MacOS and Transferring from Different Systems
=============================================

|     The above steps will get you most of the way there, the PCSX2
  application steps should translate most of the way, but will look a
  little bit different, and they won’t need to be done on your windows
  machine/VM

Information for VMs
-------------------

| 
| What is a VM? A VM is a virtual machine. This guide will refer to it
  as a VM from now on.
| If you need a guide for installing windows under KVM (Linux) you can
  find that
  `here <https://getlabsdone.com/10-easy-steps-to-install-windows-10-on-linux-kvm/>`__.
  If you need a guide for installing under VirtualBox in MacOS, you can
  find that
  `here <https://www.howtogeek.com/657464/how-to-install-a-windows-10-virtualbox-vm-on-macos/>`__.
  If you’re using a VM, you will need to copy them over either via a
  shared folder in your chosen virtualization software, or via SMB by
  creating a network share to the C:\\Emulation folder under windows and
  then navigating to smb://vmip/Emulation (Example:
  smb://192.168.1.15/Emulation) if you don’t know the IP, you can get it
  by opening **cmd** from the start menu, and typing **ipconfig**. Also
  open **firewall.cpl** and disable the firewall in the VM so you can
  access the folder.

| Make sure everyone has at least read access as you’ll be copying the
  files from there
| To get the IP, right click start, click **"Windows Terminal"** or
  **"Command Prompt"**, whichever option you have

| Type **ipconfig**
| |image157|
| Then find the IPv4 address of your network adapter.

Physical Machine
----------------

|     If you’re using a physical machine to setup the mod instead, all
  you need to do is copy the contents of the Emulation folder to a USB
  flash drive, or SD card or similar.

Setting up the files on Linux/Steam Deck/MacOS
----------------------------------------------

| 
|     Once your mods are copied, you will then copy the contents of your
  MOD folder under C:\\Emulation\\MOD to your Linux\\Mac computer, and
  then point PCSX2 to the ELF.
| You will also need to copy the textures folder from the PCSX2 folder
  on windows, along with all 3 cheats folders to ~/.config/PCSX2 (This
  location is applicable to Linux Native and AppImage installs)
| On Mac, double check where your textures and cheats paths are in your
  emulator and then copy them over as needed.
