<ul>
<li>My work laptop (Macbook Pro M1 (2020)).</li>

I use <a href="https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2">PCSX2</a>. Currently it
supports macOS on nightly builds, but it's good enough.

You can download it

</p>
<p>
I recommend to use

if forum dies. Please give thanks to
<a href="https://ko-fi.com/xxtherockoxx" rel="nofollow">xXtheRockoXx</a>
for his work.
</p>
<p>
After download HD textures, please extract then copy to PCSX2 texture
folder. Remember to rename it to serial name (SLUS-21134, ...), because
different region has different serial name.
</p>
<p>Settings below are for Resident Evil 4 only.</p>
<p>
If using macOS please switch Graphics/Renderer to Vulkan. For other OS, I
haven't tested yet.
</p>
<p>In Graphics/Rendering:</p>
<ul>
<li>Internal Resolution: 3x Native</li>
<li>Anisotropic Filtering: 16x</li>
</ul>

For hacking, create file with content below in PCSX2 cheat folder.
Remember to rename it to crc.pnach (013E349D.pnach, ...).
