    Downloaded and installed according to your instructions, I have Skate 1 running damn near flawlessly without messing with any of the settings. I’m sure I can run beefier games too if I downscale the resolution a bit. Just wanted to say thanks, you’ve helped me get a lot of stuff running on my Mac over the last couple years.
    For anyone curious I have a MacBook Air, M1, 8gb ram running macOS 13.5

    A few extra mentions:
    3:31 It works fine with a 8BitDo Lite2 controller. After pairing it with your mac, in RPCS3 just select SDL and you are good to go
    Also some ROMs come as .pkg. To install go to File → Install Packages/Raps in RPCS3's GUI, then select the PKGs

    I installed it yesterday and it is not working properly. There's purple lines all over the screen in every game I have tried. I don't know if there's a setting that I need to activate or what. I'm on M1 MacBook Pro 16GB.
    Ps: I did find on the internet that after the SONOMA update RPCS3 isn't performing as well on Mac and needs a specific update to work well again.

    I'm running a Mac OS Monterey 12.7 on a mid 2015 MB Pro Quad Core Intel Core i7 Processor with 16gb Ram. I've tried practically everything I can to get my games running but it's just stuck on a Compiling PPU Modules black screen when I go to boot any game. Initially I thought this was just a compiling issue so I waited several hours (around 4) for the files to compile and boot with no success. Any suggestions on how to get my games to boot would be highly appreciated! Note, I'm running the PS2 emulator with no problems on my MB Pro so I'm assuming it has to do with the PS3 emulator settings or the OS incompatibility.

    • @shib5267
      @shib5267 3 місяці тому +1

      yes, the problem is that cpu is getting mauled by the emulator, especially how thermally limited these macbooks are.
      but it does sound like there's some other issues, you should be able to play some games. the console will probably have the error messages. google those

As mentioned I have a quad core intel core i7 with 16gb of RAM so CPU shouldn't really be an issue, there's definitely something else going on as I mentioned I've tried practically everything and various configuration mods etc etc. Hopefully someone who's faced the same issue will be able to help me out.
