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 |

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 D3DMetal on the Wine 11 engine r25, about 46 fps on Medium in the intro on a base M4 with 16 GB, from an external SSD. The reporter also had the DLL overrides d3d12,d3d12core=n,b set and ran the game under Windows 11; whether either matters was not tested.

Before installing anything, it is worth checking whether the game already ships a native Mac build.
Common questions
Does Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales work on Mac?
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales 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.
Which renderer should I use for Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales?
D3DMetal. Highball can translate Direct3D through DXVK, DXMT or Apple's D3DMetal, and the right choice varies by game. The database records D3DMetal for Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Highball uses it automatically when the game has a row; to set it by hand, open Settings, then Environments.
