gaming

Hello. Do you think, for cca 10 years the Apple arcade is going to evolve like Apple music section and iPads? Nowadays Apple sells great earbuds, iPad became a computer. Apple arcade is bad but as they did bought Beats by Dre to kill it and use their technology to make the best possibile music...

I need the Mac for office work and light gaming. I mostly play games like terraria, rimworld and factorio. They all work fine on my 8gb Windows machine. The air is not a gaming pc but it can run older games and 2D games decently. Why get 16? It won’t run newer games, apps like office will be...

Hi! I recently bought a new MacBook Air M1 and I want to play the GTA San Andreas but the only option is buying the iOS version since is not available for macOS on Steam and other platforms, but I don't know if it would be "playable" giving that is not optimized for Mac and the use of keyboard...

Hi, I was deciding to build a pc next year however since The Mac mini with M1 came out my mind is kind of 50/50 whether to go for Mac mini (which will save me a lot of money compared to custom-built pc) I mainly do gaming on pc which is why I was deciding to build a new pc. My question is, how...

Hi, I've recently bought a new m1 macbook 13" and so far I've enjoyed it to the fullest. But the other day i tried something that raised questions in my mind. Now i know that the macbook 13" isn't intended for gaming, but i felt like trying some of my favorite titles to see how they ran on it. I...

I have a MacBook Pro 15'' 2019 Intel i9 8cores 32GB RAM and a Radeon Pro 560X 4GB graphics card... I recently got into gaming on bootcamp (VR as well) and I was surprised at how well it handled them. But of course I wanted a better gaming experience with better graphics so I ordered an eGPU...

Posted this also on reddit ... controller support seems fine via things like Apple Arcade, but elsewhere is not working on M1 Macs. I only have a Dualshock PS4 Controller to test out, but it's working on Big Sur on Intel Macs. I tested input on 'Controllers Lite' and saw all the buttons are...

Needs Big Sur 11.1 beta "I can't tell you how cool that is; there is so much emulation going on under the covers. Imagine - a 32-bit Windows Intel binary, running in a 32-to-64 bridge in Wine / CrossOver on top of macOS, on an ARM CPU that is emulating x86 - and it works! This is just so cool."...

Hi everyone, First off, yes I understand Macs are not the best for gaming unfortunately - maybe that will change now. For a game like World of Warcraft does the M1 chip with let’s say 16GB of unified memory on a 13in MBP have a better chance? also, does unified memory significantly improve the...

Hi, I was wondering, does anyone know of any games that you can control by mouse and keyboard? Like you can with first person shooters on PC. I‘ve tried call of duty but strangely enough it only supports controls via screen. I know the iPad Pro’s are more then capable at it. - Hessel

This is the first game I've ever written. It's written in C89 so I got it to compile with Macintosh Programmer's Workshop for Mac OS 8+, Windows 95 OSR 2.5, and Mac OS X/11. The Mac OS X version is ONE universal binary for Panther and above, PPC/PPC64/i386/x86_64 that should even run on ARM Macs...

Hello all! New to the forum here! I am going to buy the new 27-inch iMac, and I would like to hear some thoughts on the configuration I have in mind. The main use of the iMac will be music production, with use of a lot of tracks and third party plugins. I would like to game a little too on the...

So I dusted off my PowerBook G4 12" 1.5ghz 1.25gb fx 5200 64mb, and wanted to try playing some old PPC games. I recall reading the 5200 has some terrible performance compared to ATI cards released in PowerBooks at the time. So that got me thinking if its worth it to pull out my iBook 1.25ghz...

I play a lot of FPS games on my iPhone 8 (256GB). I keep it in a UAG Monarch Series case, and I use Zagg InvisibleShield Glass+ Privacy for screen protection. I replace the tempered glass regularly enough with the warranty. I've had to significantly lower the graphic settings on any game I...

Hey all, I wanted to start recording/streaming some gameplay (using a Game Capture Card from PS4) and needed a more portable set-up. I was wondering if the latest MacBook Pro 13" would be able to cope with the workload from OBS/streaming in general. To clarify, this is NOT for gaming from, but...

Howdy, I recently bought the base i9 16" Macbook Pro and use it mainly for MacOS for rendering and Software Dev. I also have bootcamp running mainly for some medium-heavy gaming and have Mac Fan Control installed alongside Throttlestop. I have turbo boost disabled in Throttlestop and custom...

I have been trying to play Division 2 on a 2019 16" Macbook Pro (i9, 32gb ram, AMD 5500) running Bootamp / Windows 10. I am also running an external 4k display at 60hz, which SHOULD be fine... but the performance is abysmal. The performance is better when i use the regular laptop display...

Hi All, A plethora of information out there but sifting it down to find my ideal setup/specs has been painful and confusing and I'm hoping you can hep! I ideally want to continue to use my 2015 27" iMac (see pic for specs) to game and stream at the same time, with an additional 1080p monitor...

Hi guys! I want to buy a new 2019 16-inch MBP in a few months. I will use it primarily for work, but also would like to game on it. Yeah, I know Mac isn't for gaming, but in terms of mobility it's the best choice for me atm. I've run into a lot of issues with throttling and performance...

*****Update***** *****Information is out of date! Shadow was bought by another company who raised the price. It still seems to be a good service, but just know that it will cost more money and the hardware may be different.***** For those who don't know, Shadow is a cloud gaming service. What...
