# 🏝️ tomodachi-pc - Bring your island life to PC [](https://github.com/tanmay002r/tomodachi-pc/releases) ## 🚀 Getting Started This guide helps you download and run tomodachi-pc on your Windows computer. You do not need to write any code or use a command prompt. Just follow the steps below. ## 💻 System Requirements Your computer needs these minimum specs to run tomodachi-pc smoothly: - **Operating System:** Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit) - **Processor:** Intel Core i5-8400 / AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or better - **Memory:** 8 GB RAM - **Graphics:** NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 / AMD Radeon RX 580 (or equivalent) with 4 GB VRAM - **Storage:** 10 GB free space (more for saves and texture packs) - **Other:** A valid copy of Tomodachi Life game files (not included). You must own the game and dump your own ROM. ## 📥 Download and Install 1. **Visit the download page:** Go to [the latest release page](https://github.com/tanmay002r/tomodachi-pc/releases) by clicking the large green button at the top of this page. 2. **Choose the right file:** Look for a file named `tomodachi-pc-vX.X.X-windows.zip` (where `X.X.X` is the version number). Download that file. It is the portable package. 3. **Extract the zip file:** Once downloaded, right‑click the zip file and select **Extract All**. Choose a folder like `C:\tomodachi-pc`. Do not use folders with spaces or special characters. 4. **Run the application:** Inside the extracted folder, you will see a file called `tomodachi-pc.exe`. Double‑click it to start the program. 5. **First launch setup:** The program will ask you to locate your Tomodachi Life game ROM (XCI or NSP file) and the emulator core (Ryujinx). Follow the on‑screen instructions. If you do not have the ROM, please dump it from your own Nintendo Switch or 3DS system. ## ⚙️ Setup and Configuration After the first launch, you can adjust settings to improve your experience. ### Video Settings - Open **Settings > Graphics**. - Turn on **60fps Mod** for smoother gameplay. - Set **Custom Resolution** to match your monitor (e.g., 1920x1080). - Enable **HD Texture Pack** for sharper graphics (requires download – the program will prompt you). ### Controls - You can remap keyboard and mouse controls in **Settings > Controls**. - For the best experience, connect an Xbox or PlayStation controller. The program detects it automatically. ### Mii Sharing - Use the built‑in **Mii QR Code scanner** to import or export your Miis. Open the Mii editor and click the QR icon. - Share your island code online with other players. Your island code is shown on the main menu. ## ✨ Features - **Tomodachi Life on PC** – Play the full Life Simulation island game on your Windows computer. - **Ryujinx Emulator Integration** – Uses the best Nintendo Switch emulator under the hood. No separate install needed. - **60fps Mod** – Enjoy double the original frame rate for super smooth movement. - **HD Texture Pack** – Replace low‑resolution textures with crisp, high‑definition ones. - **Custom Resolution** – Play in 4K, 1440p, or any resolution your monitor supports. - **Mii QR Code Support** – Scan and share your Miis with friends using QR codes. - **Save Editor** – Edit your island saves without leaving the game (advanced users). - **Automatic Updates** – The app checks for new versions and can update itself. - **Portable & Lightweight** – No installation required. Runs directly from a USB drive. ## 🔧 Troubleshooting **The app does not start.** Make sure you have the latest graphics drivers from NVIDIA or AMD. Also check that your Windows is up to date (Windows Update). If the problem continues, run `tomodachi-pc.exe` as Administrator (right‑click > Run as administrator). **The game runs slowly.** Lower the **Custom Resolution** in Settings > Graphics. Turn off the HD Texture Pack if you have a lower‑end GPU. Close other programs to free up RAM. **I see a black screen.** Press Alt+Enter to switch between fullscreen and windowed mode. If still black, go to `Settings > Graphics` and disable **Vulkan** then select **OpenGL** (or vice versa). Restart the app. **My controller does not work.** Open **Settings > Controls** and click **Detect Controller**. If it is not recognized, make sure your controller is connected via USB before starting the app. For Bluetooth, pair it first in Windows. **Where do I get the game ROM?** You must dump your own Tomodachi Life game from a Nintendo Switch or 3DS you own. We cannot provide ROMs. Search online for "how to dump Switch game carts" for legal methods. ## ❓ Frequently Asked Questions **Can I use this with a touchscreen?** Yes. The app supports touch input. Tap to click, pinch to zoom on the island map. **Does it work on Windows 7 or 8?** No. Only Windows 10 and 11 are supported. **Will my saves from the original console transfer?** You can copy your save file from your Nintendo Switch or 3DS and place it in the `saves` folder inside the tomodachi-pc directory. The app will recognize it. **Is online multiplayer supported?** This version does not include online multiplayer. You can share Miis and island codes locally. **How do I update to a newer version?** Download the latest zip from the [releases page](https://github.com/tanmay002r/tomodachi-pc/releases) and replace all files in your existing folder. Your saves and settings will not be affected. ## 🤝 Contributing We welcome help from anyone, even if you are not a programmer.
