About this port

Builds a native Mac app for Mario Kart World 1.0.0 from your own dump on Apple silicon. The project's own engine runs the game's ARM64 code directly with NVN2 graphics translated to Metal, using its fork of NxNative; this is not an emulator. The README reports that it plays start to finish (menus, Grand Prix, free roam, traffic and movies) at around 58 fps in races on an M1 Max at 2560x1440. There is no packaged release: you build the app from source. No game files are included.

Requires original game files

Requirements

Minimum: Apple silicon Mac with macOS 26 or later, Xcode with the Metal toolchain, .NET 10 and Python 3.12
