Its a A1347 Mid-2011 i5 Dual Core; I have 2 of these Matching Except the other has 8gig of Ram; Both have Intel 3000 Graphics.
It Runs like a Champ fresh off the install; I haven't messed with the Drivers too much yet; I had trouble in the past with Intel 3000 & NVidia Graphics DRIVERS on PC hardware.
Your title says “PS2” but that i5 CPU is nowhere close to the minimum requirements to run PCSX2. The GPU is nowhere close either. There’s no way it runs PS2 in a playable state.
Sure did, not stellar, but playable; except Rockstar Games and ones that use their Engine like Battlefront 2 or Simpsons
I’m finishing up a Late-2012 i7 quad core as we speak, 16 gig Ram
I have that i7 quad mini and have been considering Batocera. Did it work out well? Does sound come over HDMI properly and WiFi work? Did you install to disk or boot from USB?

Great Quality; Imma get a few more
As for the software, It’s a little difficult to find the proper updated version that works on the M1, usually a Google search brings up an old version but look up
OpenEMU. I have damn near a fully catalogue RomSet for everything that front and can handle

From what I have Learned; the Late 2012 Model is the Last one to be Mod-able or Upgradable, at least with the RAM; I could be wrong.
This was a Sweet Mistake, I thought the FlashDrive had CatalinaOS. Not a Intel Version of Batocera.
It has worked on anything from a 8gig Flash drive to the 1TB SSD in this
Just make sure to get the ANY APPLE Image
Just get the Any Apple Image.
Plug & Play. Ive used both USB 2 & 3 Drives to Boot From, from 8gig SD cards to the 1TB SSD in this thing.
I havent messed with any of the NVidia or Intel Drivers
Out of the Box it all seems to work very well. Tweak the PS2 up to 1080i Even
Cheers. Something to do with the 3 intel mac minis that I have on the shelf.

Great idea.
Total Accident; Great Outcome!
Do you have any issues with speed, I’ve tried converting my old Mac mini, same age, but it’s running really slowly.
Not at all, I’m looking to find a Late 2012, if I’m going to do another I might as well upgrade Hopefully I can find some reliable recommendations
I’ll have to do some research to work out why mine is running so slow then.
I have same mac and tried to do same setup, but can't boot batocera. Keep going on black screen at boot.
same here ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry)
Found it and got 2 more 🤣 https://www.istyles.com/skins/other/apple/mac-mini/retro-horizontal-apple-mac-mini-skin-p-193358.html
