Another option is to create a virtual machine (VM) on your MAC and install a Windows operating system. This will allow you to run Sonic P-06 within the VM:
Solution: Sonic P-06 does not support these features. Only standard buttons and analog sticks are supported. Use the Steam Input workaround mentioned above to map touchpad clicks to the “Start” button.

Best current advice:
The native Mac port does not include the original game’s assets (for copyright reasons). You must provide them from a legitimate copy of Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) for PS3 or Xbox 360. Another option is to create a virtual machine
Without these assets, the game will not run.
Wine and Crossover are compatibility layers that allow running Windows applications on macOS. You can try using one of these solutions to run Sonic P-06 on your MAC: Without these assets, the game will not run
On the GitHub releases page, find the file named something like:
Sonic.p06.v4.5c.macOS.zip
You won't find this on the App Store. The most reliable source for the macOS (Apple Silicon/Intel) builds is usually the official Sonic Unleashed Recompiled GitHub page or their Discord server.
Direct Link Tip: Head to the Sonic Unleashed Recompiled GitHub Releases page. While the main project focuses on Unleashed, the infrastructure supports the P-06 modules as they are released.
