No emulator needed: Blasphemous 2 runs natively on the Apple chip. How nxnative compares with emulators
Running through nxnative
How Blasphemous 2 runs
Blasphemous 2 plays on the Mac at its 60 fps target. Tested through a new game, the opening cinematic with subtitles, waking up, moving to the weapon room, healing, picking up the Veredicto, jumping and swinging the weapon. The iPhone app is about 1.5 GB, but it has not been tested on a device.
How it runs
nxnative runs this Unity game with no game-specific changes to its code. Frames stay close to the 60 fps mark, sound plays without dropouts, and memory held steady at about 2.3 GB in the opening rooms.
On the Mac, the opening cinematic stops if the game window loses focus, while menus keep working. Keep the window in front until it has played.
Bring update 1.0.8
Tested with update 1.0.8. Put it in the same folder as the base game before you Pack. The add-on content package is only a licence, as its content is already part of the update; the add-on campaign itself has not been played.
Controls
The Packed app starts in the 2D touch layout, which covers everything the game needs: move with the stick or D-pad, B to jump, Y to attack, X to heal.
Good to know
- Only the opening was checked. Combat encounters, later areas and loading a save are untested.
Known issues
- On the Mac, keep the game window in front during the opening cinematic. The game pauses it when the window loses focus.
- It has not yet been played on iPhone or iPad.
Packing command
Run this in your nxnative folder on the Build Mac. Replace the game folder and the keys path with your own. Add --platform mac-app to get a Mac app instead of an iPhone and iPad app.
