The installation guide, which can be found in English on the official website, is divided into two sections: macOS 12 “Monterey” and macOS 13 “Ventura” or later versions. Not all games have been tested, but a large part is fully playable, such as Mario Kart 8 or Pokémon. General performance, stability and graphics issues may occur.Although not as prominent as OpenGL’s, it is noticeable. Shader stutter is amplified by the necessary translation between Vulkan’s SPIR-V and Metal’s MSL shaders via MoltenVK.Forcing Ryujinx to work through Rosetta could also be a potential option, although it’s something the developers haven’t tested much. Manually forcing the ARM64 JIT may allow these games to start. The ARM64 hypervisor does not work in all titles, including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Experimental squared! As such, there will be issues. Ryujinx is an experimental emulator, and this is our first release on a completely different platform and architecture. If you’d like to support us in achieving our goals on Windows, Linux, and now macOS, then consider supporting us on Patreon and letting us know how it’s going on Discord. We are committed to writing an accurate, stable and high-performance Nintendo Switch emulator without any hacks or shortcuts. Well with the move to Apple Silicon, the performance soars and allows you to play a ton of Switch titles, as long as you have purchased them beforehand. The latest Ryujinx version 1.1.394 is fully compatible with new Macs so but also includes LDN functionality which allows users to play with other Ryujinx users and those running the Custom Firmware on a Switch console, via some dedicated servers, a LAN connection or the ldn_mitm module.Īlthough the emulator supported Apple’s macOS systems for a while, it only supported Intel models.
