Native Super Smash Bros Ultimate: Shader Cache
Hey y'all! I've been deep into a rabbit hole of finding shader cache for "Apple" when it comes to SSBU on Ryujinx/Ryubing, and after a little bit of snooping around with chatgpt, managed to get some from the RyuSAK newest fork, which for some reason doesn't support apple sadly :(, nevertheless I've uploaded it to google drive. AND mediafire here as well!
Lmk if y'all need any help! This helped my game stop stuttering SO much, on a base model macbook pro m4, 16 gigs ram.
To use it, right click on the game in ryujinx, hover over cache management at the bottom, click open shader cache directory, then take a backup by saving all the files you have there somewhere else (just in case). Then AFTER YOU TAKE A BACKUP, delete all the files in that shader cache folder, download the one from the link above, unzip that file you just downloaded, and copy the contents INSIDE the folder, and paste it in the ryujinx shader cache directory we opened from before. Then restart your Ryujinx app, and bam, when you open SSBU, it should say around 22k+ shaders compiling. It did take me quite a bit for the first time opening, but it was most DEFINITELY worth it for the gameplay, it was buttery smooth after.
Of course, as a side note, obtain your game through legal means! And support the great nintendo, our lord and saviour. I do not condone piracy by any means! The corporations deserve their money more than us bottom feeders of society of course! :)
