Highball
Which renderer to use
Highball can run each game through three different Direct3D translation layers. This is what the database knows for this title — empty rows are open questions, not failures.
| Renderer | Verdict | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| DXVKDirect3D 9-11 over Vulkan | Untested | no report yet — send one |
| DXMTDirect3D 11 over Metal | Untested | no report yet — send one |
| D3DMetalApple's Game Porting Toolkit | Untested | no report yet — send one |
No dated Highball run yet. When one lands it records the renderer, the engine build and the macOS version it was seen on — which is what stops a verdict quietly rotting. Send one.
Notes
Both the game and its demo were reported perfect after a short session; renderer used, frame rate and longer play are not recorded yet.
Provenance
Reported twice by pristineeindustries (highball-db#126 for the game and #127 for its demo, 2026-09-18): rated 5, perfect, Apple M3 Pro, macOS 26.6.2, engine x64-sikarugir10.0_6-r3, Highball 0.9.19, about a minute played through Highball each time. Renderer not stated. Not run here.
Before installing anything, it is worth checking whether the game already ships a native Mac build.
Common questions
Does Dice Dice Baby work on Mac?
Dice Dice Baby has no native Mac build, but it is reported to run on Apple Silicon through Highball, a free open-source compatibility layer. This comes from community reports rather than a Highball test run, so treat it as a reasonable expectation rather than a guarantee.
