Mac Os Catalina 2010 Mac Pro Hack

Hello all!
Of course, today is my first post on this forums as well as my first day of this new account. Regardless, I want to present the new wrapper created for PCSX2 to work properly on Mojave and possibly above. I only tested this on Mojave 10.14.5, so I have no idea if it works below that since the wrapper is ran on 64-bit wine engine instead of 32-bit. I also have no idea if this also will work on Catalina beta, either... and I probably will not test it on Catalina for now. And of course, this port isn't perfect but it works.
And yes, I've tried options here on the forums to get PCSX2 work on macOS, such as PCSX2-CE. Just didn't work as it should for me. And indeed, since Mojave is the last OS to allow 32-bit applications and Catalina no longer allows 32-bit, I've created wrapper to work with Mojave and above, so... HA IN YOUR FACE, APPLE!

P.R.O.M. - PCSX2 Running on Mac
Created by Amarante (firelad97) - Current version: 1.01
This wrapper is intended to work on 64-bit versions of macOS, including Catalina!
Should work on 32-bit versions of macOS as well since the wrapper itself runs on 32-bit version of Wine.
PROM had moved to GitHub. It can be found here. All new updates will be put in there instead, and will follow a new build from v1.1.0 onwards. I will continue to maintain this thread.

Current update:
v1.1.0 beta is out. Download the latest version here. Follow the installation steps here.

Apr 15, 2020  When you have a compatible Mac and the macOS Catalina download completes, but there’s no prompt for the installation to continue, then search in your Mac’s application folder for a. These are almost the same Macs that support the previous version of the macOS - macOS Mojave (10.14)- but macOS Catalina (10.15) does not support the Mid-2010 and Mid-2012 Mac Pro models. Perhaps the author of Apple's press release forgot about the Mid-2012 Mac Pro. Identification Help. If you're using one of these computers with OS X Mavericks or later, you can install macOS Catalina. Your Mac also needs at least 4GB of memory and 12.5GB of available storage space, or up to 18.5GB of storage space when upgrading from OS X Yosemite or earlier.

Sad news for owners of Mid 2010 and Mid 2012 Mac Pros, no Catalina for them.

Hack

In my previous article, I wrote that all Macs that run macOS 10.14 Mojave will also be able to run macOS 10.15 Catalina. However, this isn’t entirely true.

The Mid 2010 and Mid 2012 Mac Pro are the only two Macs that are capable of running Mojave that won’t be able run Catalina when it is released later this year.

Digging deeper into this, it appears the Mid 2010 and Mid 2012 Mac Pro could only run Mojave providing the graphics card had been upgraded to a Metal-compatible card – see Apple’s list of supported cards. Otherwise they could only run up to macOS 10.13 High Sierra.

However, even if you own a Mid 2010 or Mid 2012 Mac Pro that has a Metal-capable graphics card and is running Mojave, you will not be able to upgrade it to Catalina.

I am unsure of the reason for this, but I am sure there will be many Mid 2010 and Mid 2012 Mac Pro owners who aren’t happy by this news.

I find it a little strange that Apple will continue to support the Mid 2012 11″ MacBook Air, their lowest offering (with the exception of the Late 2012 Mac mini) costing $999 on launch, but fail to support the 2012 Mac Pro, their highest offering costing $2,499, both released in the same year.

We can only hope that some clever developer will release an unofficial patch that will allow Catalina to install and extend the life of these two Mac Pro models.
