MacOS

[whoisdashline]

Hey more and more macs can handle games in high fidelity and good amount of fps. Could we think about porting this to MacOS?

I second this, the hardware is more than capable, I mean I'm able to run Cyberpunk high at native resolution, it would definitely be a large undertaking, but given this project already has multi-platform support, the modularity is already there.

I can try stuff on MacOS too

Realistically I wouldn't expect a macOS version.

AnyPS5 relinks ps5 executables to run natively on x86-64, so on Apple Silicon it would have to rely on Rosetta 2, which Apple is phasing out. On top of that it would need a new Mach-O loader and workarounds for MoltenVK/Metal limitations.

That's a lot of work for a platform it may not even run on in a couple of years.

A fork could try it, but I wouldn't hold out for it.

Thank you for those insights, I was unaware they are dropping the legacy emulation layer entirely. Makes sense though to push developers to compile for Apple Silicon, but still sucks. :/
