Recomp / Games / Windows

bo2-mac

Static recompilation of Black Ops II's three 32-bit Windows executables (campaign, Zombies and multiplayer) to native ARM64 macOS, lifting x86 through Remill to LLVM IR and linking a hand-written Win32 runtime that draws Direct3D 11 through Metal. Each player builds the app on their Mac from their own Steam copy; beta, multiplayer is against bots.
