dolphin VS Ryujinx

Dolphin ships with a bunch of keys in the source code[0]. So do almost every other emulators for any console from 6/7th gen consoles (ps3, xbox360, gamecube), see delroth's post on the matter here[1]. It's really not that simple - jurisdiction matters a lot, and also Nintendo's own priorities.

GameCube/Wii: Dolphin is the best GameCube/Wii emulator in my opinion: Download Dolphin

Dolphin has actually had this for their macOS builds for over a year now.

Though these consoles did not support stereoscopy originally, the Dolphin emulator can add it and output SBS. My experience was a bit mixed. Your mileage may vary.

You install Dolphin emulator, go into settings and make a folder for your games where it says "directory", and then you just stick your game in the folder. That's pretty much all there is to it, that's why I think Dolphin is the best emulator.

Platform: Gamecube. The remaster scrapped the local co-op entirely (booo). This one is a bit tricky but works perfectly once setup properly in Dolphin.

Their C# JIT [1] generates x86_64 or ARM native code. This is why it's fast.

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)

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?

Same as previous post. Latest version did change things related to hashing https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx/commit/58907e2c290473326e5ab74bdfe1429b8a518ba4 so probably bug?

Did you try the build in here: https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx/pull/4899

As it’s emulator, you can’t be sure about games performance as a whole. Some perform better, some - worse, some won’t run at all. You can have a quick look at this video for example https://youtu.be/9XyjErqV3pI Then you should check if the games you’re interested in are considered playable https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx/wiki/ Actually, there is another one emulator Yuzu and some games may perform better with it. BTW I have a bit better 5500u processor with 16 dual-channel. It performs quite well even with aaa games till 2020. But there are also so many good old games :) Currently I’m playing Warcraft 3 and it still looks and plays very well.
