Ryujinx emulator for Mac OS
INFO
Ryujinx is an open-source Nintendo Switch emulator compatible with Mac OS, created by gdkchan and written in C#.
This emulator aims at providing excellent accuracy and performance, a user-friendly interface, and consistent builds.
The name Ryujinx is based on the name “Ryujin.” In other words, a name for a Mythical (Sea-God) Dragon.
The name stems from Ryu (as already explained), then RyuJIT; which is the codename for the JIT compiler for .NET Core.
The NX part of the name is from the Codename of the Switch itself.
