*For everyone who wants to play Persona 5 with M1 Macbooks* New official version of RPCS3 has been released. Now with this version and some customized settings I'm able to play Persona 5 at 720p or 1080p with good FPS average (from 30 to 60 FPS in most cases, down to 20-25 only in places full of stuff and people but still playable) using the basic model of MacBook Air M1 (8-core CPU, 7-core GPU, 8 GB RAM). To achieve this result, you have to change some CPU's settings: right click on the game, select "Change Custom Configuration", then in CPU tab set *SPU XFloat Accuracy* to "Relaxed XFloat", *SPU Block Size* to "Mega" and *Preferred SPU Threads* to "2" (remember to save these changes before closing the menu!). Then to enable 60 FPS, right click on the game, select "Manage Game Patches", click "Download last patches" and then select the game and click at 60 FPS. If you want to play 1080p (which gives you a little FPS reduction, but still very playable) you have to go in the GPU tab (not CPU this time), and set *Resolution Scale (Disable Strict Mode)* to "150%": in this case you can have some upscaling issues, so you have to install another patch (following this link: wiki.rpcs3.net/index.php?title=Persona_5 at the section "Dialog Portraits with Resolution Scaling"). I hope these settings can be usefull. If someone has better settings or other improvements, share it with a comment :) Thank you guys for the legendary job you are doing, you are truly amazing!

@@benjiro8793 he said 4k 60 fps tho. please tell me what 1100$ laptop is going to run a ps3 emulator on 4k 60 fps. and unplugged. i get your point but i dont understand the 'crapple' chirping and windows fanboying when 1. there is no comparable windows-compatible ARM chip and 2. windows is also really not that great of an OS and only excels in gaming. there are other things that you want to use your machine for

[@sinolodressrosa6241]

@@veganlife1710 No doubt windows laptops are better for gaming, but let me add that it's pointless comparing MacBook M1 Air with these laptops: it is not born for gaming. In general buying a MacBook primarily to play games is wrong. I have this laptop because it is so comfortable: amazing battery life, amazing performance even when unplugged, no noise, good display, good keyboard, good performance with the apps I generally use. I can use this laptop everywhere and that's what a real portable PC should be (for a student is too good). These "windows gaming laptops" obviously are better for gaming, but they are super loud (MacBook Air is completely silent) and when unplugged are less performant and the battery capacity is insufficient, so you are basically force to always have an electric socket and the charging cable (at least for what I do with my laptop). The fact that I can even play some good games with decent/good performance in my free time, basically everywhere, without spending other money for another PC is actually great. I will never sell my Mac to pick even a super performant windows laptop simply because I need a portable system and sadly windows laptops today are not really good in terms of portability. This MAC/Windows war jeeeeez is so silly, simply they are intended for different uses and users.

I just wanted to thank the developers for making a version for MacOS! I am just starting with it and I am really excited that it’s even possible. Currently I am working out a problem that prevents me from downloading the game patch and compatibility data, but I’m sure it is just a mater of time and perhaps learning a bit more about the software before it’s working for me. Very grateful for your efforts! It will be fantastic to have a way to preserve my investment in these games!

sorry to bother with such a simple question (i'm complitely new to macOS, i bought it like a week ago) I was wondering what is "active cooling" (stated at 0:57) is it like running it while using a fan stand or what? btw congrats on the work guys, it's unbelievable what you're doing ps: same about thermal mode

[@Kxshou]

1. "Active cooling" refers to the fact that the MacBook Pro being tested has an internal fan that is running. It's mentioned as a comparison to the MacBook Air which uses the same M1 chip but doesn't have an internal fan at all. 2. The *thermal mod refers to a modification you can do to an M1 MacBook Air that improves the cooling without the need for a fan. Cooler temperatures = better performance.

[@anata.one.1967]

Yep, TTT2 runs much more consistently, and with much lower temps on SoC.

[@BrunoTorrente]

I wanted to see it running on a Raptor Power9 (Talos™ II or Blackbird™ for example) because it uses a power architecture much closer to the original PS3, which I imagine could run most of the instructions natively, translating much less and focusing on the rest of the platform. .. For those who don't know, there is a version of the power processor sold for workstations, with a focus on security, nowadays the ISA of the power architecture is open (yes you can download and run a Power on an FPGA at home) or even make your own custom version (OpenCore Initiative)
