Apple released a BOATLOAD of new Mac’s a little bit ago, ranging from the little M4 Mac Mini all the way to the powerhouse M4 Max MacBook Pro. All of these chips are incredibly powerful, and with the recent developments to Crossover and Game Porting Toolkit, they might just be amazing gaming machines as well. So I posed the question… Can I play Every Sonic game on Mac? Let’s get right into it.

what a perfect video, Im getting an M3 macbook air soon and have been watching videos of old sonic games wondering whether or not my new mac would let me revisit those old games, and I now find this video perfectly crafted for me just uploaded a few days ago lool what are the odds.
Every sonic game in Chromebook!
Strangely there are native Sonic games on Mac, such as Sonic Dream Team, Sonic Racing, and Sonic Mania Plus via Netflix.
I keep getting an infinite loading screen of 16 bit sonic running for Unleashed on RCPS3, you have any clue what that’s about? I’m on an M4 Pro
No… no PC port of Sonic 06?
(Sonic P-06 in the corner)
How does Sonic P-06 handle on the M4?
4:22 average ps3 sonic unleashed experience
how can you actually play all these games on a Mac?
i have an intel i9 macbook pro with 32 gigs of ram but i better not run any game on that 😅
it sometimes overheats on the easiest tasks it doesnt have the fans of the m series pros
Sega Superstars Tennis has an official Mac port, btw 🙂
I know the video says "mainline" but the title says "every Sonic game", so… I would still want to point it out lol
I dont play Sonic games on PC.
However, this is a cool video 👍
Bro, 8GB of RAM 😂😂😂
you forgot 3ds, ds, gba, ngpc, and wii
dont forget ryujinx/yuzu which im pretty sure work perfect on mac
I really hope we get official ports of Sonic games on Mac. Mac devices have proven to be powerful enough for gaming in recent years. Capcom has done Mac ports of almost all of their modern resident evil games and they play wonderfully. More companies and studios should look into Mac gaming, I feel like SEGA should be the next one to dabble in that space.
puh LEASE help me with running unleashed on my m3 pro MacBook Pro, i couldnt find any way to get the non hdd version of unleahsed off (off my jailbroken ps3 with unleashed ofc)
Bro when he likes the game: 🤐
Bro when he dislikes the game (I like em): 🗣️🗣️‼️‼️
Anyways this shi hella interesting. Never gonna get a mac, but hey, the more you know.
Thanks the roast Mac
Summary: Don't buy a Mac expecting to game much on it. I just have my Steam Deck for gaming and my MacBook Air and Mac mini for everything else.
1:50 I should probably say that the parts of GPTK that Crossover uses is WINE. Crossover is also WINE but they're both modifed for better compatibility with games and stuff.
Man I wonder if dream team works🤔
I see my waiting to upgrade my 2019 macbook pro to a 2026 macbook pro will be worth it… even though I will already have a desktop PC.
But I'mma just have it or ease of portablity. Macs just… work. Their fans also don't make them become jets. Even at max rpm, they don't sound almost like a vacuum cleaner.
8:10 skill issue
Meanwhile in intel Mac purgatory, celebrates by running the games natively…and a looming End of Service deadline for Windows 10 and Intel Macs.
you completely missed the fact that sonic p-06 exists. while it is a fan game, it includes only the parts of sonic 06 that people care about.
with the full release of gptk 2, avx/avx2 is now supported, so xenia might be plausible now. i can't test it out because i'm on intel lmao
you could have played p06
for shadow the hedgehog I believe the smoke lagging the game is the overall problem
I think there is a config to fix it
my recommendation would be downloading shadow reloaded mod and using the config the dev team recommends
I used Whisky (crossover but free, also uses wine) to play Sonic Adventure 2 on my M4 Mac Mini and it ran perfectly.
I’ve been playing through heroes on my Mac and tried out some fan games and they were pretty good
You didn’t even show any Saturn footage.
You forgot sonic schoolhouse, the best game of them all
I should specify that there's a very different, and frankly BETTER, version of Xenia called "Xenia Canary" which runs the game well on other PCs from start to finish, including consistent performance with mostly stable handling.
I'd recommend looking into that.
where the fuck are the chapters
Bro there is a sonic 06 port on pc sonic p-06 you should check it out~!
Dream Team just doesn't exist 😢
Amazing video, what's with all these new YouTubers coming LOL
Kerp going, loving the commentary and editing and the video isn't crammed short or dragged long either. Keep this up 💪🏽🔥
Mac gang winning
