I ported (Vibecoded) Need for Speed: Carbon (PC) to run natively on M-series Macs using static recompilation: the game's x86 code is translated ahead of time and compiled for Apple Silicon, with a Metal renderer. Built on recomp-kit and the NFS Most Wanted Mac port by elforeign

-Runs natively with Game mode support

-Supports Dualsense, Xbox and Switch pro controllers with custom layout and button icons

-Widescreen Fixes

-Custom icon made from Game files you bring

How: download the Setup app, choose your game folder, click Build. It makes the app from your own copy. No game files are included or downloaded.

Needs: your own PC copy, v1.4 with an unwrapped (no-DVD) NFSC.exe. The Setup app isn't notarized, so the first time use System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.

To Add:

-HD UI mod

-Extra options mod

which can be downoaded and installed during setup one click

KMRP 1.5 is out. It makes KOTOR 1 fit a modern screen and play with a controller: one installer, one click, and one click to undo everything. It changes how the game looks, fits and controls, and nothing about its story, quests or balance.

What is new since 1.0

• No resolution to choose. 1.0 had 48 fixed resolutions and you picked one in the installer. Now the game starts at your display's own resolution, and its Screen Resolution setting lists every size and refresh rate your display supports. A change takes effect at once, with no restart and no patching again.
• Any size from 800x600 to 8K, in every shape from 4:3 to 32:9. 66 common resolutions have menus built for them, and any other size gets menus fitted to it.
• Controller support, built in. A controller works on every screen, with the right button pictures for your pad (Xbox or PlayStation), rumble and a Controller Layout screen.
• Xbox-style HUD, modelled on the console version. On by default, can be switched off.
• Above 60 FPS. An option installs D3M0's High FPS Fixes, and the installer switches it on by itself when your display runs above 60 Hz.
• macOS version. The Steam game, on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, with its own installer.
• swkotor.exe is no longer rewritten. On Windows the changes are applied in memory each time the game starts, through KOTOR Patch Manager's runtime. If you use KOTOR Patch Manager, KMRP's two patches are listed there and other patches can be added beside them.
• HD item icons as an option (JackInTheBox's icon pack and MadDerp's party portraits, with their permission).

What it fixes

• Readable text with properly scaled list rows
• Inventory, Abilities and Store icons and rows scale correctly
• Item stack counts stay visible with larger fonts, in the inventory and in shops
• Popups and check boxes grow with the screen
• The crash from long item descriptions, along with several rare crashes
• The area map fills its frame, fog of war covers the whole map, and markers are clicked where you see them
• The HUD minimap follows your character
• Movies play at the game's resolution, with no switch to 640x480, and are not cropped on wide screens

Platforms

Platform	Supported
Windows	Steam, GOG and disc 1.03. The installer checks the game's file first and refuses any other build
macOS	The Steam game, Intel and Apple Silicon, macOS 10.13 or later
Linux	The Windows installer was tested on Ubuntu with Proton. No Steam Deck was tested

Installation

1. Install other content mods (K1CP, K1R and so on) first.
2. Start the game once so its settings file exists.
3. Run the KMRP installer and press Start Patching.
4. To undo everything, run it again and press Restore Original.

On the Mac, KMRP is not signed by an Apple developer account, so macOS asks you to allow it the first time. The steps are in the Mac player guide.

Screenshots

• Inventory, original beside KMRP at 1080p
• Inventory, ultrawide at 3440x1440
• In the game at 4K
• Xbox-style HUD
• Controller button pictures on the menus

Tested, and not

• Windows: the Steam game at 3440x1440, with and without the controller patch.
• macOS: the Steam game on Apple Silicon and on Intel.
• Linux: Ubuntu with Proton. No Steam Deck.
• Other mods: KMRP 1.0 was tested with K1CP 1.10.0 and K1R 1.2. Install those first, then KMRP.

If something looks wrong at your resolution, a screenshot and the resolution in a comment or a GitHub issue is the fastest way to get it fixed.

No Audio but it does it's thing. Settings in the end. And the Videoquality itself is bad. Not the game.

