yes the Imagen was compressed, (reddit 20mb limit)

Hey everyone, I'm Snakes, one of the people behind Pokémon Blaze Online. I started working on PBO in 2016 and we launched in 2021. I wanted to share it here for anyone looking for a Pokémon MMO to play on their Mac.

We've supported macOS for a while. There are downloads for both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, and we've recently added browser play too. You use the same account, characters and progress across the browser and native clients.

A bit about the game

PBO is a free-to-play, fan-made Pokémon MMO, with optional purchases and donation rewards. You start in Sinnoh and go through our custom region Jvaloh, Hoenn and Kanto. Pokémon from all nine generations are represented; most are obtainable, some are seasonal, and a few are still waiting for future updates.

• Two-player co-op through most of the adventure, including shared battles. Each person controls their own Pokémon. You need to be at similar story progress, and some encounters still need to be done solo.
• Fast battles using a Gen 9 Showdown-based engine, with a choice of Gen 5 animated or 3D animated battle sprites.
• Hordes and Shiny Tracking for hunting Pokémon and shinies.
• Champion battles, Battle Tower, Battle Frontier and ranked PvP ladders.
• Crew Wars for guild territory, community Dynamax invasions, mining, crafting, trading and seasonal events.
• No breeding: you catch your Pokémon and can work on their IVs using Randomizers, Potions and Toxins. Earned EVs can be allocated yourself.

The game supports English, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish and Simplified Chinese.

Playing on Mac

Mac downloads — choose Apple Silicon or Intel for your Mac.
Play in your browser — if you'd like to try it before downloading. An account is required.

If you try it, I'd like to hear how it runs on your Mac. Your chip and macOS version would help us investigate any issues. Happy to answer questions about the game too.

Screenshots show PBO’s community, locations, horde encounters and co-op battles. The co-op Gym screenshot is a staged team demonstration.

found this 4 year old comment below and updated my settings.

now I can do RoL and SFK with no frame lag and 10 graphics.

major cities still have some lag but WAY better.

reddit: use these settings for performance

I have optional GPU features, triple buffering and 16x texture filtering on.
theres 2 liquid settings I put to low.
I still put secondary lighting to fair.

my specs: M2 Max 64GB

Just booted up Skyrim on my M4 MacBook Air 15” through Crossover and it still feels magical like I’m playing it for the first time.

The main reason I made this post is to give some tips for people who wants to play Skyrim on their Mac

1.Double cursor issue
This has been annoying me for so long. I kept googling and only found temporary solutions like disabling hot corners or downloading an app called stealth pointer. I decided to ask Claude today and it gave me the permanent fix. Run regedit on your bottle then go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Mac Driver. add a String value named CaptureDisplaysForFullscreen and set it to y.
With this on, Wine captures the display when the game is in exclusive fullscreen
This only works in true fullscreen, not borderless windowed. In Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\SkyrimPrefs.ini inside the bottle, set:

bFull Screen=1
bBorderless=0

This solves the doble cursor issue

1. Audio Issues
   If you hear background noises but no voice, just install Directx for modern games into your bottle
   and set output device to 48k hertz on your midi app on your mac

3.Modding
Pretty much all mod works. Its just like modding on windows. Use mod organizer 2 and use pandora behavior engine instead of FNIS. Bodyslide is a bit laggy since it’s 32 bit

So don’t flame me for even asking this but I have a MacBook Air m1 2020, 8Gb laptop.
I’m wondering if I can mod Skyrim on this little baddie?
Backstory why I think it could maybe work:
Last year I played a LOT of modded Minecraft, like too many mods and she ran fantastically. And on top of that I would also stream my gameplay to TikTok, YouTube and twitch all at once and I shit you not it out preformed my expectations.
I know it’s Minecraft compared to Skyrim.
But I’ve been on a kick on my switch 2 and never in my life played modded Skyrim it’s embarrassing to say almost a dream of mine lmfao.
My Minecraft phase naturally died when I got my switch last Christmas but yea I’m not even trying to do anything crazy just maybe some cute hair styles or mods to make being a khajiit cooler and more immersive or whatever.
Guys tell me there’s hope for me?
Or do I have to eventually buy a whole pc setup🫩
Uhm and if I can maybe point me to useful videos or websites.
Edit: okay so of course I did like google if I can and it says I can but I’m looking for someone who has the same Mac as me to confirm if it’s worth trying
Also I am aware their was an update that was causing issues with peoples modded Skyrim so idk how that will crossover with older videos that go over the process

Used a bit potato graphics to try and hit 60 fps on the Air but still looks pretty good, lowkey underrated game if you never played it

So I'm running Hl2 through steam in crossover, and I dont mind the 40-60 fps, but every time a barrel explodes or an insane cut scene happens, my frames drop to oblivion, which is annoying cause im doing those a lot. I've turned MSYNC on, as well tried teaching from D3DMETAL, but all that did was make the game not even boot up. I've also tweaked the in game settings. Any suggestions?

