This is a very specific use case but hear me out: My 27” iMac gets ~60 FPS running an older game from 2003 in 4K using CrossOver. I used Migration Assistant and ran the same game on my MBP M1Pro 10/16 and it ran at 7FPS. I reconfigured the graphics in-game thinking it needed to adapt to the...

Hello everyone, I hope you are all as excited as I am for official launch day! I am looking for information about your experience with Parallels’ gaming performance on the M1 Pro or M1 Max. I have reviewed the list of M1 game compatibility/performance through Parallels...

I mean real gaming. Games like Cyberpunk, borderlands, fall cry 6, final fantasy XIV, world of Warcraft, minecraft… Not these arcade “games”. It’s great their chips are faster and reduced power usage but compatibility matters. No nvidia discrete graphics card option is a mistake. A lot of...

Does anyone know any games that actually support promotion?

Hi all, still trying to purchase a Xbox series X and yet still Out of stock or more than the £450 price they are meant to be!? So frustrating! It can't still be related to Covid can it? Tesco is not advertising anymore Currys is out of stock this site is try to sell at £649! and Game is out...

Hi all! Way back in the day (circa 2012) I restarted the InsideMacGames podcast, and after a few episodes, I renamed it to my own thing. This ran for 30+ episodes, ending sometime in 2015. Honestly, I never did much to promote it. But I had some fabulous co-hosts, and we had some very fun...

Hi Everyone! Can anyone tell me which gaming chair does shroud uses? I want to buy the same. I am no issue of budget at all. Need your recommendation weather I should go for it or not?

Apologies if this is a double post or covered elsewhere, but most of what I saw was relating to dual boot setups. I’ve got a Mid-2012, Mac Pro5,1, A1289(EMC 2629) lying around that I’d like to use exclusively with Windows for gaming. I realize it’s probably not the best computer when it comes...

Hi. I'm going to replace my 2009 24 inch iMac soon and am trying to decide whether to go for the 2020 iMac 27 inch or wait for the larger M1(X) 27/30 inch iMac. I know coming from such an old machine that either will be a great machine but I also love Battlefield 3 for casual gaming so I know...

Hi, I'm new to forums and this is my first post. Recently a rumor was posted about the possibility of Apple working on a Nintendo Switch style gaming console. In my humble opinion Apple can make iPod touch a good gaming console by following upgrades: - A14 Bionic - 4GB RAM (at least) -...

Prior to 11.3 update the controller was working fine whereas now MBP 16” is detecting PS5 controller as 2 controllers. The picture is from Stadia but I’ve checked with random gamepad testing website as well and it’s detecting 2 controllers, so the issue is with Mac OS and not Stadia. Anyone else...

I’m trying to play some games on the 2005 eMac 1.42ghz model, and they drop to less than 30 FPS One example is The Sims Complete Collection. At random times it’ll freeze for half a second. The other issue is the game lags when I hold ctrl (command? I’m using a windows keyboard, I don’t have an...

Hi all, I am on this nostalgia trip and I want to run my beloved Unreal and Unreal Tournament on a G4 emac. The versions I bought on GOG are clearly useless, my original cds from the 1998/1999 leave me with a classic only executable and that is far from optimal on a machine (1.25 ghz eMac) that...

I've always used custom built Windows PCs however I'm considering purchasing a Macbook Pro in the near future. Since I use an iPhone and iPad I really can't foresee any workflow issues except one thing: gaming. I'm not a hardcore gamer but here's my more nuanced thought process/questions...

Hi ! We are working on a mobile game called SUPERPUNK Tactics. The game development started with a couple of ideas for a "Final Fantasy Tactics but online and PvP". We have been working on the game on and off for almost a year now. SUPERPUNK Tactics is an Asynchronous, Turn-based and Player...

I'm observing the behaviors while gaming on the M1 and it's so fascinating to see the artifacts of how the GPU works. Couple interesting observations: Checker pattern in layers rendered (clearly the chunked behavior) and some artifact of the game not knowing the framebuffer is not one large...

i use wineskin to play games but sometimes when i click it it wont open the game i have to go to advance then click "test" to play the game. All i want is to click wineskin to open the app itself. Minor problem but i want a solution lol

I have a cMP5,1 with a Vega 56 that I mostly use for light video editing, web surfing, email, media consumption, iPhone management, etc. While I do work in IT, the vast majority of my work is in either Windows, UNIX or Linux. I've decided to test its gaming capabilities to see if it might make a...

I love the design of the iMac and were wondering if it could be converted into a gaming machine. I have found myself a used iMac 27" from Late 2013 and I am trying to understand if it would be possible to upgrade more or less everything apart from the chasis. In other words, I would like to do...

Hello, Does anyone have any experience with plugging a 120 or 144hz monitor to an iMac via BootCamp? Is there something I need to know before buying one (adapters, conditions, etc...) It will be used mostly (if not only) via BootCamp for gaming. My iMac specs are; iMac 2019 Late 2019 i9...
