Updated Apple's game porting tool
Apple's game porting tool converts DirectX 12 to Metal 3 in real time. Gaming Porting Tool , which is in beta version 1.0.2 , is a tool that can be downloaded not only for developers who want to test Windows games on macOS, but also for users who want to play Windows games on Mac.
According to the tests carried out,Apple M2 Ultraand Mac computers with M1 Ultra processors, the tool gives lower performance, while it works more efficiently on Macs with older processors such as the M1 Max. For example; In the Cyberpunk game, the Mac with the M2 Ultra processor gets 18 FPS , while the Mac with the M1 Max processor gets 40 FPS . Another popular game, Elder Ring, runs at 32 FPS (26 FPS before the update). A few games that are not compatible with the vehicle, such as Horizon Zero Dawn and Residen Evil 2, also perform at a playable level.
The Apple game porting tool, designed for developers to test their games and determine whether to port them to the Mac platform, can be downloaded from the Apple Developer site. It uses Terminal commands to install and only works on Macs with Apple silicon processors with macOS Sonoma beta.
