[Bug] Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Crashing on Loading Screen + Other games freezing (Linux)

[devrainz]

Prerequisites

• I am confident that my issue has not been reported already in open OR closed issues.
• I am able to reliably reproduce the issue on the latest stable or canary version.
• I am not using an unofficial build (Flatpak, Emudeck, etc.).
• I am a silly goose and didn't read these boxes.
• I am a silly goose and DID read these boxes.

Description of the issue

Issue occurs when attempting to initialize Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream on Arch Linux with Hyprland
Canary builds instantly crashes when attempting to initialize the game (on loading screen) and returns with the following errors:

00:00:09.143 |E| .NET TP Worker Fatal error.
00:00:09.143 |E| .NET TP Worker System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
fish: Task 1, '/home/rainz/Downloads/ryujinx-c…' terminated by SIGABRT signal (Aborted)

While on normal Ryujinx (releases build), it freezes completely the loading screen (doesn't crash) and returns the output:

Fatal error. System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

Reproduction steps

1. Run Ryujinx (Ryubing) 1.3.3 amd64 version (or any Canary)
2. Choose Firmware 21.1.0
3. Attempt to Open Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream
4. Ryujinx (Ryubing Release Builds) stays a while in the Loading Screen and then proceeds to freeze the Window (doesn't crash). On Canary builds, it instantly crashes during the loading screen when attempting to initialize the game.

this game doesnt play on stable at the moment, please replicate the issue with canary

[devrainz]

I did replicate the issue with Canary actually. In fact I included both scenarios and reproduction steps of testing in both Stable and Canary.

The game still doesn't go past the initializing screen for Linux on Canary (I used 1.3.269).
