How to install or update NX2navi
- New Windows install: download
NX2navi-Setup-0.8.0.exe(136.9 MB), place it next to your.nupdump of the game (version 1.1.1), and run it. If Windows SmartScreen warns because the installer is unsigned, verify the SHA-256 above and choose More info → Run anyway. - Build & shader preparation (10–25 minutes, once): the launcher verifies your game files (standing in for any damaged textures so play will not fail later), downloads its build tools, compiles the game for your CPU, prepares all 42,177 shader programs, and launches the game.
- Updating from v0.5.0 or newer: open the NX2navi launcher. It downloads updates in the background, updates itself, keeps your compiled game and prepared shaders, and compiles only what changed. If you originally installed v0.5.0, clicking Rebuild the Game on the launcher home screen recompiles the binary specifically for your CPU architecture.
- Linux & Steam Deck (AppImage): download
NX2navi-Linux-0.8.0-x86_64.AppImage, mark it executable (chmod +x), and launch it to open the install, update and play window. On NVIDIA drivers it bundles or downloads DLSS Beside the game; on Steam Deck it activates a 4-core profile with BC3 ASTC textures and Steam Deck button prompts (see the Steam Deck & Linux guide).
Key features & graphics options
- DLSS Multi Frame Generation & AMD FSR 3.1: supports NVIDIA DLSS (DLAA, Quality, Balanced, Performance, Ultra Performance) and DLSS Frame Generation at 2x (RTX 40/50) or 3x and 4x Multi Frame Generation (RTX 50, paced with NVIDIA Reflex; 2x–6x on Linux), plus AMD FSR 3.1 Native AA, upscaling and frame generation on any GPU with the HUD kept clean.
- 60 to 240 fps & native ultrawide: 60 fps by default, or 30–240 fps, display refresh rate, or RivaTuner Statistics Server hand-off. Supports 16:9, 21:9, 32:9 or arbitrary window shapes with 16:9 HUD/menus/movies, and internal resolutions from 1080p to 1800p, 4K and 5K.
- Native HDR & SDR tone mapping: choose the game’s native HDR or tone-map its SDR picture to your display’s peak brightness (up to 10,000 nits) with live sliders for exposure, highlights, shading, contrast, saturation and gamma.
- Custom button prompts & controller features: draws Nintendo, Xbox, PlayStation, Steam Deck or dynamic keyboard/mouse prompts directly into the game’s UI during the build. Supports rumble, 6-axis gyro, automatic active-gamepad switching, and direct DualShock 3 reading.
- Save export/import & restylable launcher: export or import saves (or single save slots) as a ZIP from the launcher or in-game Game tab (with optional log + settings bundling for bug reports), and customize the launcher with 6 color themes, custom backgrounds, animations, and the game’s own menu sound effects.
Configuration switches (nx2navi.ini)
Press F1 (or Minus + Plus on a controller) for the in-game settings menu and F10 for the performance overlay (which shows the game’s own VRAM share alongside total GPU usage). Advanced settings can also be edited in nx2navi.ini:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
wb_lazy = 1 | Copies GPU shader writes back to CPU memory once and only when the CPU touches them (saves ~66 MiB/frame in Hyrule Field, raising RTX 5090 from 65 to ~90 fps). v0.7.1 turned it on for every card on Windows; since v0.8.0 NVIDIA cards keep it on, while AMD’s Windows driver is back on the old copy-back until fights on AMD cards are confirmed stable. Set wb_lazy = 1 to try it (also on Linux) or wb_lazy = 0 to turn it off; the log line “mem: lazy write-back …” says which is in effect. |
texture_detail | Added in v0.7.1 (Screen tab): Automatic (default: Full on 10 GB+, Reduced on 8 GB, Low on ≤6 GB), Full, Reduced (drops largest mip), or Low (drops two largest mips). Since v0.8.0 it picks one step lower on cards under 20 GB where ASTC textures stay uncompressed. |
fsr4 = 1 | AMD FSR 4 upscaling (v0.8.0): Radeon RX 6000, RX 7000 and RX 9000 on Windows with AMD driver 26.10.1 or newer; the menu rows appear only where the driver says the card can run it. Off until chosen; costs more than FSR 3.1 (RX 7900 XT at 3440x1440: 47 fps in Quality vs 51 with FSR 3.1). |
gpl = 1 | Turns graphics pipeline libraries back on. Since v0.8.0 they are off by default with AMD’s Windows driver for RDNA 2 and older, so the game should no longer end (code 71) when an enemy is attacked or killed; new things can appear some frames late instead. |
mesh_fallback = auto | v0.8.0 fallback for GPUs without mesh shaders (compute passes plus an ordinary draw); slower than real mesh shaders and not yet played on such a card. |
