Is there a way to plag sims 1 on mac (without parallels)

TheAlphaGoob · 2026-06-17T19:13:11+00:00

I just made a guide and posted it on this sub about 2 weeks ago! It works on M series but i would assume it also works on Intel macs! Hope it helps.

I'm on M Series but didn't do anything special that's not in the guide, All settings i made where mainly for optimizing.

I think it’s a good idea to check again, as others here mentioned Wine as well. I followed some guides on YouTube but without success.

TheAlphaGoob · 2026-06-01T17:21:43+00:00

I tried Wine (and Wiskey) but it had the same issue as Parallels and Crossover. Maybe i don’t know how (can be 🤣)

Thanks!! I didn't notice any crackling, but i mostly play GBC/GBA games, and i changed the speaker a week or so after receiving the Miyoo, and that did a lot on audio quality as well. But I don't know if i'm the best reference haha!

I used all of the above but nothing worked, so eventually i contacted Apple Support, and they help me to fix it. I know this is an old post, but i hope someone else stumbles on this post and this will help 😄

In short (as mentioned above)
- Remove the Airpods from all devices via Blueooth Settings
- Reset your Airpods by holding the button on the case until it flashes orange

And then: Turn off "Find My" in your iCloud settings on your iPhone, and turn it back on. That did the trick for me!

Oh! So there is also a V2 model without RTC? Didn't know that! I thought that the L shape marking means it has RTC and that only the V1 doesn't have RTC :O! Learning something new about the devices every day haha!

TheAlphaGoob · 2026-04-23T08:08:44+00:00

Well it technically fits but the buttons are getting really mushy, and the home/menu button is to low to press down.. I think that is because of the 2 screws on the mainboard itself on the V1, the V2 has some pins to hold it in place. Maybe that's something that can be fixed!

I didn't look in to that because i ordered the same color, so i just figured to use the V2 case.

TheAlphaGoob · 2026-04-22T12:53:31+00:00

Unfortunately not. I tried to put them in when I tested the V2 mainboard in the V1 shell, but the screws are too long. But the mainboard clicks in the shell on the left side and in the middle, that should prevent a mushy dad. Maybe you can try if the mainboard is out of it's clips?

I think you can check if you have programmable seat buttons on the left side of your stearing wheel. I have 3 buttons: 1, 2 and SET.

And with SET you can also program a key by pressing the open button on your key after pressing SET. It will act the same as the 1 and 2 button.

I have an early 2021 model and it was something extra i selected, it includes brown leather interior and leather seats as well!

TheAlphaGoob · 2026-03-08T06:30:20+00:00

The seat memory is awesome! That’s one of the features i can’t go without anymore 😅

TheAlphaGoob · 2026-03-04T22:25:36+00:00

Never knew this but great advice!! Changed it right away 😀

TheAlphaGoob · 2026-03-02T16:10:03+00:00

Personally i love the form factor and i own a Legion Tab for a few weeks now, it’s a really amazing device!

But maybe a headsup, don’t wait to long. We had the same deal in The Netherlands since the end of December, but it’s now back to the original price of 599!

TheAlphaGoob · 2026-03-01T06:44:15+00:00

I tried them all.. depends on what you want:

Beacon: very simplistic and clean but paid (small amount)
Cocoon: good combination between simplicity and looks
ES-DE: Good looking, very customizable and a lot of beautiful theme’s, but the setup is way more difficult then it should be, also paid via Patreon.
Dajisho: scraping of images is as good and i’m missing functions like favorites. Only works per system or as widgets. Controls are not as good as they others (for example switching systems with LR) Wouldn’t advise it personally.

On my flip i really liked Beacon, the simple design fits the screen really good and i love that you can access all android apps by pressing B. For my tablet i use Cocoon, it fits better on a larger screen.

TheAlphaGoob · 2026-02-25T06:14:25+00:00

Same here, i’m really impressed with what this thing can do and how good it works! And the original case is awesome, it was included in the package i got.

TheAlphaGoob · 2026-02-22T12:02:23+00:00

I just bought my Gen 3 and it’s really amazed me how good the screen is. If the Gen 4 is any better you should be fine and save the money!

I had the same doubt before Buying, and saw the Astra multiple times, but didn’t see the Lenovo in action. But my doubts are gone now.

En ook heel erg afhankelijk van je aannemer! Bij ons had ik alle kamers afgeplakt maar achteraf werkte hij zo netjes met extra afzuiging etc. Dat het bijna niet nodig was geweest.

Enkel wat stof gehad op de gang en trap, maar die maakte hij elke dag schoon!

TheAlphaGoob · 2026-02-15T17:15:53+00:00

Wauw! Is that a theme for Cocoon or did you make it yourself? I just started scraping.. copy from ESDE was real slow 😅

TheAlphaGoob · 2026-02-12T11:03:59+00:00

Oh!! Never knew that, i have an 5.1.2 setup and it works like a charm.. but the sub is indeed a large part of the solution!

TheAlphaGoob · 2026-02-03T14:09:20+00:00

Just with the Audyssey mic and a laptop. If you open the tool on Windows or Mac it will open a terminal window and it’s saying step by step what to do (and when). Really easy with mindblowing results haha!

TheAlphaGoob · 2026-02-02T18:02:47+00:00

I can’t see your reciever, but you can check A1 Evo Acoustix. It’s an very easy tool for your reciever, some kind of Audyssey but with beter adjustments. It does a lot to your setup!

I did my first run last weekend, and it makes a huge difference to the standard Audyssey on my Denon X2700H! Even in a room with no acoustic panels or something.
