Here’s some issues I found with your log that might help.

  • Due to AMD’s poorly optimized OpenGL driver, you may experience slowdowns.
  • Enabling Accurate Multiplication is recomended in certain games. If you are experiencing graphical glitches, try enabling this option.
  • You are using open source system files for Mii data. This will appear as your Mii having broken graphics, but will not affect the stability of the game. In order to resolve this, please refer to our guide on dumping system files. https://citra-emu.org/wiki/dumping-system-archives-and-the-shared-fonts-from-a-3ds-console/

Try turn off Hardware Shader.

Ah so it works now but its still laggy. Is that Kirby running trash or is there another problem?

Most likely it is the Radeon GPU that is causing issues :confused: There is nothing you can do about it (except buying a new computer, preferably a Windows machine with Nvidia for better performance).

Bruh, so is my Mac trash???

If you ever sit on even a budget PC with like Ryzen 3 3100 or 3300X with any Nvidia graphics card you might go “wow! this is so much faster than my Mac!” :stuck_out_tongue:

If you have iMac money, you definitely will have gaming PC money. (Apple does charge a heavy premium for their brand and not necessarily the specs). But if you need a Mac for work then that is another story, though it depends on what - perhaps it can be done equally on a PC.
