1. i downloaded these 3 things, but when i downloaded the X11 an tried to install it, it says its not compatible, cause i have snow lepord. so i have XQuartz 2.3.4. i double click the pcsx2 that went into my apps. it opened up no problem.then if i hit config it says Could not open ‘bios/’ directory. then the screen goes kinda fuzzy/grainy and i cant click anything anymore. file, run config, etc are all whited out, so i have to close and reopen it. i havent downloaded a game yet, and im not really sure what to get. should i get an ISO? and when i do, do i have to put it in any specific folder or anything? im gona mess around wit it more tomorrow, just thought i’d post this now. any help would be appreciated.

2. So until XQuartz releases ver. 2.4.1 of X11, this can’t work on Snow Leopard, right? 2.4.0 will not install on Snow Leopard and the version pre-installed by Apple is 2.3.4 and doesn’t seem to work right with pcsx2. Once XQuartz releases 2.4.1 I’ll try pcsx2 again and let you know if it works under Snow Leopard. Thanks for all the hard work!

4. Nvm that weird link in my previous post, dunno where it came from. If anyone wants that xquartz alpha, they can find it here:

6. okay im really confused. i followed david’s second link, downloaded the new X11, installed it and it works fine for snow leopard now. i opened pcsx2, and it still opened with the old x11. so i tried opening the Xquartz this time, when it opened i clicked applications, terminal. the terminal popped up. i couldnt type anything. so i clicked i clicked X11, preferences, then on the input tab i checked emulate three button mouse and follow system keyboard layout. still couldnt type. so i quit the program, reopened it and then i was able to type in the terminal. i tried the old code to bring up pcsx2 (cd /Applications/pcsx2/bin
   ./pcsx2) and it said no such file directory found. so now i dont know what to do. i downloaded a final fantasy X iso last night and really want to play it. sorry, i’m new to all this, the only emulator i have is a game boy advance emulator, and its not nearly as complicated, so this is all new to me

7. i’m not sure it even works on snow leopard even with new xquartz.

   The app has been packed into an application bundle, so the path to the binaries is now /Applications/pcsx2.app/Contents/Resources/pcsx2

8. Like I said, I didn’t test it. Maybe the app links with Xquartz frameworks or something? (zedr0n can probably shed some light on that). If so, that should be fixable with ‘otool’ and ‘install_name_tool’ or a recompile. But it’s safer to wait for an xquartz final.
   zedr0n: if you need any help with this stuff, I’d be happy to help. Got a bit of experience messing around with libs and such

9. no, the only thing it basically does is just call ‘/usr/x11/bin/xterm -e pcsx2′ so with a xquartz install on SL if it doesn’t override the /usr/x11 directory, then it would still call old x11.

   I don’t have a ready install of SL available so unfortunately can’t really test it. I’ll get a distro in a couple of days and test in vmware, which at least will tell me if dependencies are fine.

10. Hi there

    It’s my first experience with pcsx2, I don’t know it it’s the right place to ask these questions , please apologize if it’sout of topic )
    I’m running a macboorkpro intel Core 2 Duo , 2.8GHz , NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphical card on 10.5.8.
    I downloaded the 3 objects , and installed succesfully X11 , nvidia cg’s package and pcsx2 .
    Launched pcsx2 , configured the bios , launched a Jap one ( what an emotion to see PS2’s browser , I ll never thank u enough for that …) then made a try on 2 old iso , mushihimesama and espgaluda ( from my personal PS2 import collection should I mention …) wich I know are working extremly well from what I saw in many videos examples .The games are launching properly but after that it s another story .If mushi runs correctly at the begginning, immediatly after starting to play the ips falls drasticly ( from a slow 40- 30 when screen is empy to a 15-10 when screen is full of ennemy explosions jewels etc ..) , not mentionning graphical glitches , for esp it s even worse , the “loading” screen launches at 300 ips and more and falls to ..1 ips as soon as the first screen appears ( no graphical glitches here though).
    I tried a lot of different setting via configuration menus via , tried with different bios , uninstalled reinstalled , it remains the same .
    Now I m quite sure my system can handle this , it should work properly doing some config changes I suppose , the all thing just works if I may say like radiant silvergun emulated on MAME …)

    Can anyone help me …?
    Was ì supposed to do something else than cliking on install during the installation of the 3 packages ?
    In the config->configure menu ->Graphics i can only access to ZZ Ogl , I thought I was supposed to chosse ZeroGs but maybe it s just the new name for it ?
    Is there a way for me to configure Cg out of command lines ( I m completely new to commad .. ) , is there a “preferences panel” for it or something like that ( I d like to switch from directx9 10 etc ) ?
    Once again , I m new to it , I don t quite get what x11 is and CG I may miss some library or others to make it run properly and ( many ) advices on how to configure it correctly
    From what I saw on the web , people with systems with lower specs and identical psx2 configuration have my 2 guinea pigs games running extremly well .

    I can give my msn if anyone would want to help me solve the problem , thank you in advance and once again Bravo for that impressive piece of work ( i m french sorry fort the english mistakes …).

11. Well, I’m running Snow Leopard so from a quick skim read I’m getting the feeling this aint gonna work for me, but, still, bloomin good job zedr0n! I mean, I didn’t really have trouble with using the terminal app, but this is another great step for the Mac version, for all the people who don’t know how terminal works.

    Can’t wait for the day pcsx 2 mac is just a single app with no additional downloads and setting up, so exciting

    Oh, and nice icon… It’s shiny

12. Hey man I have install everything that is required. I even have put in the bios. However when I start up the iso or rom or game which was kingdom hearts I just get a white screen. Nothing else. Please help what am I doing wrong?

    Comment by mike — October 20, 2009 @ 7:13 pm

13. I don’t know if this has anything to do with it and I am not very good when it come to programing or reading the language. As soon as I run a iso or rom this appears in the X11 screen. Then the X ZeroGS screen comes up completely white. the x11 screen reads as follows.

    ZZogl: creating zerogs
    ZZogl: Got Doublebuffered Visual!
    ZZogl: glX-Version 1.4
    Xlib: extension “XFree86-VidModeExtension” missing on display “/tmp/launch-iM3ApE/:0″.
    ZZogl: Depth 24
    ZZogl: you have Direct Rendering!
    ZZogl: Using multitexturing
    ZZogl: Maximun texture size is 2048 for Tex_2d and 2048 for Tex_NV
    ZZogl: Disabling MRT depth writing
    ZZogl: Disabling MRT depth writing

    SO what do I need to do to fix the problem any help would be greatly a appreciated.
