[Bug] Ryubing crashing instantly on game launch on versions after 1.3.227 on macOS.

[Wiredframe]

Description of the issue

Ryubing is crashing instantly on game launch on versions after 1.3.227. Almost all games are affected. I tried all versions after 1.3.227 and had the same issues. With 1.3.227 everything was fine. I'm on macOS Sonoma, MacBook Pro M1. Thanks in advance!

Reproduction steps

Use version 1.3.227: Games load and run fine. Update to a newer version and games crash on launch.

the fields are there for a reason.

Thanks, I've tested some games now. Please note, that ALL games worked before updating (version 1.3.227).

If you're up for it you can try locally building the latest release and see if that works.
Our current theory is that the latest MacOS updates (released December 12th) broke something related to hypervisor permissions, causing official builds to error out, while local builds still work.

[Wiredframe]

I can confirm that ALL games work perfectly when disabling hypervisor. :) Just tested every single one.

[Wiredframe]

Thanks. So, what's your suggestion now, should I build Ryujinx myself or should I update to macOS 26?

Build Ryujinx yourself. You shouldn't need to update unless there's a fix for a game you're playing, and you should be able to open these games without issue on a local build.

updating to macOS 26 doesn't fix the issue, it has the exact same problem.
