We are using a base model M1 MacBook Air with the lowest-end GPU in the range for this guide. However, the built-in GPU in Apple’s M1 (or newer) Apple Silicon Macs is powerful enough. Macs like the Intel MacBook Pros that use Intel integrated graphics are unlikely to offer a great experience. So, we recommend a quad-core Mac with hyperthreading and a dedicated Nvidia or AMD GPU with 4GB of VRAM. These minimum hardware specifications may not be enough to run some titles at a playable performance or high resolution. Although it may be by the time you read this guide. At the time of writing, the macOS version of this software isn’t yet an official release. The above hardware requirements are taken from the Windows and Linux versions of PCSX2. A PS4 or PS5 controller is highly-recommended
Before we get into the technical details, let’s lay out the list of things you’ll need to follow in this tutorial.
