  1. I guess you're decent enough to not link to their repository, but you should have seen that the devs don't want you to make tutorials on yaagl in public channels.

  2. PC version of Genshin Impact 4.5 ran well on Whisky for me, on macOS 14.5. I created a bottle container in an external hard drive in ex-FAT format and had my game downloaded using JDownloader from the official links.

  3. Thank you Andrew! I still have an issue with my PS5 Dual sense controller. It shows up as an Xbox controller in the UI (even when changing the name to a DualShock 4 Wireless controller as some people advise). Any tips on this? Thanks

  4. hii, apparently playcover doesn’t work on sonoma 14.4.1 anymore? T__T Since I only have 8gb ram on my macbook m1 the only option I have left to be able to play genshin was side loading it through playcover but I can’t. I tried look stuff on reddit and people are saying playcover doesn’t work on sonoma anymore. Can someone please help me

  5. Hi I have few questions,would be glad if someone answers
    1. Can I assign some storage space to ram?
    2. Is it harmful to play genshin on mac? I mean will mac lose its performance over time?

  6. Hey man, I was watching back your stream where you played mario wonder and stuff but I noticed that even though you have an M3 max chip it was still lagging. What is the M3 chip actually used for in switch emulation?

  7. Hi I would like to ask if there is some fix for game crashing in archon quest? The game keeps crashing in the same moment of the same dialogue. Everything works well in the game, but in this archon quest, it keeps crashing. Thanks for help.

  8. hello, im having issues installing ravendawn in crossover app, could u help me? when the download finishes and i launch the game, it poops a failure message. i tried parallels already, and it feels cluncky playing on it, and portingkit constatly crashes the game, my last hope is ur crossover videos, please