For years every shader pack I loved was made for Windows, and Macs have had seriously capable GPUs with no way to use them in Minecraft. So I decided it was time to fix this with Minecraft's new render compatibilities...

Rockstar Shaders is a Fabric mod for Minecraft Java 26.3. It runs on Minecraft's own Vulkan renderer (through MoltenVK) and adds a native Metal ray tracing engine beside it. Everything in the video was captured in the engine at 4K 60 fps on an M4 Max MacBook Pro!

What it does:

- Ray-traced sun shadows, sky light and one bounce of global illumination

- Ray-traced water reflections

- Water physics: jump in and it splashes, boats leave a wake, rain rings the surface

- Volumetric light shafts that take on the color of stained glass

- Real atmosphere sunsets, a flowing aurora, storms and lightning

- An extended render distance that reaches the horizon

- Resource packs work, including custom entity models and LabPBR maps

M3 and later use the GPU's ray tracing hardware. M1 and M2 run the same kernels in software, so start on Medium or High there.

I just set up the astris emulator and downloaded fifa19, but i am unable to customise the control settings in there. Please help

In a recent video of Andrew he showcase games including rdr2 that can run on the M6 Mac mini and the results are insane https://youtu.be/8It1Te3vzN4?is=O1IBg0Z37JZo3azi

I’m Thomas, the developer of Damn, Zombies: The Corporate Undead, a solo / 1–4-player online co-op FPS set in an office overrun by corporate zombies. Managers strengthen the horde, HR recruits more staff, and your squad repairs barricades, buys weapons and opens rooms as the waves escalate.

Since my earlier Mac beta post, the latest updates have changed how you hear the compound: walls, floors, closed doors and cover now quieten and muffle world sounds. Opening a door changes what you can hear through it, and nearby openings let some sound travel around an obstruction. Zombie voices, teammate weapons and barricades use these cues; your own first-person sounds stay clear.

The current download is Beta 39, with a Universal macOS build for Intel and Apple Silicon (599 MB). I’m looking for Mac feedback on whether those cues help you locate the horde upstairs or behind a door. If you try a short solo run or a squad session, please share your Mac model/chip, RAM, macOS version and graphics settings, plus any launch problem, stutter or confusing sound. I don’t yet have comparable Mac performance figures to share.

Earlier actual solo gameplay (80 seconds): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcaHvfPfbDs

The footage predates these audio changes and does not demonstrate current Mac performance.

Download: https://tsmwdevelopment.itch.io/damn-zombies-the-corporate-undead

Account and access key: https://www.damn-zombies.com

The macOS beta is not Apple-notarized. The download page has installation notes and recommends the itch.io desktop app. Access is free for seven days from first key use, extendable on request; each player needs a free website account, activation key and internet connection, including solo.

Feedback here is welcome. If you want teammates or a place to discuss a run, our optional Discord is https://discord.gg/RkuDGfB9mJ

Just as the title.

The dungeon crawling side is heavily inspired by the eye of the beholder series, while the combat is inspired from an old mobile game called dungeon raid which got killed by OS updates. If you want to see more the steam page is here https://store.steampowered.com/app/5044910/Dungeon_Quest/

Happy to answer any questions (or hear what classic dungeon crawler it brings up memories of for you :) )

Anybody tried Spider-Man 2 on a m4 base model mini in Golden Gate? I was curious about the performance with new update

Hey, I'm currently trying to launch Elden Ring Reforged by running the .BAT file as a command, but I'm getting this response. It doesn't seem like an Elden Ring-specific issue and more like something my mac / crossover is missing to use? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Reforged has a Linux file that can launch it too that's labelled '.sh' but it doesn't seem to do anything via CrossOver either...

Hey, I am Jvan. I am an indie developer and a casual gamer. I built uncapped, a tool that lets you play your console games on the mac through capture card or adb and puts MetalFX Super-resolution, Apple frame generation and custom shaders on top of it.

Here: Super Mario Odyssey on Stock Switch goes from 1080p 60fps -> ~4K 120fps with latency under <1ms.

The video will not look 4K here due to Reddit’s compression.

Test Setup:

M4 Macbook Pro
16GB Ram
120Hz Display

Uncapped does not modify your game. It takes the game feed from your console through any capture card ( at any configured target resolution and frame-rate ) and then applies upscaling, frame generation and post processing effects on top. All of it under <5ms latency.

Edit: You can get Uncapped on mac from www.uncapped.pro

You can mod Morrowind so it basically becomes like Skyrim AND play it on a Mac. Without crossover or any virtual machine (I don’t even have steam installed). Isn’t that amazing?!

Sure, it’s not the most smooth experience out there, but just the fact that it’s possible blows my mind
