NEW SIDELOAD METHOD IS AMAZING! M1 Mac Widescreen + KB/Mouse – Genshin Impact PlayCover macOS 11.5.1

EDIT: New tutorial with SIP ENABLED for Genshin Impact 2.3.0 using PlayCover 0.9.5 on a M1 Max chip is here: https://youtu.be/TMjCMKJXe6E

This is a brand new revolutionary sideloading method utilising the software PlayCover, developed by user iVoider. This allows full widescreen, mouse and keyboard support for games like Genshin Impact, which do not have a native macOS version. The most successful previous method to play this game on the M1 Mac was to downgrade to macOS 11.2.3, however PlayCover allows us to play the game on macOS 11.5.1 as well as on Monterey.

Full written instructions on how to install PlayCover is on AppleGamingWiki and will be kept up to date for future releases: https://www.applegamingwiki.com/wiki/PlayCover

Future versions will incorporate decryption of apps as well as Intel app support, I will be keeping my eye on when those features are fully developed!
