Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/issues/578

The mac version of shad PS4 seems to be stuck with 2d games. Nothing of the more complicated stuff that the windows version runs, runs on mac.

Is this expected?

@mavethee commented on GitHub (Aug 25, 2024):

There's couple things why:

MoltenVK doesn't exactly comply Vulkan 1.3 as original requirements are.
Rosetta 2 has some limitations, e.g Until Dawn trying to map to lower portion of user area that forbiden by Rosetta 2.
Code needs a lot of work to optimize it for macOS, some newer PRs may break things.

Also to add none of the main developers in this project have a macbook to my knowledge. The port was an external contribution and maintained as such.

Id like to offer my help but I feel somebody would need to tell me what to do. I'm on an M1 Max Mac.
I can code but on projects like this and especially on gpu heavy stuff Id need some guidance.

Maybe we can add on the readme a warning for Mac user to mean that the mac version is less advanced but still tracked, so fewer games are usable and close this issue ?
