Description
Playing Windows games on an M-series Mac usually means wrangling Wine, D3DMetal and DXVK, then still guessing whether a game runs and which renderer to use. Highball sets up the environment in one go, logs into Steam or connects Epic, and picks the renderer per game from an open compatibility database.
The CC0 database records verified runs, per-game renderer verdicts and a kernel anti-cheat blocklist, so you can check a game before downloading it. The app is free and open source for macOS 14+ on Apple silicon.
One-button setup:Installs Rosetta if needed, downloads the engine and prepares Windows.
Steam and Epic:Sign into Steam or connect your Epic library.
Per-game renderer:Chooses DXMT, DXVK or D3DMetal from the database.
Open database:Browsable online, with anti-cheat blocklist and provenance.
Verified engines:Built from pinned, SHA-256-verified upstream releases.
