However, there is no doubt that with time and resources, this project could be completed without problems. Unfortunately, this also means that even though the game starts, it only takes a few seconds to stop working correctly.
As the game begins you can start to see those technical limitations and soon after that, a black screen issue here. In the video, we can see the Super Mario Odyssey was put to the test on macOS. NcLIBLWOPz- Sera Tonin Brocious December 20, 2020 It only gets a few frames into the game before it hits the first MoltenVK limitation, but damn. Which Switch games would you like to play on a Mac, if any? Let us know on Twitter.I'm so fucking proud of this. It’s also possible to run iOS and iPad OS apps on the desktop? There are speed and power advantages, much improved GPU for gaming purposes and big time battery life boosts. The M1 Mac range opens up a world of possibilities for Apple computers, well beyond a very unofficial compatibility with a Nintendo Switch emulator. If she continues her work on the platform, it’s not too much of a stretch to think the new M1 Macs could become a pretty solid emulator for Switch games. In a reply on Twitter she notes that “if amework is ever made available on iOS, porting it would be pretty painless I imagine.” The developer reckons that, due to these similarities, an iOS and iPadOS version of the emulator that might be on the cards in the future. The emulation is perhaps made easier by the fact both the Switch and the new M1 Apple Silicon Macs run on ARM-based processors.
The 8 bit website explains how the emulation is possible due to the way MoltenVK maps Vulkan – “the next-generation open-standard API for high-performance GPU acceleration” – to Apple’s graphics library. The Switch Joy-Cons are compatible, along with other Switch controllers. There are limitations caused by the MoltenVK runtime library, developer explains on Twitter, but it all looks pretty impressive thus far.
However, running emulations of Switch games on an M1 Mac can be achieved with the minimum of fuss, according to the developer who has been able to install Super Mario Odyssey on macOS and play it using the popular Yuzu Emulator. Apple’s M1 Mac computers have mightily impressed thus far, but the ability to play Nintendo Switch games isn’t something you’ll find the MacBook-maker talking about.
