HighballWhich 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.

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, visuals and audio included, on a base M4 with DXMT on the default engine (r28) in a 3 minute session. Which game this is isn't known yet: Steam has Psalm 2 and Psalm 5:9-13 but no plain Psalm.
Provenance
Reported by xxxtan1 (highball-db#1206, 2026-11-14), Apple M4, macOS 26.6.2, Highball 0.10.26, engine x64-sikarugir10.0_6-r28, DXMT, rated 5 of 5 after 3 minutes: visuals and audio perfect. The report gives no store, and which game this is isn't known. Not verified by the maintainer.
Before installing anything, it is worth checking whether the game already ships a native Mac build.
Common questions
Does Psalm work on Mac?
Psalm 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.
