Pokémon Brilliant Diamond
A 3D remake of the classic Nintendo DS role-playing game where players explore the Sinnoh region to catch, train and battle various creatures.
An experimental unofficial Mac port via NxNative has upstream-reported Mac testing. Testing covered the opening sequence from a fresh save through the language menu, character creation, Twinleaf Town movement, Route 201, and Verity Lakefront. It included movement and collision checks at 60 fps, autosave verification, and extended runs of up to 90 minutes. Full game reliability remains unverified as battles and late-game areas were not tested. Intermittent Core Audio callback stalls occurred during long sessions, and potential physics issues at high frame rates beyond the initial areas have not been ruled out. iOS performance is currently untested. Requires Apple silicon and macOS 26.6 or later. Not an official Mac release.
