    I would just like to thank you for this video. Helped me install Ryujinx on my M3 pro MacBook Pro and I have been playing Tears of the Kingdom for the last week and I'm ready to also dive into Mario Odyssey and Legends Arceus. So far other than shaders loading for new assets the games run extremely smooth, and the MacBook screen is soooo much better than any switch, so is a great way in my opinion to play on the couch

    Thank you for this video. I was undecided if I should spend over $2000 on a MacBook Pro or just get a MacBook Air. Switch emulation will be my primary gaming source as most of my Steam library won’t run on Mac. I would like to see you test other popular Non-Nintendo Switch games to see how they run. Also maybe test some other AAA or Mac optimized indie games from Steam to see how they perform on the base M3 Air.

    • @retrotechdad
      @retrotechdad  2 місяці тому +1

      I'm glad it was helpful! I've actually been working behind the scenes on some more Macbook Air videos. I do have a Windows PC gaming video using Whisky & Crossover lined up! 🙏
      I like the way you think as well! I actually had thought about doing a video like that with Switch emulation covering games that were ported from PC and as a result are now playable on Mac because of Ryujinx.
      If you are really serious about doing a good amount of gaming on your MacBook, I'd say to at least get a model with 16GB just to future proof it. But, I've been very impressed by how much is playable with just the base M3 8GB model!

  • @firsthandturtledove9896
    @firsthandturtledove9896 Місяць тому

    Do you think there is going to be some noticable difference in terms of performance when you run Ryujinx on MacBook Air M2 "the base model" compared with the MacBook Air M3 base model?
    Btw, great video! 😊

  • @XINN1X
    @XINN1X 2 місяці тому +2

    you should do a video of gaming on macbooks with Asahi linux! It is a linux OS made for the M macbooks and you could do a video testing steam games and emulators on the macbook with linux since the SteamDeck is making linux gaming so much better. There's basically no videos on macbooks with asahi yet

    m3 pro here, runs well enough but the input lag is a little too much at 20-30ms. disabling vsync is supposed to help but my games wont boot unless its on. anyone else running through this similar issue? cant find anything on google and snappy movement is kind of a must have for platformers.

      If you scroll down on the right side, you should see the option to open Ryujinx. You might need to scroll down a little bit but it should be there. 🙏

    I think early 2021 I got a 8gb M1 MacMini from bestbuy with the 15-day return policy lol.
    I hated apple from a Nerd & IT standpoint in 2k4. Finally Cool, Intel Should make them Cheaper Right......
    I fell hard for this thing, Had emulators figured out in a few days, VMs for Linux & Win.

    Nintendo Switch games are ARM software base. So, it is not wonder and unsurprised that switch emulator for Apple Silicon runs so well. Apple Silicon is also ARM too.

      Ryujinx does not since .3ds is for 3DS games specifically. You will want to use Citra or now Lemonade for Mac OS.
