M1 MacBook Gaming - GTA: Vice City - PS2 Emulation
M1 MacBook Gaming - GTA: Vice City - PS2 Emulation
Today it's all about Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for the PlayStation 2. We're emulating it at a resolution of 4K on the entry level M1 MacBook Air, which only has 7 GPU cores and 8 CPU cores. Also, it has 8 GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD.
Overall the game runs well. Despite high resolution, the MBA emulates the game without breaking a sweat.
I'm using a PlayStation 5 controller connected with its USB cable to the MBA. The controller runs fine and feels very nice. I haven't tested Bluetooth.
After testing the game for about 10 - 15 minutes, temperatures were very stable at around 50ºC. It's a very decent temperature overall for the M1 MBA. We will most likely avoid thermal throttling and the entire device profits from lower temperatures, compared to other games.
GTA VC is always a fun game to play, whether it's your first run or you know it by heart. Luckily, you can get this up and running in no time with AetherSX2 and have a great time!
Hope you enjoyed!
DS

    The first release of the game is little buggy but on my experience I don't see major issues. I have the same base m1 air, the big problem for me is playing mercenaries because the 30fps and the thermal throttling but I buy a laptop cooling pad for that.

    I truly appreciate your videos! I'd like to ask for your assistance with a specific emulation issue regarding Ryujinx. I use two (generic) PS4 controllers that are correctly recognized and configurable in the emulator. However, no matter how much I tweak the settings, I always encounter problems when trying to play with two players in any game. Either both controllers move the same character, or the system simply indicates a configuration error. What could I do to fix this?

      By later versions do you mean MacBook Hardware or emulation software? I'm currently using that specific version of AetherSX2 since it's what I currently have installed. Concerning hardware, I keep testing everything on the base model M1 since it's the base line performance. On later models it's going to run at least as well and in most cases much better. Thanks for watching and for your valuable feedback. It's much appreciated :D

I've already tried playing with the default RPCS3 settings (without changing anything). I've already tried playing with the settings that appear in your video and nothing. The screen is always black and in the upper left corner of the screen it counts the FPS, no audio, no image, nothing. Only black screen. I've tried other settings and nothing either. Could you give me some help or a solution to this problem friend? I've always wanted to play this beautiful game on my PC. Thank you in advance for your attention. see you buddy.