debug_menu = 1 | v0.8.0 debug menu on F9 (flags, teleport, cutscenes, world, memory). Changing flags or memory can break a save, so keep a copy first. |
frame_hold_ms = 120 | Holds the previous frame for up to 120 ms when a newly encountered pipeline is still linking on worker threads, preventing single black or unlit frames (set 0 for old behavior). |
pace_smooth = 1 | Smooths frame delivery when frames arrive early (waits until 7/8 of recent interval, reducing frame-time variance to ~3 ms; automatically off during frame generation). |
replay_async = 0 | GPU frame prep on its own thread (off by default; gives 15–18% higher FPS in villages/graveyards, with shader constants copied immediately on hand-off). |
cache_die = 1 | Pins the game to the larger-cache CCD on two-die AMD Ryzen X3D processors (set 0 to disable). |
prompts = steamdeck | Forces Steam Deck button prompts (Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo and keyboard prompts are also built in). |
ds3 = 1 | Reads DualShock 3 controllers directly on Windows when no XInput driver presents them. |
microphone = 0 | Disables the default microphone input if needed. |
What changed in NX2navi v0.8.0 and earlier releases
v0.8.0(Nov 11, 2026): fewer hitches in the seconds after entering an area (Kakariko → Hyrule Field on an RTX 5090: 1,374 ms → 115 ms lost after the load) and no more 418 ms stall entering Kokiri Forest; more frames on NVIDIA (RTX 5090 at 1440p: Kakariko 145–149 fps vs 119, the Market 177 vs 147, Hyrule Field by day 109 vs 91); about a fifth more frames in open areas on AMD (RX 7900 XT: 53 vs 45 fps in Hyrule Field) from batched visibility queries; AMD FSR 4 upscaling and an optional FSR 4 frame-generation library; a fallback for GPUs without mesh shaders; an F9 debug menu; co-op over the internet as a hidden beta (needs a relay server you run); a new HDR tone mapping; direct mouse camera on 1.1.1; Add to Steam and a custom launcher color scheme. Fixes one-frame lighting flashes near the Market gate, occasional black frames with FSR, pale ground patches and missing hair after hours of play, white spots with DLSS/DLAA, black-and-white blocks on AMD RX 5000/6000, and a code 71 crash on AMD RX 6000 and older when enemies are hit (graphics pipeline libraries now off by default there). Changed: lazy write-back is off by default again on AMD’s Windows driver. Known issues per the notes: FSR 4, its frame generation, the AMD-only fixes and the mesh shader fallback were not run on their target cards before release; integrated AMD GPUs can fail at the title screen; nothing in the release was run on Linux by the developers.v0.7.1(Nov 10, 2026): lazy GPU write-back (wb_lazy = 1) is now enabled by default on Windows after fixing the signal-ordering race that caused single-frame lighting flickers (0 flicker frames in 1,800 tested), boosting Hyrule Field on an RTX 5090 (DLSS Performance) from 65 to ~90 fps; ahead-of-time multi-threaded pipeline linking cuts the worst frame when walking into Kokiri Forest for the first time from 434 ms to 89 ms; adds automatic Texture detail (Full on 10 GB+, Reduced on 8 GB, Low on ≤6 GB) and reserves up to 50% VRAM for vertex/index/storage buffers on 6 GB cards (fixing 5–13 fps drops on RTX 3060 Laptop); fixes DLAA output in gameplay and 1080p DLSS/FSR render scales; logs a warning when NVIDIA’s driver shader cache is too small (set Shader Cache Size → Unlimited in NVIDIA Control Panel if every start stutters).v0.7.0(Nov 10, 2026): first release with the Linuxx86_64.AppImageand Steam Deck profile; adds DLSS Multi Frame Generation (2x/3x/4x), save export/import ZIPs, launcher customization (6 color schemes, backgrounds, game sound effects), anisotropic texture filtering, AMD dual-CCD X3D cache-die pinning, ~1.6 GiB lower VRAM usage from the title screen on, and faster town texture table lookups.v0.6.1&v0.6.0(Nov 9, 2026): background update downloads and incremental rebuilds; restored Navi’s glowing orb and fixed black/white blocks on AMD Radeon RX 5000/6000 GPUs by preserving shader NaN/infinity results; fixed RTX 4090/5090/5080/5070 Ti area-load device-lost crashes; added Xbox/PlayStation/keyboard button prompts, HDR tone mapper, Discord Rich Presence, DualShock 3 support, and DLSS Frame Generation with Reflex.v0.5.0&v0.4.0(Nov 8, 2026): initial public releases fixing Kokiri Forest white/yellow fog haze, flickering white grass flowers, and stretched tree columns.

