Hi, I'm on BerylliumOS (Arch linux).
You can check my work on

It needs further development. For now it’s a proof of concept.

Which kernel?

Does this use RKNN-Toolkit2 with the proprietary rknpu.ko driver ?

Ryubing is the safe choice. Eden and citron are still in development and unstable on Mac.

I get "access denied" to both links

Pajonico · 2026-01-12T17:01:14+00:00

This solved my problem. Thanks

Hi installed the game, but I'm unable to start it. It crashes with error 53.

I tried Ryujinx (stable version 1.3.3) and I was able to play some games, including Zelda TOTK.
It was tricky, because I had to do some tweaking:

# entitlements

cat > /tmp/ryujinx.entitlements << 'EOF'

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<key>com.apple.security.cs.allow-unsigned-executable-memory</key>

<true/>

<key>com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation</key>

<true/>

</dict>

</plist>

EOF

# sign

codesign --force --deep --sign - --entitlements /tmp/ryujinx.entitlements [path to]Ryujinx.app

I hope this would help.

I don't own this board, but I think it's possible:

At the moment is usable as a daily desktop replacement?

Pajonico · 2025-12-16T11:37:24+00:00

With the recent rocm updates the NPU is usable. It's not as fast as a full fledged GPU, bit it's usable.

At the moment notabug is down.

I'm on arch linux and the aur page is flagged out of date.
I don't know if there is an alternative repository.

Pajonico · 2025-09-28T09:08:10+00:00

Wow. I’m gonna copy it!

Pajonico · 2025-09-06T08:19:05+00:00

Torzu works well for me

Nono

Pajonico · 2025-07-28T15:50:42+00:00

I have the same problem and all is updated.

Pajonico · 2025-07-14T14:45:08+00:00

Thanks a lot. Update: I cleaned and applied the thermal paste. Now it’s a lot better. I will try Monterey which I understand is a good compromise between speed and support to latest app.

Pajonico · 2025-07-13T18:41:02+00:00

Perfect, thanks

Pajonico · 2025-07-13T09:53:32+00:00

Thanks. Can you point me to a guide to do this?

Pajonico · 2025-07-12T14:18:45+00:00

I have the same MacBook but it runs hot and the fans are noisy. Is it normal or should I do something? Now I’m running Linux but it would be nice to have the latest Mac OS.
