It's crazy how when I got my apple silicon mac so little things were available on it, not just gaming, but in general, and if you compare it to today's point in time it's changed so much
Well many of them did have proper Mac builds but only for intel Mac’s. It’s just now more recently that they’re bringing Apple silicon versions due to how popular they are
Since apple silicon has a lot of ARM infrastructure built in its very easy to port emulators that basically require less interpretation since most handhelds ran on ARM
i got my M1 manly for gaming a year ago because I was so confident in the community. i glad I was right. right of the bad there was so little stuff available.
I'm amazed how well the emulators run on the m1 max. I just finished games that 5 years ago on a $3000 alienware gaming laptop just couldn't keep up. Not only did I play them, but in 4k! I still max out the the m1 max some times, but even the heavy graphics games still work.
Building a gaming community on Mac through community efforts is very important and it adds a lot of value to the platform. While I don’t see Mac catching up to Windows any time soon those emulators are a big part of it.
Switch emulator is a godsent, (just the recompiler thing that has a workaround anyways) we do have RE Village as a native app also, if you own no consoles and only a mac is a pretty good game running really smoothly on my base mac mini
Hello, I loved this emulator for my Mac, I installed it as soon as I saw this video, although it has presented problems with my joystick in terms of input lag, I don't know if it has happened to someone else but it is very noticeable. Thank you very much for all these videos.
Blessings to this channel . Mac emulation just keeps on getting better and better! 😊 * I know this is a little bit off topic. However, what is the deal with all the “ostensibly smart “ people in the comment section?
I keep getting a message saying ‘please insert PlayStation cd rom’ when opening the silent hill 1 file. Just tried today after playing silent hill 2 enhanced edition
It keeps crashing on my Macbook 2018 even though I followed the same settings. Whenever I open a rom, it keeps closing the app itself, saying it unexpectedly crashed. Does Duckstation only work for M1 & M2?
This emulator plus CRT shaders makes the best PS1 experience I ever have since... PS1 experience :D It's actually better because PS1 have that wobbly graphics and I can't emulate CRT look of my 90s tv. DuckStation is a stunning software.
I tried to play on this emulator in Xenogears, on vulcan the game crashes at certain moments... it doesn't crash on OpenGL, but at certain moments graphic bugs appear, for example purple stripes on the entire screen, some glitches....
@@aceDevastator Yes, it turned out to be stable to configure. I decided not to use Vulkan and turned on OpenGL. So that there are no graphic artifacts on OpenGL, I have enabled the checkboxes in the Enchancements tab: - True Color Rendering - Software Renderer Readbacks
I love duckstation but it really depends where you use it (much older android flagships run it fine for a bit then start having dips so you need more so a flagship android from the past 3-4 years to get complete smoothness this is probably cause duckstation is very accurate) but I think beetle core ps1/mednafen is supposed to still be the king of ps1 accuracy
Would be nice if someone mad an all in one app with all these emulators in it. Line openemu or retro arch are. I like a less cluttered applications folder 👍
It definitely is. Switch emulation. Has a library as extensive and diverse as the PS2. And the first time ever perhaps , the emulator and next generation remakes/ releases will coincide together.
@@crestofhonor2349 it will take time for sure, Macs were never really gaming machines even on intel but the metal implementation especially in Ventura is a promising start. no man sky and resident evil already on board..its just up from here.
I'm struggling... I have a MacBook Air 2017... I downloaded DuckStation... a PSX.zip... ps1-bios.zip... I can't seem to get much further. I went to some sites like Vimm and others... all downloaded files are '.7z or .rar... one file was a zip that opened up as a .bin file but it said 'FAILED TO BOOT SYSTEM' No BIOS image was found for NTSC-U region. Can someone help this poor soul gain the ability to relive the greatest years of his life... playing MGS Skullmonkeys Silent Hill Crash Tekken Fear Effect ect.???
This is great, I know by a long shot texture replacement is still to be determined with ps1 but with this M1 feature, is it’s possible it can do it? I’ve seen some on RUclips used replaced textures on duckstation while using Vulkan yet they were on windows..
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I get strange pop-up alerts in the centre of the display.. Weird letters, lots of "a"'s in a row. (Yes, I'm using keyboard until I can source a decent joypad) :) Appreciate any help to deactive these strange display pop-ups. Thx
@@Andytizer But how do you remove the background noise inside a house? I am going to get the mic but I want to know how I can remove background noise cancelation for free on Mac? is there any methods?
Depends on the game. Most games were locked to 20 or 30fps and raising it would just cause it to speed up. Remember in this era it was common to tie a lot of game logic to frame rate.
Have anyone experienced any issues with DualShock 4 (PS4) controllers in the past using the native macOS Steam Client? My problem is that once i want to Disconnect my Controller in the Systems settings, it also closes/crashes the Steam Client as well. Was wondering if this is a widespread issue, or may have something to do due to the fact that Steam runs under Rosetta on Apple Silicon Macs.
A combination of the numerous people who now own an apple silicon Mac as well as some of those who work on Mac working on these emulators. Many of these emulators are open source so some have taken it on them to port the emulator to Apple silicon.
yeah but its a shame that generation of games (same with n64) had such terrible textures. it's really unplayable, those systems have no aged well. i honestly cant believe we ever paid money to play those games. lol
Just found this yesterday, and i am happy to report that everything works well 😊 now I’m enjoying nostalgia with Suikoden 1 🤍 at the moment I’m only using my keyboard for controls. Would you know if Nintendo Joycons work with Duckstation as a controller? Thanks!
The amount of emulators getting their mac ports in the last few weeks alone is awesome!
It's crazy how when I got my apple silicon mac so little things were available on it, not just gaming, but in general, and if you compare it to today's point in time it's changed so much

You doing some good work here. I am having trouble getting my PS4 controller to link to my M1 Air, and it’s being a pain
I just use the cable it came with and connect it wired
@@muzamilyasin8360 not a bad idea. I’ll try it out later. Thx
Ps4 controller on my Mac is probably the best experience with a Ps4 controller besides on a Ps4. Only iOS and iPadOS match it. Windows totally sucks.

Great. What if I already have the old (non ARM) version installed ? Do I need to uninstall that?

too expensive

Make everything by your tutorial om my Air M1, but fps maximum 29,9. If vsync turned on, then 14,8 fps.
How did you make 60?)
Can you apply hacks to run games at 60 fps for games that are supposed to be 30 fps only?
Depends on the game. Most games were locked to 20 or 30fps and raising it would just cause it to speed up. Remember in this era it was common to tie a lot of game logic to frame rate.
CVGS on MacOS9 is the best way! ^ iMac or eMac and their great CRTs.
If a CRT is what you want, you can use a USB-C to VGA adapter.

Hey! So it wont detect any of the .cue games i have, any ideas?
i chose the folder with the games and nothing happens, can you tell me why ?
Does Duckstation allow updates? If not, how would I go about updating while retaining all the data pathways?
I got a question? Is the original Klonoa on this emulator?
Great video.
You should remove the section about finding the bios. Sony is still touchy about that and might hit you with a notice.

Can we play it on iPad?
Una pregunta en donde se pueden descargar los juegos y en que formato
