Uninstallation Assistance

My point is why hasn't anyone tried to continue the development of the Mac version? Why just let it die?

because no one in the dev team has been interested in making a mac port in the past. And it hasn't changed in the present

The problem is mainly that we dont have a mac developer. How and why should a windows or linux dev make a mac port?


Still i think there is hope for you.
Some people already try to port the emucore into other architectures (as 64bit) and gui elements get more and more platform independent. So at some point on the future i would expect again a native mac port.

Until that happens you have four different choices:
1. native 0.9.7 alpha (low compatibility)
2. wine 1.2.1 (low performance)
3. dual boot windows / bootcamp 1.2.1 (low disk space)
4. original ps2 (high compatibility, high performance, no extra disk space needed)

The problem with BootCamp is it's intel only, and also Wine though they have a PPC version it is very old (2006) and doesn't support .exe files (only win32).
What I'm looking for is a fully PowerPC compatible version of PCSX2. I don't care if it's from 2005, as long as it works (assuming there is one).

Tbh, I don't think such a version exists.
Back to your real ps2 for now, I guess

So essentially if I wanted to run this I'd have to download the source, git-pull several dependencies, compile it, test it with a slow process of trial & error that may take up to a month or more, make adjustments, and compile again?
I'm actually a little surprised you don't have a powerpc version because from what I've read RISC processors are similar enough to emulate one another (in this case powerpc emulating mips) with little performance loss in comparison to CISC emulating RISC.

As I said above, if Zedr0n didn't come to make a mc port of pcsx2, no one would have dmade one.
No one is interested in Mac dev around here.
But if you feel like trying to go on, then why not ?
I guess there are a few Mac owners around here. But you'll probably be alone in supporting it...

I really hate to ask this but back to the original topic at hand: how do I uninstall this?
I decompiled the .pkg file and it installes more than just the PCSX2 application. It installs a few libs as well. Unfortunately I don't know where they're installed at. I just need a simple list of their directory paths and I can remove them from the terminal. A simple "sudo rm /[path to file]" will take care of them.

I dont know what happens during installation of this build and i guess there are not many people around that know it. Sorry. You can not read it from the pkg?

Normslly pcsx2 devs kept the installation dirs quite clean. So i guess there is the program dir where programs are saved on your system and a configuration dir that is located where programs normally save configurations.

Well I know what's installed but I don't know where. Also I don't think a config file is something I need to worry about as they are usually only generated upon first launch, and since I couldn't even launch it it wont be a problem. Also you can pere inside .pkg files with a quicklook plugin called "Suspicious Package" and can break open a .pkg file's contents (without installing) with a utility called "The Unarchiver".
