Unknown, Mac binaries are not available for latest development version

If the issue isn't present in the latest stable version, which is the first broken version? (You can find the first broken version by bisecting.

If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer
[Attach any fifologs if possible, write a description of fifologs and screenshots here to assist people unfamiliar with the game.]
What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)
[PC specs here]
Macbook M1 Air, base model
Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)
[Anything else here]
I have heard rumors that Rosetta 2, the translation service for Intel apps to run on the new M1 Macs, can cause issues with controller inputs. However, the controller is working as expected in OpenEmu, and that is still running under Rosetta 2. Unknown whether this rumor holds any weight
