macOS Compatibility

Method Rating Notes
Rosetta 2 Perfect Runs Fine on medium 75% Res 1650x1050 (45-60FPS)(M1). Crashes within a minute of reaching the main menu in macOS Ventura (not an issue in macOS Monterey or prior, or in macOS Sonoma).
Compatibility layer
CrossOver Perfect Runs better than native, has in-game music and videos and all the voicelines. Very playable with Crossover 24.0.3
Wine Unknown
Virtualization
Parallels Runs Renders nearly flawlessly, but FPS too low to be playable.[1]
