Nextendo v1.7.8 has been released, enhancing the Ryujinx Nintendo Switch emulator with a built-in client for the Nextendo Network, enabling seamless online play for supported games. This update, mandatory due to Nintendo’s Splatoon 3 11.3.0 release, requires all players in a lobby to use the same game build, now set at 11.3.0. Users must update both the game and emulator to avoid connection errors. Nextendo retains the original emulation core, focusing only on the networking layer. The new version simplifies certificate patch management, eliminating the need for additional installations. Download Nextendo v1.7.8 x64 to start.

Nextendo v1.7.8 has been released. Nextendo is a derivative of the open-source Ryujinx Nintendo Switch emulator. Building on Ryujinx’s impressive accuracy and performance, Nextendo incorporates a top-notch, integrated client for the Nextendo Network — a community-driven alternative to the official online service — enabling supported games to be played online effortlessly, without the need for manual configuration, custom hosts files, or SSL bypasses by users. The emulation core (CPU, GPU, audio, input, filesystem) remains consistent with the upstream Ryujinx. The enhancements in Nextendo are focused exclusively on the networking layer and overall user experience.
Nextendo Changelog:
Nintendo has released Splatoon 3 version 11.3.0, and Nextendo is now compatible with it.
This update is mandatory. For online play, all players must be on the same game version — having different builds in a lobby results in desynchronization, so only one version can be active at any given time. The current supported version is 11.3.0.
Action required: update Splatoon 3 to version 11.3.0, and update Nextendo to 1.7.8. If your game is still on version 11.2.0, Nextendo will alert you before launch, preventing you from encountering a connection error without any guidance.
The certificate patches are included with the emulator, as previously — there’s nothing to install, and no patch folders to handle. Both 11.2.0 and 11.3.0 patch sites are located at the same offsets, confirmed by comparing the decompressed images of both versions.
