If you want to emulate a current console, try emulating the switch. I haven't looked into it much, but apparently it works better on modern hardware than on the switch itself. Not surprising given the switch aging hardware and power limit.

Now that you mention it, I tried that once and gave up. The amount of confusion like this makes me not want to try again (Reddit post from 4mo ago): https://www.reddit.com/r/yuzu/comments/1gkdr5x/whats_the_mos...

Seems like these projects keep getting into legal trouble, shut down, then forked.

The Switch is a mainstream-ish ARM system. IIRC it maps really well to Apple's M system.

But the supposedly working Switch emulators only have experimental Mac support at best. Also idk if the CPU arch is really the hard part in general... we never got an Xbox 360 emulator for PPC Mac ;)

I thought Ryujinx’ Mac support was great?

yes, I guess running switch games on android is like running x86 windows games on x86 linux using wine.
