Is it possible to play burned original Xbox games with Xbox One X?
xemu is another option, if you have a Windows rig with sufficient power. Beats me as to how well Coast2Coast runs exactly, but the site boasts it to be playable at least.

Nintendo Switch Emulator: Progress Report December 2023
Their C# JIT [1] generates x86_64 or ARM native code. This is why it's fast.

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
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
- Hi everyone, I’m using ryujinx for an 8gb Ram Mac with an intel iris gpu, game runs pretty smooth but this happens with the graphics on Pokémon brilliant diamond, what could be the reason and what settings can I adjust ?

Trying to load into a save after TOTK Crashed, how do I fix it? (Im guessing the E stands for Error in the log file)
Same as previous post. Latest version did change things related to hashing https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx/commit/58907e2c290473326e5ab74bdfe1429b8a518ba4 so probably bug?

Thinking about choose Steam deck or laptop with ryzen 5 3500u
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.
