  1. Control works pretty well with #GPTK!

    First time I actually experience a game with raytracing (don't think Death Stranding had it) and it looks really nice.

    To run it, instead of Whisky I'm trying Heroic, heroicgameslauncher.com, which handled downloading it directly from Epic's game store and then made the wine bottle automatically. Convenient!

  3. GPTK2 Is honestly magic, thanks to Heroic Launcher I can quickly install my Epic Games library games and have them up and running quickly with great frame rates at decent graphics quality as well.

    For those interested I also made a custom icon for Heroic to better fit the style of macOS as the default one isn't great in my opinion.

  7. In my timeline I haven't seen a #gptk 2 appreciation post during or since #wwdc24, so here’s mine:

    AVX2 hardware instructions were supposedly “impossible” to emulate, so games like Red Dead Redemption 2 were a non-starter.

    Guess what I am downloading right now?

    Not sure if it will work (something else might cause trouble) but big shoutout to the team that did the impossible, again.

    (If you’re interested, take the easy route: just download Whisky from GitHub, it does support GPTK 2 already).

  9. # Developer relations
    - Speaking of Feedbacks, the system does not work and it's not really worth repeating why. It's just so unfair to ask for #feedback, which takes time, and never even acknowledge it was looked at.
    - Embrace that international regulation has happened and is happening and stop doing embarrassing stuff.

    # tvOS
    - Widgets!

    # Misc
    - Additional improvements to #GPTK, if I'm dreaming, I'd love for the last DirectX games to be compatible.
    - Missing USB-C peripherals

  11. Hades 2 is a fun game, looks stunning and works great with #gptk / #whisky

  13. Apple Silicon is truly a wonder, #GPTK is a marvellous technology and #KenaBridgeofSpirits looks and plays like a great game.

    Yes, I'm really bad at it!

    But consider this as a #Whisky showcase of what's possible in terms of Windows gaming on a M3 Max, on battery with lots of apps in background...

    Game is set to the max resolution possible - 2000 something width - and ultra settings. It stutters sometimes, possibly compiling shaders, so I’ll probably drop the ultra and close Xcode / simulators

  15. Stray if 25% off on Steam for a few more hours if you, like me, just decided that it's time to checkout Apple's Game Porting Toolkit #gptk #stray #steam
