PS3 Syscon on macOS

Hey gang,
Total newb here and would genuinely appreciate any help ...

I've found a number of instructions / tutorials for installing python and running the syscon program on a Windows machine, but I'm on a Mac.

Does anyone know of a step-by-step walk through for installing / running the syscon on a Mac?


Huge thanks!
 
You looking a tutorial how to install and run Python on macOS, not syscon scripts specifically (Python is multiplatform, interpreting language, so the same application in *.py will work on all platforms with interpreter installed).

I have python installed and can run it via PyCharm. But I simply don't know how to launch the sys con program from there. Could use a little walk through.
 
On Windows, You need to associate file extension to specific program. On Linux, the same but not by file extension but MIME type. Or just run it from CMD/PowerShell (Windows) or Terminal (Linux). So I think on macOS, You need invoke terminal too and run target script in similar way like on Linux, i.e "python3 /home/chris/test.py". Unfortunately, I have no idea about macOS environment, never use it, those computers in my opinion aren't worth their price so I always avoiding them.
 
I've made some progress. I have python3 installed with pip and pycharm. I can successfully execute the syscon python script, but it prompts me for a COM port. My understanding is that Macs do not have COM ports. So I am once again stuck.

Anyone have any advice?
 
Hey there, I wrote this tutorial a while ago for Mac OS. Let me know if it helps you. Also worth mentioning that some commands won't show the entire output for some reason. For example, you may need to press enter multiple times after inputting the "errlog" command to see the full error log in the terminal.

Also credit to @RIP-Felix for his Windows syscon tutorial, which helped me connect the dots in Mac OS.
