The steps to install it are as follows:

xQuartz
To run Pcsx2, you need X11 but not the one that comes with Leopard/Tiger. You can download the latest release of X11 from the XQuartz Project page. Double-click on the package to install it.
NVidia CG framework
Download the package for Mac OS X here. Mount the disk image and double-click on the installer. Follow the instruction to install the Framework.
PCSX2/mac + plugins
The latest package is always here. This will install all the necessary runtime libs and put the application bundle into your /Applications folder. The rest is as simple as double clicking it.

P.S. Thanks go to nestorespinoza for the icon Smile

The repository is git-based so to get it you just need

Code:

git clone http://quant0r.com/git/pcsx2.git

the bleeding edge(0.9.6) is on master branch, to build stable(0.9.5) svn you could do the following

Code:

git clone http://quant0r.com/git/pcsx2.git pcsx2_0.9.5

cd pcsx2_0.9.5

git checkout --track -b 0.9.5 origin/0.9.5

git submodule init

git submodule update

./build.sh

git clone http://quant0r.com/git/pcsx2.git

cd pcsx2_0.9.5

git checkout --track -b 0.9.5 origin/0.9.5

git submodule init

git submodule update

./build.sh

This will also compile all the available plugins and put everything in ./bin directory. There are issues with this on Snow Leopard as it has 64-bit default compilation mode which breaks everything, might be some other issues.]]> <![CDATA[0.9.6 progress]]> http://forums.pcsx2.net/thread-10694.html Mon, 05 Oct 2009 11:27:54 +0000 http://forums.pcsx2.net/thread-10694.html This will probably take a while, but at least i now have a working binary Smile

I've done limited testing but so far i've noticed less missing textures in all games, kingdom hearts finally supports antialiasing, and maybe a bit of speed increase...

I've had a complete drive failure so i had to recompile almost everything from scratch so lib dependencies might have gone awry, do tell if it doesn't work for you. You'll probably also need the updated libs package http://pcsx2-mac.quant0r.com/files/Pcsx2libs.pkg]]>

I just installed my copy of Connectix Virtual Game Station on an iMac G3 I found last weekend at a Good Will for $50. I'm very glad to see that the Mac is getting some emulation attention.

My only gripe is that this port is not better advertised. Biggrin

I found out from NGEmu's post about the PCSX teams merging. This sort of deal would be a huge hit on Digg, I'll bet.

Code:

sudo touch ~/.profile

Then open it with whatever text editor you prefer (let's say nano):

Code:

sudo nano ~/.profile

Add the following line to the bottom and save it:

Code:

alias pcsx2='export TEMPPWD=`pwd` && cd /path/to/pcsx2/bin/ && ./pcsx2 && cd $TEMPPWD'

The first part creates a temporary variable called TEMPPWD and sets it to your current directory. Then it cd's to the pcsx2/bin directory and runs the executable. When you close PCSX2, it cd's back to whatever directory you started in. This is all you need to do if you launch it from Terminal, but it still won't work in xterm, since by default X11 doesn't start a login shell when you open it. You can fix that pretty easily, though:

Code:

defaults write org.x.X11 app_to_run "/usr/X11/bin/xterm -ls"

Now you can just open X11 and type "pcsx2" (without the quotes) and hit enter.]]>
