How to Improve Performance on PCSX2 for Mac?

[gossamer]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to using PCSX2 on Mac, and I’m having some performance issues when trying to play PS2 games. I’ve recently installed the latest version of PCSX2 on my MacBook Pro (macOS 13.2), but the games run pretty slow, with noticeable lag and low FPS.

I’ve tried adjusting some settings, but I’m not sure if I’m optimizing it the right way. Is there any recommended configuration or tweaks that can help improve the performance on Mac? Specifically, I’m playing games like Final Fantasy X and Kingdom Hearts and would love to get smoother gameplay.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
