Is ryujinx.modfyp.com legit or a scam?
This site promotes a non-existent Android version of the Ryujinx emulator, using a discontinued brand to distribute potentially malicious APK files.
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.

MT Intelligence
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.
Web Research Findings
Our live research agent queries scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, news coverage, and general web search for ryujinx.modfyp.com, then cross-checks business-registration records and look-alike domain patterns. Everything below is pulled from what it actually found.
- 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.

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.
- OpenReport 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.
