Emulator profiles

The emulator decides where Romule drops games and where it reads saves. It is described by a JSON file in romule/profils/, not by code.

Profile	Verified on real hardware	Notes
Eden	yes	The reference profile. Romule was built against it.
Yuzu	no	Eden descends from it: same layout, same config format.
Sudachi	no	Yuzu fork.
Citron	no	Yuzu fork.
Ryujinx	no	JSON configuration, and a different layout.
Other emulator	no	Games folder only, nothing else.

Unverified profiles are labelled in the interface. That label is the honest default, not a disclaimer: only Eden has been run against a real device.

Pick yours in Settings → Your console.

What a profile holds

{
  "cle": "eden",
  "nom": "Eden",
  "paquets": ["dev.eden.eden_emulator", "dev.eden_emu.eden"],
  "donnees": "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/{paquet}/files",
  "config": { "format": "ini-qt", "fichier": "config/qt-config.ini" },
  "sauvegardes": "nand/user/save",
  "verifie": true
}

paquets lists candidate Android package names, because they change between emulator versions. Romule asks the console which one is actually installed rather than guessing, and remembers the answer.

config is null for profiles whose settings Romule cannot pilot. When it is set, the emulator settings panel appears — and is labelled beta, because Romule writes into another program's files and that format can change without notice.

Adding a profile

Copy romule/profils/eden.json, adjust it, and set "verifie": false unless you have run it against a real device. See Contributing.
