow the in-game prompts to transfer your island and villager to the desired profile.
  6. Verify and Play

    • Once transferred, your Animal Crossing save is fixed.
    • You can now play online using Ryujinx LDN.

Notes

  • This method may work for transferring profiles in Yuzu, but it has not been tested.
  • Ensure backups are created to avoid data loss.
