You are legally required to dump your games from your Nintendo Switch. To do so, please follow our in-depth [Quickstart Guide](https://yuzu-emu.org/help/quickstart/).
### **Can I use a Mariko Switch/Red Box/HAC-001(-01) or a Switch Lite for the dumping process?**
### **Can I use a Mariko Switch/Switch Lite/OLED Model for the dumping process?**
Yes, but support for those models is beyond our scope since they require hardware-based modifications to load custom firmware. We still recommend obtaining a Switch console that is vulnerable to the `fusée-gelée` RCM exploit, as it's still the most accessible way for jailbreaking. To check if your Switch is hackable using this exploit, visit [Is My Switch Patched?](https://ismyswitchpatched.com) and enter your console’s serial number.
No, since the Mariko Switch and the Switch Lite are both patched from the fusée gelée RCM exploit. Currently, there is no widely accessible method that allows the dumping of system files and games required for yuzu from those consoles. To check if your Switch is hackable, visit https://damota.me/ssnc/checker and test your Switch’s serial number.

You are likely experiencing Shader Caching. Shaders are small programs running on a graphic card, responsible for rendering graphics like terrain, explosions, characters, etc. Since a PC cannot directly execute switch shaders, It first has to translate them to a format a PC can understand. This translation process is time-consuming and you'll notice it in two ways:

Vulkan and OpenGL have separate caches, but different OpenGL backends share the same cache. This means that on Nvidia you can build up shaders with less stutter on GLASM, then use GLSL for more performance.
