TL;DR Switch emulator Citron dropped a new “Pathfinder” update over the weekend.
It has a new cross-emulator save management feature and an integrated mod downloader.
These major features are PC-only for now, but all platforms have updates and bug fixes.
It’s only been a week since Eden improved Nintendo Switch emulation on Android in its latest update, but now the other major alternative has pushed brand new features to PC. Citron’s “Pathfinder” update dropped over the weekend, and although it’s mostly focused on PC and Steam Deck performance, it has bug fixes and updates across all platforms.
One of the biggest and most unique new features in the update is save management. This allows you to choose where your save games live, back them up, import them, and even use them in other Switch emulators like Eden or old-school Yuzu. This can be set globally or on a per-game basis.
The two major features are exclusive to PC for now, but there are improvements across all platforms.
The other major new addition is an integrated mod downloader and manager. One of the best things about emulating Switch games is playing with mods, and this update makes it easier than ever to play as girl Link (Linkle) in Breath of the Wild or add tons of custom tracks to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
However, those two features are PC-only. It’s not clear when or if they will be available on Android in the future, but all platforms have received significant updates and bug fixes.
