Ok, i tried creating a binary which would work on other macs

First, grab the gtk redistributable at http://pcsx2-mac.quant0r.com/files/gtk.tar.gz. When you unpack it you’ll get two files:

gtk_dist.tgz
install_gtk.sh

Open Terminal, cd to the directory where these 2 files are and type ./install-gtk.sh

This would ask you for your password(because it would copy the files to /usr/local/gtkx11) and will also check if /usr/local/gtkx11 exists. If it does then you’ll get a message

/usr/local/gtkx11 already exists, delete it if you are sure you want to replace it

and you would need to manually delete the directory if you want to replace it.

Second, you also need Nvidia CG framework for mac which you can get at NVidia

Then you just get latest http://pcsx2-mac.quant0r.com/files/pcsx2.tar.gz, unpack it wherever, copy bios and launch pcsx2.

Please test because it does work on my mac(but I only moved my /usr/local/gtkx11 to another place for testing) but this is only for gtk dependencies I see.

-update-
Seems like the above isn’t enough. You also need to copy to /usr/local/lib the .dylib files from the following archives
http://pcsx2-mac.quant0r.com/files/libs.tar.gz
http://pcsx2-mac.quant0r.com/files/sdl.tar.gz

and run ./install_glew.sh from
http://pcsx2-mac.quant0r.com/files/glew.tar.gz

Also check that you have latest xquartz installed

I’ve been trying to fix some stuff related to GL_SECONDARY_COLOR recently and it seems that it was this that was broken with ffx, thankfully it works now.

Well, seems like using X11 and apple opengl takes its toll on emulation. Here is the comparison on ffxii

It’s almost 2 times difference Granted, it’s AA4x but I wonder if it should be like this.
The AA2x is at 25fps btw, and with no bugs with those shadows but much less eye candy.

I think i really should update zerogs to 0.97.2, things must have changed quite a lot, or at least i hope so.

And another dirty-dirty hack to make mtgs work But seems like it’s worth it…

Does somebody know what the average fps was for ffxii on 0.9.4?

Yeah, i’ve managed to fix it. I’m posting a video but bear in mind that real fps are in pictures as seems like video recording takes its toll on performance.

No mtgs/dc as of yet, so performance is lacking

yeah, sounds unbeliveable but it’s true. With mtgs/dc it’s up to 30 fps which is the standard for disgaea I believe.

Can’t do the video because it will drop the speed too much with mtgs/dc but here are the screens

Seems like it’s working

Ok, going forward. I’ve spent last few nights trying to fix the recompilers. Seems like leopard is very, very sensitive to stack alignment and in pcsx2 code there are lots of time when the stack is misaligned(what with inline asm everywhere). So far, i’ve managed to get japan bios 1.0 to run.

It runs on 15-20 fps, this is debug build of pcsx2, no dc/mgts. Is this roughly the same on windows? The interpreter mode is 2fps on this build

Yeah, here is the video
