I have made a video which will show you how to install sidestore + live container step by step . So you can start sideloading by yourselves. I have linked my video with the post so you can watch it. Make sure to subscribe like and comment if my video helped you
Hey folks — dropping the macOS builds of both Playforge Zombie Farm games as part of THE32BITVAULT revival project. These are the 2010/2012 iOS originals, running natively on modern Macs with AI-upscaled visuals throughout.
Screenshot posted of working game. :)
**GitHub release:** https://github.com/THE32BITVAULT/THE32BITVAULT/releases/tag/Release_Mac
## 🖥️ What you get
* **Zombie Farm** — 340 MB `.dmg`
* **Zombie Farm 2: Reforged Edition** — 1048 MB `.dmg`
Both are native Mac `.app` bundles with the runtime baked in. No sideloading, no JIT gymnastics, no AltStore refresh cycle — download, drag to Applications, launch.
## ✅ Requirements
* macOS 11 Big Sur or later
* Apple Silicon native, Intel via Rosetta
* First launch: **right-click → Open** (ad-hoc signed — Gatekeeper asks once, then leaves you alone)
## 🎨 About the visuals
All textures upscaled 4× using **Real-ESRGAN (x4plus-anime)** — a model trained for stylized 2D art, so it keeps hard edges and solid color regions clean instead of inventing photographic texture the way the general model does.
On the Mac builds specifically, HUD text and font sheets get a second pass through **realesr-general-x4v3** with denoise disabled — that keeps glyph strokes sharp without the ink-bleed the anime model produces on lettering.
Both upscaler choices are stamped in `MANIFEST` files inside every bundle so you can see exactly what ran on what.
Zombie Farm 2 is the chunky one because it shipped with substantially more atlases than the original, and 4× on all of them adds up. Retina desktop displays earn the bytes.

## ❤️ Support
Every revival is free forever. If these gave you back a piece of your iPhone-era, the Ko-fi jar's in the repo README — it funds the next revival, not this one.
Next project will be Zombie Life.
PS. Enjoy :)
