Nintendo Switch Emulator: Progress Report December 2023
Their C# JIT [1] generates x86_64 or ARM native code. This is why it's fast.
1: https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx/tree/master/src/ARMeilleu...
This is (I believe) the PR that fixed this specific issue: https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx/pull/5933
In short, no - from my understanding, it does actually fix the underlying issue, rather than special-casing the game. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few edge cases like that which are special-cased, particularly for older games (when "abuse" of CPU/GPU quirks was more common to eke out extra performance).

RyujinX – Open Source Nintendo Switch Emulator
This isn't true anymore. It was their first approach, but since then they have switched to their own JIT recompiler. You can read their rationale here: https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx/pull/693
For the MacOS port, they explain in the blog post you linked that they use an hypervisor, meaning the original game binary runs untranslated. (with the option to use an ARM-to-ARM JIT)

[GUIDE] - Build your own nightly Version of Ryujinx
Btw. If you wann see the RoadMap of this Project, click here.
Thanks for the guide. I am new to Ryujinx, but is there a version that runs Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak? I searched on reddit and github but I got lost on the part where gdkchan tried to solve the issue here. Maybe it doesn't work on Mac?
- Any way to fix this in totk, it's like this all over the depths making this part basically unplayable (MacBook Air m2, system version 16.0.0 and totk ver. 1.1.1

Cool games that run on macOS
There is no need to do that anymore! You can go on github and download the latest build directly. Download it from here if you want better stability, if you want better FPS download it from here in the “github-actions” comment under “Experimental GUI (Avalonia)”

Water Flickering Fix 1.0, fixes the flickering/fighting water on Ryu
That wasn't a full fix for the depth bias issues. A lot of investigation has been going on in PR 5012 (https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx/pull/5012). The game code that was breaking was found but the root cause of what the emulator is doing wrong hasn't been identified yet. The person who is doing the main investigation into the issue is doing this in his spare time and hasn't had an update in a while.
They merged a PR with a fix but only for vulkan https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx/pull/5027 , does this works with opengl? also what is the low vram build?

why can't console games be ran natively?
These projects are called compatibility layers, or "translation layers" sometimes. I think XQEmu (OG XBox on PC) works the same.

QEMU Version 6.0.0 Released
Yes:
Are both original Xbox emulators built off of QEMU. I've only used Xemu, but performance was pretty good for the games I tried on it (it doesn't have a way to upscale rendering yet though).

Morrowind Rebooted the Original Xbox Without You Ever Noticing
It's indeed a bit like a kexec.
On system initialization, kernel routines are copied into RAM by the bootloader[1]. Executables run in ring 0, and have a jump table to call kernel routines in their own address space (IIRC) [2].
As such, loading any executable counts as a soft reboot.
Also, there is a functioning open source emulator, Xqemu [3] (and its sibling/fork focused on speed and compatibility more than accuracy, xemu [4])
I recommend reading "17 mistakes Microsoft made in the Xbox security system", which is very informative [5].

Experimental Nintendo Switch Emulator written in C#
There is one emulator currently that does do that, the "XQEMU" emulator for the original Xbox https://xqemu.com/
It's in its infant stages at the moment according to the "Emulation General" wiki and focuses heavily on "accuracy" over performance
Other emulators such as CXBX-Reloaded have made larger strides, currently emulating roughly 10% of the software library
It's also worth stating, while the Xbox seems like an "easy" target, being based on an ia-32 (Pentium III) PC with an Nvidia GeForce chip (somewhere between a Geforce 2 and 3 at the time) it is an absolutely monstrous beast with minimal documentation about its hardware and numerous "gotchas"
It also has a very small library of 'exclusive' content which detracts from gaining many developers
