Description
Ryujinx is an open-source Nintendo Switch emulator for Mac OS created by gdkchan and written in C#.
Ryujinx is currently available also for Windows, Linux, Android, iOS and on GitHub under the MIT license.

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.
Ryujinx is capable of booting past menus to in-game on over 1,000 commercial titles, roughly half of which are considered playable.
