citra VS Ryujinx

https://citra-emu.org I think

A quick google search shows that you can try building citra from source using these instructions. If you're not familiar with using homebrew and cmake, you might try this guide instead. Comments online seem to indicate that people have done this successfully on m1 macs, but ymmv.

As I said, 3DS is not an easy system to emulate (needs a powerful computer, a decrypted rom or 3DS decryption files), and RetroArch is a bit advanced for those new to emulation, so I repeat that the Citra standalone version can be easier (you will also need the decrypted rom or decryption files there). That's why I said before that maybe an older system is better to start learning, in them you won't need it, but it's your choice. Again, search for videos or feel free to ask, if I know how I'll try to help you.

Having https://citra-emu.org/ installed to quickly test Homebrew on your PC without copying to the 3DS (FTP, SD card or loader) can speed up code, build, test cycles and reduce the need for testing on real hardware on every build.

I prefer playing the game on the real console but if you have a really good mobile controller and an android phone, Lemudroid is an amazing option to play DS games. For 3DS games and RTDX, you'd better off play them on a real 3DS (which can still play DS games) and Switch although Citra and Yuzu can play them with reasonably good performance.

Pretty much all you have to do is get the most recent build of Citra from the Discover store in desktop, as Citra runs natively on Linux. From there, set up the emulator in game mode (by adding it as a non-Steam game in desktop mode) with controls that are to your liking. Acquire the ROM you need in some manner (preferably in a legal way), patch it on the Deck or on a device of choice, and load it into your Deck to run. If you really want to go the extra mile, you can also set up a program such as Steam Rom Manager, which will allow you to automatically boot into a game or your liking via your Steam library in both desktop and game mode.

EPSXE or Bizhawk for MGS1 https://www.epsxe.com/ https://tasvideos.org/Bizhawk word of warning for Bizhawk. It requires quite a bit of setup to work properly, especially since MGS1 is two discs. PCSX2 for MGS2 and 3 https://pcsx2.net/ Optionally, you can use Citra to play the 3DS version of 3, but not recommended unless you can make a dump of your own MGS3D cartridge. https://citra-emu.org/ I will not link to any of the ROMs however.

If it's fixed it'll most likely be mentioned in the changelog, so you can keep an eye on that.

This Ryujinx version

The other way around is probably not possible because of this issue here: https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx/issues/3300

Switch Sports works only on Nvidia and only on this build. And even then, some things don't work, so don't expect it to be playable yet.

Not familiar at all with this codebase, but one thing to note is that it does make heavy use of the unsafe keyword^.

Best you can do is give the Vulkan Build a try or test if Yuzu runs better

Windows? Ryujinx still has no Vulkan in the Mainline Version and AMDs OpenGL Driver suck on Windows.You could try the experimental Vulkan Build or Yuzu. Also Dual Booting with Linux would be an option, but I wouldnt do that just for one app.

There's a version of ryujinx that (sort of) works? Needs Nvidia gfx, ignore missing services. It lets you play (for instance) a round of bowling etcs, then crashes. Also crashes when you open the help (options) thing. I think the 1.10 update requires 1.4.1.1+ firmware, too?
