release-channel-master VS Ryujinx

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the difference between this and the macos builds listed here?

You are supposed to use the latest version for this game (or the buffer mirrors PR), not macos1.

This is a complete fabrication. Ryujinx can emulate TOTK very well on Windows and Linux, but the mac version of ryu is highly experimental and has significant issues particularly with TOTK. You've completely jumped the shark here, and this is kinda signaling to me where the unusually positive sentiment is coming from. I don't want to be mean, but this is getting into delusional territory. You believe what you want to believe, but this is just simply misaligned to reality. On the upside, ryujinx is pushing out macOS builds as part of their automated deployment pipeline, which you can access here: https://github.com/Ryujinx/release-channel-master/releases This doesn't mean we can just fabricate statements about TOTK running perfectly, but it is nice that they're keeping up on macOS dev. And TOTK supports the ryujinx arm hypervisor. Nevertheless, I would personally describe it as borderline unplayable due to the graphical issues (certainly wouldn't describe it as perfect ... dear lord), but granted the issues aren't extremely visible in all sections of the game, so some sections may appear to be running quite well without issues, at a glance. Still, this was a massive claim and really should have been fact checked better. Major blunder to peddle this.

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)”

Also the latest Ryujinx build already incorporated this new change: https://github.com/Ryujinx/release-channel-master/releases/tag/1.1.824 see changeling 25 May 2023.

I'm running riperiperi Riyujinx with Firmware 16.0.2 (simply go to this page scroll down to Experimental GUI (Avalonia) and download the mac os universal link)
