Nintendo Switch simulator Ryujinx now adapts to Apple M-series chip Mac

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen lastyou for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, November 28, Ryujinx is an open source Nintendo Switch simulator written in C #. On November 26, the Ryujinx blog announced that the simulator has been adapted to Apple's M-series chip Mac.

(using Switch simulator does not mean piracy, and CTOnews.com does not recommend copying and spreading pirated game ROM.)

Ryujinx officials say Apple's M-series chip Mac devices can achieve a more native simulation experience than most game PC, mainly due to the fact that Apple's M-series chips share ARM collaborative features with Switch. At present, Ryujinx supports Windows, macOS and Linux platforms.

CTOnews.com learned that Ryujinx supports macOS 12 "Monterey" and macOS 13 "Ventura" versions, and specifically optimizes Apple's M-series chips:

ARM Hypervisor-allows native ARMv8 code to be executed without conversion. The overhead cost of the simulation game code is almost completely eliminated, making full use of the potential of the chip.

ARM64 JIT-ARM support has been added to the CPU JIT recompiler "ARMeilleure" for situations where the above hypervisor does not work, and JIT performance has much greater potential than regular x86 CPU.

For rare games that cannot use hypervisors, a manual option to use JIT is provided.
