Yuzu

Installation​

caution

Do not install any other mods with Luminescent Platinum! You will risk breaking your game!

  1. Download Ryujinx instead unless you absolutely cannot run Ryujinx. Yuzu has incredible difficulty with running Luminescent 2.0F, and many bugs occur that we cannot help fix.
  2. Set up your personal copy of Brilliant Diamond 1.3.0 in Yuzu. When setting it up, make sure you have files for both the game and the update — there is no such thing as a single file that runs as "Brilliant Diamond 1.3.0".
    • Shining Pearl is not supported.
    • Any other update is not supported.
    • Yuzu Title Bar
    • Yuzu Menu
  3. Download the mod from here.
  4. Right click Brilliant Diamond in Yuzu.
  5. Click "Open Mod Data Location".
  6. Extract the contents of the mod's zip into that opened location (i.e., "Luminescent" that contains the exefs and romfs).
  7. Choose graphics settings between OpenGL and Vulkan depending on your computer, and CPU accuracy to "accurate".
    • If Vulkan crashes the game on evolution or eggs hatching, you need to update Yuzu.
    • "Auto" CPU accuracy will cause things to slide out of place and force doors open, rendering them inoperable and the player unable to continue.

Updating the Mod​

Back up your saves (right click on the game and click "Open Save Data Location" to copy those files elsewhere) just in case of any potential issue. Delete the old romfs and exefs files. Follow the install instructions again with the new files.

Notes​

  • THIS IS A ROMHACK, NOT AN INDEPENDENT GAME. YOU MUST ALREADY OWN BRILLIANT DIAMOND 1.3.0 TO INSTALL THIS.
  • Currently, only Brilliant Diamond is supported.
  • You must be on update 1.3.0 (Not 1.1.3).

Is it working?​

If you are starting a new game, the language select screen should have a gold background, and all languages except English should be crossed out. Make sure to double check that the EXP Share is off as soon as you have more than one Pokémon. If it isn't, you have a bad install. Once that's been done, you can turn it on if you so desire from the computer in a Pokémon Center.

If you have a currently running game, the Pokémon party screen should have extra options for nicknaming/changing moves of Pokémon. You can also try the EXP Share check.
