Yuzu Toolbox (previously known as PineappleEA-GUI) is an all in one app for installing Yuzu-EA, managing saves and shader caches, and mod management. The app is entirely open source and easily available on Itch as well!

Big update time!:

This update brings a few minor bug fixes and an updated game index, in addition to some QOL changes such as a “Delete all mods” button, which will delete all of the mods for the currently selected game. The update also brings the ability to set the desired executable name upon install. A lot of the multi-threaded aspects had to be tweaked to work with new thread safety in Godot 4.1, but the app now supports it! This update also brings about a highly requested feature, auto-updating. By launching the app with --launcher or setting your shortcut to use auto updating launching the app will check your Yuzu version, and if old update it before launching Yuzu and closing itself.

Changes

  • Added missing titles from Title Keys site
  • Updated to Godot 4.1
  • Added Executable name parameter for setting custom executable name upon install
  • Added clear all mods button (clears mod folder for selected game)
  • Added launcher mode (updates Yuzu, launches it then closes itself)
  • Add auto updater parameter (If enabled makes it so the created shortcut will launch the program in launcher mode)
  • Bug fixes / Cleanup

Features:

    Personally I don’t think so, it’s related to modding and emulating Nintendo games, which is directly associated with piracy, and it’s also a simple way to mod TOTK which has gained so much traction lately to the point of banning an entire subreddit.

    But you could send a direct message to one of the mods in the community to see if they approve the post or if it could be considered offtopic.

    And by the way, I agree with you packaging it as a flatpak (where I find it funny, because it could be considered a grey area in relation to piracy, because there are emulators like Yuzu and RPCS3, and even a Minecraft launcher that doesn’t need an account to play, check out their FAQ on their website), but I understand that flatpak packaging is a pain because of the process it takes, so maybe for now you could aim a bit more to use appimages.
