Eventually, I’ll look into alternative input plugins, maybe here or here. They do work, but only with a controller, and not with a mouse like I hoped. Input: I expected to be able to play games originally for use with a light gun, like Point Blank, Elemental Gearbolt, Time Crisis, or PoliceNauts. Now in my case, none of the preset buttons were mapped to the right controller buttons, so I had to remap all of them, but it only takes a second. If the Playstation controller is connected, you should see it in the drop-down box labeled “Device”.
Where it says controller, select “Gamepad/Keyboard/Mouse” and click “Configure”. Turn on Bluetooth in the menu bar. The Bluetooth discovery process is janky, and you might need the mini-USB cable, but it will work, and eventually you will be able to use it 100% wirelessly. Bring over a Dual Shock 3, but not one that is already turned on and paired with a PS3 in the room, because that’ll cause trouble. The PS3 controller works well, because it’s Bluetooth. And not /Library/Application Support, which is semi-hidden by Finder and access-controlled with root permissions. Not some directory that begins with a dot, in your home directory, that Finder can’t even see.
Maybe a little hard to find, but this is at least the standard location for application data. Save states, memory card files, plugins and other supporting data get stored at /Users/your_name/Library/Application Support/Pcsxr, like a good Mac application.
#MAC PS 1 EMULATOR ISO#
iso file extension, because PCSXR requires it. Their wiki recommends SCPH7502.bin.Īlso note: for what it’s worth, I had to rename my collection of disc images to. You have to place it in /Users/your_name/Library/Application Support/Pcsxr/Bios. PCSXR runs best with an actual BIOS image. The emulator is apparently able to emulate/simulate BIOS functions, but in testing it seems like that feature is hit and miss at best. PlayStation emulation generally requires you to provide a BIOS image extracted from the console, and that’s the one thing you’ll probably have to pirate, even if you have your own physical discs. File, load ISO, point it to a disc image, and play.
#MAC PS 1 EMULATOR MAC OS X#
The Mac OS X build is available in binary form, and mercifully it’s an app bundle too. The original PlayStation can be emulated excellently on Mac OS X using the open-source emulator, PCSX-Reloaded (formerly PCSX).
