> Macs tend to lack decent GPU

Are you saying the majority of the emulation calculation nowadays are done in a gpgpu fashion in that emulator? For if that's the case, it would be insanely cool.

No, it's more that the consoles they're emulating have GPUs, so they emulate the GPUs with the computers GPU.

So it wouldn't be possible to play PS2 games on my MacBook because it has an integrated Intel Iris Graphics GPU?

It would be possible. An Intel Iris Graphics GPU is good enough for a PS2 emulator.
