  2. 02

    If the native build does not run

    Some older Mac ports were never updated past 32-bit and stopped working at macOS Catalina. If that turns out to be the case here — or you need the Windows build for Windows-only mods — Pixel Port runs the Windows version, graded playable on Apple Silicon.
