Oh well, most of the time will be spent in fullscreen mode anyway. click "set screen options" and uncheck "decorate windows." This will fix the black borders, but it will make ePSXe look like a windows application again. To fix this, hold Option and try to launch your ePSXe wrapper. There is a black bar across the top (or bottom, depending on resolution settings) that obscures part of the image. Please let me know if you have one of these cards and can test this. I'm not sure if it will matter for intel or NVIDIA users. Click browse and select the pretty new icon, then close that window with the red circle in the upper left corner. Remember, we want the ICNS file, not the PNG or ICO file. Change version to "1.7.0" and for the icon, browse to a nice new one, like the one in this link: Click the advanced button once the initial window comes back up. This is optional, but so simple you might as well do it. Click OK.įor funsies, let's give it a version number and pretty icon. It will automatically find and assume you want to use the ePSXe.exe file when you launch the program.

Click on "move a folder inside." Choose the epsxe170 folder. We have to manually do this because ePSXe has no installer, but wineskin makes this pretty easy too. Try to launch the ePSXe wrapper that was created with wineskin winery earlier. Now, we need to move the epsxe folder into the wrapper. Download it and place it in the epsxe170 folder. (I will not help you find one, and technically, you need to own a playstation 1 to be legally permitted to even HAVE the file.)ĮPSXe has an unspecified need for a file called zlib1.dll. Download and place whatever plugins you want in the plugins folder (eternal 1.41 and 1.50 are GREAT sound plugins, and the peops OGL plugins are really nice too.) Place your playstation 1 BIOS dump in the bios folder. You should see a folder called "epsxe170" and a bunch of little things inside. Unzip the file if OSX didn't already do it for you. When you have an installer, this is very easy, but ePSXe doesn't use an installer, so we will have to do this manually.įirst, fetch ePSXe. Now, we need to put the emulator inside the wrapper. You now have a nice new wrapper! Go ahead and exit out of wineskin winery. Also, cancel the Mono and Gecko installers when it asks because ePSXe doesn't use those anyway.

If your firewall is active, Mac OSX will ask you if you would like to let the new wrapper connect to the internet. This will be the name of the app, so it makes sense to call it "ePSXe." wrapper 2.5.6 is stable, and fixed the nightmares that can occur when using mountain lion.Ĭlick "create new blank wrapper" and name it whatever you want.

Click Update to install the newest wrapper.ĮDIT: avoid 2.5.5 if you are running mountain lion. Next, you will notice the "No Wrapper installed" text. There is a patched engine, "WS9Wine1.5.12 AMDSpeedHack" which lets the latest version build use hardware acceleration, but this supposedly causes trouble with GLSL shaders." Using a wine engine based on 1.4 should fix this. There used to be a workaround back in the wine 1.4.x days, but it was holding developers back, so in 1.5.1, it was removed.

Everything will end up rendered in software rather than hardware, which is slow. If you are blessed with one of these, running the latest wrapper is generally a bad idea.
#Ps2 emulator mac wineskin drivers#
Apple is really bad about writing drivers, in particular the drivers for the AMD/ATi GPUs. (1.5.9 is the latest as of this post, but appears to have problems recognizing available screen resolutions.)ĮDIT: I overlooked something very important when I wrote this. How thoughtful.Ĭlick the plus sign and download and install the WS9Wine1.5.8 engine. When you first launch the application, it will not have anything it needs to create a proper wrapper, but will instead allow you to fetch the latest stuff from within the app. It creates a fake windows environment for each windows app, allowing it to run within OSX without a copy of windows.ĭownload this app and drag it into your application folder. run ePSXe with a wrapper - Wineskin is the easiest FREE way to do this. Virtualbox still has a problem with USB devices being passed to guests.ģ. virtualize windows in OSX - Parallels and VMware fusion should do fine here. install windows in bootcamp - This gives you better frame rates if your computer is having trouble and can work around a few osx glitches.Ģ. There are 3 ways to run this windows-only emulator ePSXe on an apple computer.ġ.
