Thanks for this very comprehensive tutorial ! You got yourself a new subscriber !

Very interesting. Fun fact - as I'm french - the message on your T-shirt shows artisan ale ; what I understand as a homebrew beer. But it's a mindgame, french mindgame, as all classic jobs done with passion and love, handmade, is Artisanal. With a E if it's a she job (we make the distinction in our language between man or woman), and with a S if they are several or many. Artisanales in french, could suit for shoes done old fashion, last century. So I love your T-Shirt, it's a double read : Homebrew beverage or "fait à l'ancienne, avec passion". Cheers.
All credit goes to Speciation in Michigan for that, they're makers of amazing wild fermented sour beers, generally fruited in the vain of lambics but with more new world flair. I'm a beer nerd and often in videos have beers spotted when the topic is more causal.

For information on setting up the emulator and dumping your PS3 games, read the quickstart guide. i googled and apperentely you need an iso patcher and 3k3y for the iso and the .ird of the game iso and after patching and (i think) adding .ird with the patcher and 3k3y the iso has to be unpacked and then can be played by rpcs3. the problem i face now is that there is no ps3 iso patcher and 3k3y software for mac? so what can i do?

This is so cool! Would you be able to do a video like this for the Wii too? I want to get an M2 Mac mini to run Dolphin Emulator for Wii games, but I just have no idea where to start
I have one in the works for wii and gamecube that's partially done. It's more tedious than the PlayStation as the wii requires actual hardware and I didn't like my explanation. Now that it's been a few months I should revisit it with fresh eyes as I want these to be as deep as possible in the shortest amount of time without overburdening the viewer. Basically, explain the really important stuff and leave off the esoteric.
So I tried Dolphin on my M1 Pro MacBook Pro, and I can play a couple games that don't really require a precise Wii remote, but in the controller settings I wasn't able to connect a real Wii remote to my computer, despite it showing up in the Bluetooth settings-it asked for a passcode, and despite everything I read on the internet, I could never give the right one. That being said, I'd still love to figure out how to connect a real Wii remote to play games like Wii Sports Resort, and even a real balance board too. And I think I'll get an M3 Mac mini whenever they come out, although given Apple's focus on other platforms besides the Mac (that poor iMac!), I doubt we'll see that until at least spring 2024, and maybe even later in the year.
@@riankemas2618 I just could use the ".pkg" version of the games. That is the format on the store of psn. I use a app to download. I forget the name...when I'm home I will post for you
There is an Xbox emulator on the Mac but it is not nearly as mature and more complicated to use. I made a video about it: ruclips.net/video/Dqhb426Np2A/видео.htmlfeature=shared
So if anyone has my scenario where they wanted to play “The Orange Box” for half-life 2 on M1 Air… I’ll just save you the time and just tell you that it’s basically unplayable and you probably should save yourself 1hr setting this up and don’t bother.

I have one in the works for wii and gamecube that's partially done. It's more tedious than the PlayStation as the wii requires actual hardware and I didn't like my explanation. Now that it's been a few months I should revisit it with fresh eyes as I want these to be as deep as possible in the shortest amount of time without overburdening the viewer. Basically, explain the really important stuff and leave off the esoteric.
I bought an M2 mini for that exact same thing
Dolphin, XEMU, PPSSPP, Redream, Citra, all run great on it!
So I tried Dolphin on my M1 Pro MacBook Pro, and I can play a couple games that don't really require a precise Wii remote, but in the controller settings I wasn't able to connect a real Wii remote to my computer, despite it showing up in the Bluetooth settings-it asked for a passcode, and despite everything I read on the internet, I could never give the right one.
That being said, I'd still love to figure out how to connect a real Wii remote to play games like Wii Sports Resort, and even a real balance board too. And I think I'll get an M3 Mac mini whenever they come out, although given Apple's focus on other platforms besides the Mac (that poor iMac!), I doubt we'll see that until at least spring 2024, and maybe even later in the year.
@@tmacthaskydiver8310 Were you able to connect Wii remotes to it? That's my biggest problem
great ...runnin tekken 5 full speed on Mac mini 8g. I will upload a video.
On apple silicon?
@@dmug yes m1. check my channel I just upload running tekken 5 . I tested Fat princess too.
how can you boot the games, because in my case there an error message, are you need an iso patcher?
@@riankemas2618 I just could use the ".pkg" version of the games. That is the format on the store of psn.
I use a app to download. I forget the name...when I'm home I will post for you
@@riankemas2618it's probrably just your folder setup

Probably? No harm in trying.
How does GTA 4 run on this?

This honestly is a topic I know nothing about, my gut says no and if you can I won’t be covering it as it’s not really what I do.

games are unplayable on my m2 mac.
Why????? Same here. I’m really worried I wanna play so bad.
We all have read that guide and we will never reading it 😅
is there an xbox version
There is an Xbox emulator on the Mac but it is not nearly as mature and more complicated to use. I made a video about it:
ruclips.net/video/Dqhb426Np2A/видео.htmlfeature=shared
all my games say iso file and they wont play
Mine are all iso files and they do I repeat do!!! play!!!
I think you need to open the files then extract them and then you should be able to drag and drop them into the emulator
can i play cod 7on it?
Does this work for ipad pro m2 (4th gen)?
Nope, Apple doesn't allow emulators on iOS. There are ones for older consoles that must be sideloaded.
bruh, what about ird files
Can you play online on these emulators?

how about an ISO file? like red dead undead nigthmare
It should work my games are in isolated
is funny but ps3 gta v run better that gta v through wine of any free emulator for macOS,so basically emulating console is the real gaming in MacOS
where do you get the games for rpcs3?
Get a blu ray drive and dump the contents or sail the high seas.
no men i ask were do i can download the games for the rpcs3

You didn't pay attention to the video?
Nobody is going to tell you something illegal
So if anyone has my scenario where they wanted to play “The Orange Box” for half-life 2 on M1 Air… I’ll just save you the time and just tell you that it’s basically unplayable and you probably should save yourself 1hr setting this up and don’t bother.
Might want to check the Mac gaming wiki to see if there's reasonable ways to run it via different solutions

I need to know where to find games.....All my Ps3 stuff is lost in a hurricane back home, all i have is empty cases.
Can we play ps2 and ps1 games?
For ps2 emulation, use duck station, it’s very similar. I’ll make a tutorial for it in a few months
Esta para macos catalina?
