Modern Warfare 1 keeps crashing on Mac (solved)

Update: I've been experimenting with emulation on Steam Deck and i managed to get MW1 perfectly working on it. No need for a fix anymore, i guess... (how do i delete these posts)

I don't want to be that guy who posts about multiple different problems on here, but this issue has been bothering me for a while now and i can't find a solution anywhere. Every time i try to boot up Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, it only gets past the starting logo and immediately hard crashes both the game and the emulator. I've been trying multiple times to get the game working, and i actually got it working once- all i did was turn off libvdec (i turned it on to get Def Jam: Icon to work). My controller wasn't working so i had to turn it off, and ever since, even with that firmware still off it won't stop crashing. Does the game just not work on my hardware, or is there something i'm missing? I've updated to the latest version, i turned on the option recommended by the wiki, but as of now nothing has worked. I'd appreciate some kind of help.

I use a current-gen MacBook Pro with an Apple M2 Pro chip.
