Not sure this is on-topic enough and maybe a bit niche, but does anyone here have experience running Animal Crossing via Ryujinx on the Steamdeck?

Just tested it and it really seems to bring the Steamdeck to its limits. Fan is running a lot, I had a crash or two as well. Kinda worried about frying my Steamdeck with this.

I checked online for performance tweaks but they mostly say that Yuzu works a bit better with the right tweaks, Ryujinx is already setup the best way but has worse performance.

Nothing that can be done or does anyone have some experience here?

Edit: Steamdeck OLED version by the way.

You need to switch the graphics backend from Vulkan to OpenGL. I'm running it really well, get the max FPS steady, and my Deck doesn't even get hot. To top it off, I have the GPU downclocked to half speed. I could downclock the CPU too, but I keep it unbound so the load times stay quick. It's the best performing Switch game I've played to date, stressing the Deck maybe half of what it's capable of.