After hours and hours since the Beta came out. Now everything works perfect for me. Stable FPS wonderful graphics in my opinion. Here is a video of my settings if somebody with this Macbook needs help.

I have my Macbook Air m3 connected to a 55" 4K Phillips TV. The TV is in PC Mode not Game Mode. Im using an usb-c to hdmi adapter that does NOT run 4k but it does run 60 hz. And an 1TB SSD where WoW is installed on. The Display settings on the mac are: Only 1920x 1080 instead of the TVS 3800 x whatever. My Macbook air is about 3cm above the table sitting on 4, 3 cm high wodden things in the corner of my Macbook. So the Air can flow underneath the Macbook. The screen is always dark/off and the Macbook is always open so it does not overheat. And my Macbook is under a open Window where cool air always gets in.

It may sound like a lot and maybe to much to do for some people to play a game that looks like "that" but man i think it looks and feels GOOD now!

EDIT: The shadows are normlly on middle settings not low. So the fake moonlight does not shine trough the mountains

Maybe it was already obvious but if you bought RDR2 or GTA on Rockstar launcher instead of Steam you can still use NotProton, simply add Launcher.exe as non steam game and set properties in Steam then just click play, feels almost like you're playing on windows with how easy it is

Hey r/macgaming, I'm back with a quick follow-up to let you all know that Overwatch now supports MetalFX upscaling with Recall! For those who haven't seen my last post, Recall is a free and open-source project for playing Overwatch on Apple Silicon.

I spent all day yesterday playing around with MetalFX upscaling and it really has helped make the Overwatch on Mac experience feel even smoother which I know will especially help non-Pro Macs and/or older M-series Macs. I'm excited for you all to try it out and look forward to hearing your thoughts! For more details on how MetalFX upscaling works in Recall, you can check that out here.

Download Recall Here: https://github.com/AsherJN/recall

You can skip past everything below, but on a side note if you'll bear with me...

I just want to say, THANK YOU for all of your support!

I made my previous post with zero expectations and just wanted to share something cool that could potentially help other Overwatch players, and i have to say that I am still utterly astonished by how overwhelmingly positive this community has been. Even cooler, people actually took a leap and tried it for themselves and the success stories from it have been surreal to me. I think one of my favorites is this comment on a MacBook Neo Recall experience! I cannot tell you how large my grin is when I read these comments.

Recall has passed 1,000 downloads (insane!), and you all have been incredibly helpful in providing performance reports, enhancement requests, and attention to bugs over the past week. You all have certainly been keeping me busy and in that time, I’ve launched 3 new releases to address many of these user requests and have many more in the pipeline. To highlight some updates, Recall added macOS Game Mode, improved graphics prep, expanded controller support, ultrawide monitor compatibility, better bluetooth/airpods audio support, MetalFX upscaling support, and so much more. Special shoutout to those who have especially been active on the GitHub repo and helping make Recall better, it's cool flipping through the release notes and seeing all the people credited who contributed to these ideas/improvements.

With all that said, i just want to say once again, thank you :)

I have so many ideas for where Recall could go (and maybe games it could expand to 👀) and I’d love for you all to be a part of that! If you have an idea, identified an issue, or just wanna chat, you can reach me in the GitHub discussions or DM me.

Appreciate y’all <3

Pets Therapy - Desktop Pets took over my screen fully. 😀 No can do, it's cuteness overload.

Hi everyone, I'm developing a roguelike deck-builder in the style of Balatro but about Sushi, the core loop of the game is collecting ingredients, tools and sauces to create the highest scoring sushi you can and reach day 25 to complete the run and unlock more stuff :)

I mentioned the ingredient synergies in the title and an example would be like:
- Rice: x2 Flavour to every Topping if the sushi contains a Nori
- Shrimp: +30 Flavour for every ingredient currently in your hand
I found that with those kind of synergies you can find a lot of cool combinations, for instancy my brother is obsessed with a full shrimp build + a sauce which let's you draw 5 more ingredients to the hand :D

You can play the DEMO right now on Steam:

If you like it feel free to wishlist it, it helps a lot!

Happy to answer any question or curiosity about the game or the development of it :)
