    Which game controller will work on a Mac M2?

    Hello, I play a Steam game every now and then. I used the wired xbox 360 controller (with the driver) for years. Worked perfectly fine on my classic Mac Pro. It doesn't work any longer on my new Mac Mini M2Pro. I bought a new one, the xbox wireless controller X as I read it would work on newer...

    Windows games on macOS

    For those who want to play windows games or install programs that are available only for Windows on macOS I found the app Whisky that is based on Wine, but is free unlike Crossover, Parallels or VMWare Fusion.

    M3 Max 16" 14 core CPU 30 core GPU Storage/Lifespan

    Hi, I'm looking to get a new Mac and am having some trouble with specs; for context I am coming from a late 2015 MacBook Air (questionable functionality) so anything at this point is a major upgrade. I know this machine is definitely overpowered for what I require but I am looking at it because...

    Let's create a list of game AAA titles we would like to see coming to the M series iPads and the iPhone 15 Pro. (Just hoping the list reaches the developers or studios and convinces them to make it happen) - Metal Gear Solid 1-5 - Tomb Raider, Rise of and Shadow of -

    Sony getting hit w/ similar lawsuit than the AppleStore…

    While this article is gaming related, it is in the same realm of what Apple has faced/facing now with their Apple Store. While my search-fuu is not the best here on these forums, I cannot help but see the similarities from past lawsuits against Apple. EA, anyone? REUTERS article Gist: If...

    iPhone 15 Pro iPhone 15 Pro x. GamePass/PS+?

    With the new A17 Pro chips and gaming functionality coming to iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, I'm interested: Is it possible that Microsoft and Sony roll out access to GamePass and PS Plus titles on iPhone and Mac? I'm looking forward to titles like Starfield and Fallout 4 from Bethesda in particular.

    Massive in-game stuttering since iOS/iPadOS 16+

    Have they fixed the much reported and incredibly annoying stutter in games due to ProMotion interfering with in-app settings in iOS 17 or not? There have been hundreds of reports of it here on MacRumours and elsewhere and my own personal gaming experience has definitely been set a good 5-6...

    Controller Emulation on Sonoma

    I like playing iPad games on my Mac with Apple's controller emulation so I can play games when I'm out and about with just my M1 MacBook Air keyboard and trackpad. Since trying out Sonoma though this feature just flat out doesn't work. I've tried it on multiple games and it just doesn't seem to...

    Help me identify an old-timey Classic Mac game (or not, as the case may be)

    OK, possible long shot, and the game I half-remember might not even be a Mac game… 😅 Basically, I sort of remember the first time I saw a Mac, Atari ST, Amiga and IBM PC compatible as a child. 1988 or 1989. It was a big warehouse type place, or what felt big given my age. (My family’s computer...

    Apple is using games as advertisements and missing the point

    Edit/tldr: Apple are showing off years old AAA games to show how powerful their chips are. But gaming is far bigger and varied than AAA games. They need to help cultivate development- AAA and indie. I don’t feel like they are doing that. Hey guys. I want to preface this by saying that I love...

    Early intel/PPC gaming videos

    I've started making short youtube videos showing both Windows, Mac and emulated games running on my mid 2009 macbook geforce 9400m. I'll show my g4 powerbook running some rarer titles also. I'm actually surprised at how the little 9400m goes. Its definitely a dramatic jump over the previous...

    iPhone 14 Pro Why isn’t Apple fixing the touch input stutter on iPhone 14 Pro models?

    Since I received my iPhone 14 PM I immediately noticed there was an issue with the touch input of the device. In games, you’ll notice a stutter whenever tapping the display, and if your fingers are held down on the screen (using a virtual joystick for example), you get framedrops and stuttering...

    iPhone 14 Pro iPhone 14 Pro Max stuttering in games

    I'm not sure if this is an issue with iOS 16 or all iPhones 14 pros, but there is stuttering with most of my games on this new phone. It's supposed to be the fastest SoC in a phone yet it's stuttering and dropping frames in games like Terraria or Monster Hunter Stories. I have around 40 games...

    iPod Recover Games from iPod Classic

    To my horror I lost my collection of old Click iPod games from my library. I still have them on my iPod Classic. What is the best way to pull them off so I have them available for restoration? I have a restored PPC Mini running Tiger and Leopard with iTunes 10.6.3. But with it things only go...

    Other OpenEmu Lite - "Just works" emulator for 2D console games on OS X 10.7 – 10.9

    For as long as I've been a Mac user, there's one class of app I've never been able to find—a set of really good emulators for classic 2D game consoles like the NES and SNES. Most emulators consider Mac compatibility an afterthought, and it shows. The Mac version of RetroArch uses a confusing...

    What are current good adventure games on the Mac?

    I used to love the old Sierra and LucasArts games like The Dig, Full Throttle, King's Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, etc in the 1990s. Then I just stopped playing games for a super long time. I understand TellTale is (or was) making games like that. Does anyone have any recommendations for something...
