Why we think so
0 points against it and 5 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
This is the Ryujinx Nintendo Switch emulator, a legitimate open-source project. All 17 major antivirus engines report clean.
The file is a legitimate, widely-distributed emulator archive with zero malicious detections from major antivirus engines. No complete contacted-host reputation result was available, and the contacted IP is a public DNS service. The 536 unique submitters and 'widely seen but new' prevalence classification confirm this is a known, legitimate release. Files it created are all safe or unknown, with no malicious verdicts. The absence of any major consensus on malware, combined with the file's legitimate identity and benign behaviour in the test run, strongly indicates false-positive rule triggers.
What We Detected
This is ryujinx-canary-1.3.308-win_x64.zip, the Ryujinx Nintendo Switch emulator. However, all 17 major antivirus engines (Kaspersky, BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Avira, Fortinet, F-Secure, Emsisoft, Ikarus, GData, DrWeb, Avast, AVG) report the file as clean.
Threat Behavior
The rule-based alerts are false positives. The 'direct-IP a control server' contact is to 162.159.36.2, which belongs to Cloudflare's public DNS resolver (1.1.1.1 range), not a malicious remote control server. The file writes to Windows Error Reporting directories, which is expected crash-dump behaviour from a legitimate application.
Prevalence & Context
This archive has been submitted 580 times by 536 unique sources and is classified as 'widely seen but new' — consistent with a widely-distributed legitimate software release. Ryujinx is an open-source project hosted on GitHub and is well-known in the emulation community. The files it created (10 inspected) include 4 cached verdicts all rated 'safe' with scores 88–92, and 6 unknown; none are malicious.
What To Do Now
This file is safe to use. The rule-based alerts are benign false positives triggered by legitimate emulator code patterns. If you are interested in Nintendo Switch emulation, Ryujinx is a reputable open-source project. No action is required.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- No complete contacted-host reputation result was available, and the contacted IP is a public DNS resolver, not a remote control server. The rule-based rules fired on legitimate patterns.
- File is unsigned — but open-source software distributed via GitHub is typically unsigned. The lack of a signature does not indicate malice when combined with zero major detections and legitimate software identity.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
