Never share your dumped keys publicly.
Avoid YouTube videos that promise an “all-in-one key installer.”
Run antivirus scans on any key file you download from the internet.
Keep your Ryujinx updated – the official website (Ryujinx.org) is your only safe source for the emulator itself.

Also, remember that prod keys do not contain any personal information from your console. Dumping them from your own Switch does not risk a ban from Nintendo’s online services, provided you are careful with emuNAND.

Copy your prod.keys file directly into the system folder. Do not rename it. Problem 1: "No keys found" after placing prod

Use a legitimate emulator that doesn’t require BIOS/keys – Some open-source homebrew emulators exist for very old consoles, but not for Switch.
Stream the game – Services like NVIDIA GeForce Now (if the game is available) or a capture card from your real Switch.
