Modern consoles and their games make heavy use of precompiled shaders specific to their GPUs, and these shaders can't be run natively on PC hardware so they need to be translated, or recompiled. The simplest way to do this is to recompile them at runtime, but that's slow and can cause stuttering every time a new shader is loaded in the game. A mitigation to this stuttering is to compile the shaders asynchronously to the emulator, but this has its own drawback in that in the time it takes to compile the shader the effect in-game that relies on it wont be shown. Another approach is to cache the raw shader pipeline of the system and then use that to compile the shaders before the game even starts. The only drawback here is that someone has to play through the game once to 'build' a cache that can be used by others.

When an emulator updates the way it handles shaders they may break compatibility with previous shader caches, for this reason the shader version is listed below.

Newer versions of Cemu leverage Vulkan 1.2 and asynchronous shaders in a way that it may be preferable on modern GPUs to use async shaders instead of a shader cache.

Latest revision as of 02:55, 21 April 2024

Modern consoles and their games make heavy use of precompiled shaders specific to their GPUs, and these shaders can't be run natively on PC hardware, so they need to be translated or recompiled. The simplest way to do this is to recompile them at runtime, but that's slow and can cause stuttering every time a new shader is loaded in the game. A mitigation to this stuttering is to compile the shaders asynchronously to the emulator, but this has its own drawback in that in the time it takes to compile the shader, the effect in-game that relies on it won't be shown. Another approach is to cache the system's raw shader pipeline and then compile the shaders before the game even starts. The only drawback here is that someone has to play through the game once to 'build' a cache that can be used by others.

When an emulator updates the way it handles shaders, it may break compatibility with previous shader caches; for this reason, the shader version is listed below.

Note: Please compress your shader caches with 7-Zip or WinRAR before uploading them.

Cemu[edit]

Put files in <cemuFolder>\shaderCache\transferable\

Newer versions of Cemu leverage Vulkan 1.2 and asynchronous shaders in a way that it may be preferable on modern GPUs to use async shaders instead of a shader cache, so try enabling that before hunting for shader caches. The current shader version is 150, but Cemu is backward-compatible from version 149 (Cemu version 1.7.0, 2017/05/16) Cemu 1.25.0+ is not backward-compatible with any prior transferable cache.

Download 150 6500ish shaders, 11000 vulkan pipelines Incomplete, this is meant for Vulkan users (the cache above will still work with Vulkan) so they don't have to build pipelines.
Don't try to combine the pipelines with another cache, as they are incompatible.
Download 150 9627 shaders, 32609 vulkan pipelines Almost perfect, JPN version of Breath of the Wild for the Cemu 1.25, other region versions can use the OpenGL shaders, change its name, for example, change 9300 to 9500.
The Vulkan pipelines will increase with your hardware driver update.
Download 150 9430 shaders, 56354 vulkan pipelines US version of zelda breath of the wild game played through with Cemu version 1.26.2f using Vulkan Graphics API, this is the entire shaderCache folder.

Ryujinx[edit]

Right click the game in Ryujinx's game list, Cache Management > Open Shader Cache Directory, and extract the zip there.

To share: Right click the game in Ryujinx's game list, Cache Management > Open Shader Cache Directory and zip all the files named "guest" and "shared". Use the title ID as filename (check the file path for a folder with a name that resembles 010015100b514000).

  • Don't upload shaders if you used mods.
  • Vendors seem to matter, so if your card is AMD and there's only an NVIDIA shader cache available, add another entry, and vice-versa. Don't just replace caches from different vendors.

Current shader version is 1.1 (2023/10/23)[4]

Game Link(s) Shader Version Vendor Shader Count
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Download 1.1 AMD 579
Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles Download 1.1 AMD 7521
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Download 1.1 Apple 784
Mario Kart 8 Download 1.1 NVIDIA 4213
Metroid Dread Download 1.1 NVIDIA 401
Pokémon Sword Download 1.1 AMD 26042
Super Mario Bros. Wonder Download 1.1 NVIDIA 4169
Super Mario Bros. Wonder Download 1.1 AMD 4119
Super Mario Bros. Wonder Download 1.1 Intel 7773
Super Mario Odyssey Download 1.1 NVIDIA 14040
Super Mario RPG Download 1.1 Apple 822
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Download 1.1 NVIDIA 19485
Master Detective Archives: Rain Code Download 1.1 AMD 4085
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Download 1.1 NVIDIA 4517

Dump from defunct RyuSAK servers. Have in mind that some shaders might be broken (such as Mario Kart 8).

Avoid re-uploading these shaders to the list above.

Yuzu[edit]

NOTE: Yuzu is no longer being maintained and shutdown their services (including all repositories) because of legal troubles.

Right click the game in Yuzu's game list and click Open Transferable Pipeline Cache and copy/paste the .bin file.

Current shader version is 11 (2024/1/27). Use version 1659 and below to get shader version 10[5]
