Yes, as of my message I was on Dolphin 5.0-14860, there is a new dev version that I'll try, but it seems it'll make no difference. You're probably right about my gpu being the issue, though I hoped that a Mac from late 2015 would have sufficed on the hardware end of things. Sad

Hey, whats the difference between the "macOS (ARM/Intel Universal)" download of Dolphin and the "macOS (Intel)" version? I'm grasping at straws hoping that I simply used the wrong one.

The Intel version is optimized for Intel CPU Macs (most Macs), whereas the universal one is optimized both for Intel Macs and the very recently released ARM CPU Macs. The Intel build is about to be phased out soon, as the universal build is better for those new ARM CPU Macs and has no real disadvantages for other Macs, so pick the universal build if you're unsure. But it looks like you have an Intel CPU, so in your case it doesn't really matter which one you use.

When replaying the beginning of the game (which I had been doing over and over hoping for a miracle while messing with the settings) and right after the ocean shot with the title where the boat goes off screen to the right I get a white screen, which is supposed to transition to mario getting dropped off, but the game freezes on that white screen. I got a notification saying something like, "Invalid read from PC" followed by a bunch of 0's and the options to "Ignore for this session." What causes this message to appear? Is it probably a hardware issue still or maybe a setting? I would love if my problems with playing ttyd was as simple as a graphic setting being incorrectly enabled or disabled. But as everday goes by, a legit gaming rig is looking more tempting.

If that's happening at that specific point, yep, it's the Bounding Box emulation biting again. It generally causes graphical glitches, crashes, softlocks or invalid read errors when the game tries to use the feature when it's not available or disabled...
