  • Ryujinx

    Experimental Nintendo Switch Emulator written in C#

  • 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)

  • dynarmic

    Discontinued An ARM dynamic recompiler.

  • They're probably referring to dynarmic: https://github.com/merryhime/dynarmic

  • fujihack

    Reverse engineering Fujifilm firmware

  • WorkOS
