MacOS Builds

[The_Ur3an_Myth]

Alright so as the title suggests, this is a thread for providing links to the latest compiled version of PPSSPP for MacOS. I'll try to compile a new build each time PPSSPP is updated and post it here.

N.B. If anyone is going to do some compiling too, make sure that you're using a version of MacOS that is older (I am using High Sierra), from what I've experienced on Catalina and Mojave, this ensures compatibility on later versions of MacOS (unless someone can correct me on this)


v1.10.3 ---> http://j.gs/23397563/ur3anmyth
(if above link is dead use this instead for v.1.10.3 ---> http://q.gs/23397563/ppsspp1103)

v1.12.3 ---> http://q.gs/23397563/theur3anmyth
v1.12.3 (alternate link) ---> https://link-target.net/589872/ppsspp-v1123-macos

Latest: v1.14.4 --> https://direct-link.net/589872/ppsspp-v1144

edit #1: set sharing settings on Drive to all because I'm a dumbass
edit #2: was away for a while, had problems compiling for v1.11.x too but v1.12.3 is up

Thank you very very very much - this one works on my MacOS 10.9.5, too!

I've literally subscribed to the forums just to thank you! The official macOS build
was giving me (Big Sur 11.2) audio problems, with horrible crackling and popping every 3 seconds on several games I've tried. I have given a shot to all workarounds I could find, including deselecting audio sync, activating all speed-up options, lowering the resolution to the minimum and activating frameskip. I was about to give up and use OpenEmu for my PSP games, which is very fine, but it isn't customizable at all; no enhancements, no cheats, not even language selection (I use European roms).
With this version you've compiled, everything seems in good working order! Thank you very much!

You're very much welcome, the issues you were having were probably fixed after the version you were using. I also didn't think it would work on Big Sur and that the developers would need to accommodate for it but I guess compiling on an older version of MacOS is the best solution for now. Glad its working for you

Could you post your build instructions? The one on the website doesn't work and I'd love to make a "Universal" app. I'm on the M1 MacBook Pro

I used the instructions on this site. However I have run into problems trying to compile v.1.11.3, at first it was due to rustc having errors but now it just doesn't work, it compiles just fine but the app doesn't work, has the ? icon.

OMG, it worked! thank you so much!

Are you using the

Code:

./b.sh --qtbrew

command? If so those never worked for me.
Instead I've been using

Code:

cmake path/to/ppsspp
make -j 4

. Do ensure that you've followed the 3 git commands at the start

[ClarkKent]

Many many thanx for the new version! Works perfect on MacOS 10.9.5!

[ClarkKent]

Can you build the latest release for MacOS? Still on 10.9.5 here...

And will there be an M1 build?

Not sure if the builds I will provide will work for M1 and above as I do not have that SoC.
