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 |

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
Reported perfect on the default engine after 10 minutes. The reporter did not say which graphics mode. Online play is the whole game, so the report covers that unless the reporter says otherwise. No measurement here yet.
Provenance
Reported by chinaitechs (highball-db#26, 2026-09-13): Apple M5 Pro, macOS 26.6.2, Highball 0.9.9, engine x64-sikarugir10.0_6-r2, rated 5 of 5 after 10 minutes. Graphics mode not stated. Not verified by the maintainer.
Before installing anything, it is worth checking whether the game already ships a native Mac build.
Common questions
Does eFootball work on Mac?
eFootball 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.
