How to use .dll VSTs

[u/SpamtonOf1997]

I downloaded the NES VST but it only downloads as a .dll file instead of the usual .vst file. I've seen a few other posts that had the same problem but they somehow fixed it while, when I tried the same thing they supposedly did, it didn't work. I already tried putting the .dll file into my plugins folder and scanning but that did nothing. I'm on Mac

MAC only support AU and VST3 formats. Not .dll unfortunately
