adrbn's bo2-mac statically recompiles Black Ops II from 32-bit x86 Windows to native ARM64 macOS, using Remill and LLVM with Direct3D 11 translated to Metal and no Wine. The campaign, Zombies and multiplayer against bots all run. The creator reports 51 to 60 fps in the campaign, 57 to 60 in Zombies and 53 to 60 in multiplayer on an Apple M1. It's local only: there's no online play, LAN or co-op, League Play is refused, and the multiplayer match rules are the project's own. The creator also warns of heat, with 111 to 116 °C reported on the M1 in long sessions. It builds on your Mac from your own Steam copy, and the repo holds no game files or translated game code.
