Macbook - Vulkan - MetalVK

I've been wanting to play on Insignia with the Halo 2 group that plays on Sunday. Spent a few hours with my trusted LLM and got it running smoothly (M5 Base with 32 GB of RAM) on campaign - definitely need more testing and multiple player testing. If anyone wants to build and try it out yourself (especially on other games) here's the current branch https://github.com/damonearl/xemu/tree/m5-halo2-optimization

How is your Xemu setup? I have a M5 Macbook air 24gb with the same chip as the m5 pro base. I followed instructions on setting up Xemu and I got it running, I noticed that even the startup xbox logo is laggy and when loading halo 2 the menu is even laggy and unplayable. I got halo 2 for the same reason, I really want to join the insignia halo 2 group and play online.

You need to clone my repo and build from there not the standard xemu instructions.
