CLUSTER APPLE-NATIVE-PORT · 15 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-09-04

Apple Silicon game recompilations

This cluster consists of native macOS ports of classic games (N64, Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 4) that require user-provided ROMs or game data and run on Apple Silicon via Metal. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from; it predates the index or its members are undated. Among its members, cod4-macos leads with 2 stars, while cod2-silicon and KnifeEdgeRecomp have 0 stars.

Entry timeline

ENTRY TIMELINE

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