Recommended controllers for PC & Deck
All four Ocarina of Time PC ports use SDL3/SDL2 controller input. A gamepad with 6-axis gyro or drift-free TMR sticks gives the best experience for bow/slingshot aiming, Ocarina notes and Z-targeting:

Frequently asked questions
What is NX2navi?
NX2navi (tangerineturtle1/NX2navi) is a static recompilation of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Nintendo Switch 2 (game version 1.1.1, program 0400486024DEC000) into a native x86-64 application for Windows and Linux with a Vulkan renderer. It builds the game locally on your PC from your own .nup dump in 10 to 25 minutes. The latest release is v0.8.0 (November 11, 2026).
Which NX2navi file do I download?
On Windows, download only NX2navi-Setup-0.8.0.exe (136.9 MB) and run it next to your .nup dump. The other files in the release (NX2navi-app-*.zip, NX2navi-runtime-*.zip and NX2navi-update.json) are used by the launcher’s automatic self-updater and do not need to be downloaded manually. On Linux, download NX2navi-Linux-0.8.0-x86_64.AppImage.
How is NX2navi different from Hookshot and Ocarina Recomp?
All three recompile the 2026 Switch 2 edition of Ocarina of Time for PC, but NX2navi builds in 10–25 minutes (faster than Hookshot’s ~40 min and Ocarina Recomp’s 30–120 min), includes native NVIDIA DLSS (DLAA to Ultra Performance) and DLSS Multi Frame Generation (2x–4x on RTX 40/50 GPUs with Reflex pacing, 2x–6x on Linux), AMD FSR 3.1 upscaling and frame generation on any GPU (plus AMD FSR 4 upscaling on Radeon RX 6000/7000/9000 since v0.8.0), native HDR + SDR tone mapping up to 10,000 nits, Xbox/PlayStation/Steam Deck/keyboard button prompts drawn into the game at build time, Discord Rich Presence, a restylable launcher with sound effects, and lazy GPU write-back (wb_lazy = 1) that reached ~90 fps in Hyrule Field on an RTX 5090 in v0.7.1 (kept on for NVIDIA, off by default on AMD since v0.8.0).
Does NX2navi work on 6 GB or 8 GB GPUs?
Yes. Release v0.7.1 added an automatic Texture detail setting (texture_detail in nx2navi.ini): Full on 10 GB+ cards, Reduced on 8 GB cards (omits the largest mip level of big surface textures), and Low on 6 GB and smaller cards (omits the two largest mip levels) while keeping UI art and shading maps sharp. It also reserves up to half of VRAM for vertex, index and storage buffers on 6 GB cards, fixing the 5–13 fps bus-read slowdown reported on RTX 3060 Laptop GPUs. Textures stay BC3-compressed unless the PC has 20 GiB VRAM and 48 GiB RAM. Since v0.8.0, Texture detail picks one step lower on a card under 20 GB where ASTC textures stay uncompressed.
Does NX2navi run on Linux and Steam Deck?
Since v0.7.0, NX2navi attaches a Linux x86_64.AppImage with an install, update and play window, DLSS 2x–6x frame generation on NVIDIA drivers, and a dedicated Steam Deck profile (prompts = steamdeck, 4 virtual cores, BC3 ASTC textures, and shorter spin hand-off). Note from the developer: Linux changes come from contributor pull requests and are cross-built automatically by CI.
How do I update NX2navi without rebuilding from scratch?
If you already have v0.6.0 or newer installed, open the NX2navi launcher: it offers the new version, updates itself, keeps the compiled game and prepared shaders, and compiles only what changed. From v0.5.0 the same works, and Rebuild the Game on the launcher home compiles the game again for your CPU.
