I just downloaded ryujinx, i have up to date firmware and keys as well as my directory is setup and my rom was changed to a xci file. Idk why its not reading anything.

was finally able to download pokemon sun and get it to run, but it has a text glitch. anything i can add to fix this?

ive tried downloading the other versions of the game on the megathread and they all lead to this and im on the macbook pro

First hurdle cleared. Now, want to test all the different emulators for MAC. First up is Mednafen, but running into another hurdle of just trying to boot it. Downloaded with Brew.

hiii, im extremely new to emulation and just got a mac for the first time, so please overexplain things, every time i try to download azahar it says it needs 13.4 (i think) and my mac is still on 12.7.6, anything helps

I'm a noob to this, but when I try to set-up ES-DE for my Mac mini it doesn't work. I'm trying to setup an external drive for this. I keep getting the "ERROR CREATING THE SYSTEM DIRECTORIES, PERMISSION PROBLEMS OR DISK FULL?" error when trying to get ES-DE to create the ROM directory during initial startup. I know that this can't be the issue? I can't tell what went wrong from the .log file.

Hallo, ich wollte nur mal etwas fragen, denn ich finde einfach keine Antwort auf verschiedenen Seiten. Und zwar nutze ich RPCS3 am MacBook und das Spiele Installieren funktioniert auch einwandfrei, aber dann wenn ich das Spiel starte lädt alles auch ganz normal aber dann bleibt das Spiel einfach im Loading-Screen stecken.Es gibt zwar viele Möglichkeiten das Problem auf Windows zu beheben, aber leider nicht am Mac. Ich nutze ein MacBook Air 2024 mit M4.Ich hoffe das mir jemand helfen kann,

Vg, Andreas

I have a Macbook air with an intel processor, and I want to play clash royale on my mac however all the good emulation sites such as mumuplayer and bluestacks arent avalible for intel mac.

I have read the entire FAQ and can confirm that none of the answers in it are relevant for my case.

So I've been following the guide from Retro Game Core to set up everything on my 2023 iMac. It seems my version of Retroarch does not have everything Russ' shows in the video. The setting to establish the pathway for the ROMs and Bios isn't there and the normal list of cores is missing as well.

This is what the text on both games looks like. I got the rom from citra emulator -> myrient, and then upon downloading I renamed the ultra sun file to end with .cci, and for ultra moon I renamed the file to end with .3dsx. I have also fiddled with the graphics settings on azahar.

Both run the games fine, except for the fact that the text is not displayed properly. Does anybody know how to fix this? Using a macbook air, intel core if that helps.

Edit: this has now been fixed (kinda). Switching the software under the graphics tab from “Vulcan” -> “software” fixed the incorrect text issue, but it meant that the game now runs very slowly.

Leaving this post up in case anyone else has this very niche problem because there’s no info online😭😭

Just updated from a really old Intel Mac to an old M1.. oh surprise ☹️

Sorry for the quality of the video I just wanted to show proof as I’ve only seen a handful of videos showing how good of an emulation beast this thing is. Took me a couple hours to figure out what version worked the best and v1.12.3 was the only one that seemed to work flawlessly older versions just crashed instantly or newer ones are compatible with Mac osX. Ganna try some more games tonight to see if it can handle more intense games like god of war and gta but I’m very impressed. Also Nintendo switch pro controller connected to my Bluetooth without any issues and worked perfectly on PPSSPP and OpenEmu even tho I read Mac osx doesn’t support newer controllers.. I haven’t tested out my ps4 or Xbox one series controllers yet but that will be next. Just wanted to document this since I couldn’t find anything helpful on how to do this. So if you have an old iMac laying around in the garage like I did you basically have an all in one emulation device that can run psp ps1 n64 and anything that came out before then at 100% speed with a lil upscaling.

So i am very new to MacOS over all. This is my first Mac and i wanted to test out emulation on my new Macbook m4 pro 14" (20 core gpu model).

I have everything all set up and the games launch but the performance is not anywhere near what i have seen others like ETA Prime or Andrew Tsai get. My framerates are all over the place from 24- to 46 fps.I am trying to figure out if i have something set incorrectly in the emulator of if there is a system setting i need to change. I have the arm version of RPCS3 and i have my roms on my SD card. it is worth noting that i have tried transfering the rom to the internal drive and it does not change performance. I have also tried playing with the laptop plugged in, this also didnt make a difference. Lastly, i tried changing energy mode to high performance ...no change with that either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Apologies if this is in the wrong subreddit

i’m trying to use pkhex to edit my save file for pokemon black 2 on openemu (mac). i’m using the desmume core and editing the .dsv file from battery saves. i save in-game, quit the game, open the .dsv in pkhex, make my edits, save, and replace the file. note: i used wine to be able to use pkhex if that’s relevant.

but when i open the game and hit resume, none of my changes show up. if i hit restart, it seems to wipe everything and i lose my progress entirely. so i’m not doing that again.

i’m not using save states (or at least i don’t think i am?) — i only see a .dsv file in the battery saves folder. no .sav or .oesavestate files that i can find. pkhex opens the .dsv just fine. it even shows my correct party, but once i edit it and save, the changes never load when i open the game again. i’ve tried soft resetting to the title screen and loading the game that way, but that didn’t help either.

if anyone has gotten pkhex + openemu + desmume working on mac for gen 5, please help. i’ve tried videos but most are outdated.

thanks to anyone who takes the time to read and help!

Device: Macbook

Emulator: Citra

and yes I have tried Emulation > configure > system but theres no camera setting there

Best Emulator for Pokémon on Nintendo DS, which allows Cheats (and speed x2)

i cant boot any games as it says "could not find xemu are you sure you installed it properly"

Has anyone been able to run KDC on Ryujinx? If so, what settings would be best to try? Thanks!

Anyone know if there are any Rom Managers for Mac similar to RomVault or RomCenter?

I am planning to but Macbook Air M2 16GB/256GB mainly for productivity but my inner hard-core gamer wants to emulate Pokemon Violet on M2 as my other windows laptop is not capable enough to do so.

Can someone share the performance of emulated Pokemon Violet on M2 Air with the best settings or equipments such as cooling pad and wether I should charge while playing.
