is it possible to play tomodachi life on my laptop?

Hi! I really need help because I’m losing my mind over this.

Recently there has been a hype around this game and I really want to try it out. I am trying to play Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream on my Windows laptop, but the game instantly crashes on every launch. I’ve seen tons of people running it on normal Windows laptops and even on Macs, so I don’t understand why it refuses to work on mine.

Here are my specs:

  • CPU: Snapdragon X Elite (ARM64)
  • GPU: Adreno
  • OS: Windows 11 ARM
  • Emulator: Ryujinx ARM64 build

Every time I try to launch the game, Ryujinx closes immediately with no error message whatsoever.

I tried to find out the problem with AI lol and it mainly said these:

  • The Snapdragon X Elite uses ARM64, not x86_64 like normal PCs.
  • The Adreno GPU has incomplete Vulkan/OpenGL support, and apparently can’t compile the shaders this modded game needs.
  • Ryujinx ARM64 is still experimental and many games don’t work on it.
  • I can’t use an external GPU because ARM Windows doesn’t support NVIDIA/AMD drivers.

So my question is if there is ANY workaround to run this game on my laptop or is it completely impossible?

Thanks in advance!
