How to play Switch games on Mac 1 My child wants to play Switch, but I don't want to just spend money on a game console. I happened to learn that the current Mac system can run a Switch emulator, so I bought him a Mac mini M4. This product is very interesting. Let's talk about it later. First, record how to install the emulator and play Switch games on Mac First, download the emulator software: https://ryujinx.app/ Download necessary keys and firmwares: https://prodkeys.io/ryujinx-keys-ryujinx-firmware-21-0-0/On the page, find the download button in the figure below, click to download, remember to download both files.  The next two items were checked with GPT: firmwares are equivalent to the Switch's operating system. Key is equivalent to the serial number in the game hardware, each Switch console has one built-in, can be copied out, the ones on the internet are shared by others. If you have an actual Switch, you can copy your own. If you cannot access the page, you may need to consider installing a proxy, please solve it yourself. After downloading the emulator software, it is a compressed package, uncompress it to get a direct-installation application, drag this application into the Applications folder.  In the program, find the application and click to open. Normally, it will prompt that the software is dangerous. At this point, go to Settings and select 'Allow Anyway'. Confirm this, and you can open it normally next time.     The opened program defaults to English interface. In the Action interface, select 'Install keys', choose 'Install from folder', click to pop up a selection box, select both files, then add them.  After adding keys, add Firmware in the same way by selecting from the folder.  After completing the above steps, the virtual machine environment setup is complete.
