These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence
The site claims to provide an Android APK for Ryujinx, a Nintendo Switch emulator that was officially discontinued in 2024 and never had an official Android release. Our research indicates that modfyp.com has been flagged by security researchers for distributing potentially unwanted programs and malware through deceptive redirects. While the domain itself is over three years old, it operates as a hub for modified and pirated software, which carries a high risk of infection. Users on community forums have reported technical issues and suspicious behavior after running files from this network. The lack of any verifiable business registration or contact information further reduces its credibility.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page is designed to look like a legitimate app store, featuring reviews, version numbers, and detailed descriptions for 'Ryujinx APK v1.3.48'. It uses technical jargon about 'customizable graphics' and 'plugin support' to appear authentic, despite the software being a known impossibility for the Android platform.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted behind a common content delivery network and uses a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. While the technical setup is functional, the lack of any corporate transparency—such as a physical address or support email—is a significant red flag for a site distributing executable files.

Domain History

The parent domain, modfyp.com, has been active for over 1,200 days. This longevity is often used by APK mirror sites to build a false sense of authority, even when the specific content being hosted is deceptive or harmful.

Web Reputation

Our intelligence stack shows mixed reputation signals. While some automated trust aggregators give it a neutral score based on age, security researchers have specifically labeled the site as a source of redirects and potentially harmful software. There are no positive endorsements from the official emulation community.

Key findings
7 headline facts from open-web research
  • ryujinx.modfyp.com is a subdomain of modfyp.com, a site specializing in modified APKs, game mods, and emulators, with copyright dated 2019-2025.
  • The page promotes "Ryujinx APK v1.3.48" as a Nintendo Switch emulator for Android with high compatibility; however, the original Ryujinx project was discontinued after a 2024 agreement with Nintendo and has no official Android release.
  • Legitimate Ryujinx forks (Ryubing/Ryubing on GitHub, ryujinx.app) provide PC builds; Android ports are unofficial community efforts hosted on GitHub or trusted repos, not modfyp.com.
  • modfyp.com has mixed signals: Scamadviser rates it average/good trust and "not a scam," but SensorsTechForum labels it a potential scam site/redirect/PUP that may harbor malware via ads, pop-ups, or deceptive downloads (Oct 2024 article).
  • Reddit users have questioned modfyp.com safety for APKs/mods and reported issues like visual glitches after downloading an EXE from the site; one thread on r/ApksApps received no conclusive safe confirmation.
  • Domain age of 1214 days (~3.3 years) aligns with modfyp.com's history; no specific VirusTotal or Kaspersky detections directly tied to ryujinx.modfyp.com in results, but general caution advised for APK sites.
  • No official business registration found; site uses standard disclaimers claiming logos belong to respective owners.

Impersonation / typosquat
Clone of ryujinx.org or ryujinx.app

The site claims to offer Ryujinx APK v1.3.48 for Android. Official Ryujinx project discontinued in 2024 with no official Android builds; forks exist on GitHub (Ryubing, Kenji-NX) but legitimate Android APKs are not hosted on modfyp.com-style APK sites.

Research summary
Narrative write-up from our AI analyst, grounded on the facts above
Our research found that the original Ryujinx project was shut down in 2024 and never released an official Android app. Reports on SensorsTechForum and Reddit link this domain to deceptive downloads and potentially unwanted programs. While some automated sites list it as 'safe' due to its age, the emulation community generally considers these APK mirrors to be high-risk sources for malware.

  • AI analyst tagged this as a brand / clone-site impersonation.
  • Clustered with known brand-impersonation infrastructure.

Possible brand impersonation

This page is styled as a known brand but is not the brand's real site.

  • Treat ryujinx.modfyp.com as unverified

    Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.

  • Go to the brand's real site directly

    Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.

  • Never download or sign in here

    Even if the page "just" offers a download or a giveaway, impersonation pages frequently deliver malware or set up follow-up phishing. Assume anything accepted from this site is hostile.

  • Report the impersonation to the brand

    Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review marked ryujinx.modfyp.com as suspicious. Several warning signs were detected; it may still turn out legitimate, but you should verify it through independent channels before trusting it with money or credentials.
  • ryujinx.modfyp.com currently scores 50/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend caution. Verify the site through independent channels before entering credentials or money.
  • Yes. ryujinx.modfyp.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 66 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • ryujinx.modfyp.com is 3.3 years old, registered on 3/4/2023 through NameCheap, Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • No. All 98 antivirus engines in our malware network report ryujinx.modfyp.com as clean.
  • No. ryujinx.modfyp.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • ryujinx.modfyp.com resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on July 1, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around ryujinx.modfyp.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
