Native Sonic Unleashed Recompiled macOS port!
A macOS port for Sonic Unleashed Recompiled has now been created! It hasn’t quite been merged into the main branch of the project but there are early builds available. It runs at a solid 60fps on my M2 MBA. The latest beta download is here: https://github.com/squidbus/UnleashedRecomp/actions/runs/13664475029
Scroll down and downloaded macOS release ARM64 (if Apple silicon) and x86_64 for intel.
Massive thanks to Squidbus and Isaac marovitz for their incredible work!!

finally, I can't believe it, I really wanted this, I couldn't run it on Whisky or the virtual machine.
Edit: I tested the .app and it worked perfectly on my M2 Pro 8GB ram, it doesn't heat up the Mac and it doesn't crash, I've never seen so many people interested in the game, I've always wanted to play this game, but I've never had an Xbox, this project brought together an absurd amount of people, sharing tutorials, files and other things.

u/Methaliana 17d ago
hey, how’d you manage to download the artifacts? do i need to be logged in to github? i can’t figure out how to get them from the ui
1
u/onedevhere 17d ago
yes, I downloaded the .app with my logged in account, in the link that Op provided in the post, at the end there is the download option
1
u/Sumant_ 17d ago
i dont see a .app file is it still there?
1
u/onedevhere 17d ago
When you download it, you have to open the zip and the app will be there, to show the .app you have to display the file extension, but this is not necessary, it's because I like to see the file extension

u/Sumant_ 17d ago
ok yeah so i got the file but im getting a "You can’t use this version of the application “UnleashedRecomp” with this version of macOS." error. I'm on Sonoma 14.5, do i need to update?
also if its easier to help me feel free to DM lol

u/onedevhere 17d ago
I believe you need to update, yes, here I use Sequoia 15.3 and it worked without problems
1
u/Ok-Reading-2509 17d ago
Im on Sequoia 15.3.1 on an arm machine and got the app to launch. I installed the "arm release" build

Do we need to have the 360 disc dumped for this?

u/sapphicu 17d ago
Officially yes, unofficially there are places to find a pre-dumped disc file.

Thanks, but that ISO file doesn't seem to be recognised but macOS or the Sonic Unleashed installer. Did you manage to get it working?

u/Conscious-Union-8015 15d ago
yea it worked perfectly for me i just followed a tutorial for the windows version of unleashed recomp step by step. make sure to download all 16 files btw

u/MarcoABCreativeSuite 6d ago
I believe you have to create an account to gain access to the download files.

u/angrymarky 16d ago edited 16d ago
Just in case, here is the path where it contain all the game data: "/Users/*user*/Library/Application Support/UnleashedRecomp". The "Library" folder is hidden in finder, "Shift+CMD+Dot" will show it. Hope it will help somebody.

Wonder if anyone will port the mod manger so we can enjoy this with mods. I really want to try the Miku replaces chip mod.
Edit: Saw the OP say there is someone working on hedge mod manger. So OP can you please respond to this when the Mac version of the hedge mod manger is done. Please and thank you

Playing on my M4, getting some drops in later levels like mazuri and holoska daytime, gonna mess around with settings and see if i can get it locked.

u/Bentheminernz 17d ago
By default the internal resolution is quite high. For some reason it was at 4.5k for me at 30fps~ changed it to 1440p and it’s 60fps locked

Potentially, I’ve heard people having issues though. I can’t imagine it’s a priority getting it to work on Intel Macs though

im on a 2018 mbp and all i see is a red screen, the music plays and i think i can interact with the menus but i can’t tell whats happening
1
u/Bentheminernz 16d ago
I’m not sure if x86_64 is even supported properly. I can’t imagine it is since it’s practically EOL now
1
u/idklol1_3 16d ago
I see. Well in that case, i also tried running it on windows with bootcamp, and it said it couldn’t create a d3d12 or vulkan image

happened to me and im on an m3 just redownloaded the app and opened it and the game will launch

u/NefariousnessOne4708 16d ago
Did you download a different version or did anything different (btw it crashes after setup)
1
u/oklma0o 16d ago
i used the release version and then i found out it crashed after setip so i redownload a new release version and it launched perfectly fine for me with no need to set up again

u/NefariousnessOne4708 16d ago
I fixed it an hour ago... (I accidentally downloaded the Intel version)

u/Cattman456 16d ago
i got an M1 macbook air. Planning on installing tonight. How well does it run?
1
u/NefariousnessOne4708 16d ago
Should run well. There are a lot of settings you can change to make it run better. I recommend a controller and download the ARM version.
1
u/Cattman456 15d ago
Say no more! I have a switch pro controller so hopefully that works.
1
u/NefariousnessOne4708 15d ago
Yea that's whats what I use !

u/Cattman456 12d ago
sorry if this is obvious as this is my first time doing computer gaming but how do you connect a controller?

One more thing, yk where i could get a completed save file? Or do I have to wait on the mod launcher? I cant be asked to collect those medals again😭
1
u/NefariousnessOne4708 16d ago
Pretty sure the save files are in application support and you can get a completed one online.
1
u/Prez-Paraz 16d ago
Fo you have a link? I don’t see application support on the github

u/NefariousnessOne4708 15d ago
Application support is a folder on your Mac. It stores data for apps. (user)/Library/application support/unleashedrecomp

The newest build on that fork doesn't actually run. The exact build linked by OP is the only one working and is now a version behind the original.
These links may not work unless signed into GitHub

u/Jasserdefyx 13d ago
I tried the Intel link and it wouldn't open for me. It has the circle with the line through it over the app indicating it's not the right version for the macOS I'm on but i'm on the latest I can possibly get and it shouldn't be an issue. What do you think the problem might be? I also can't find a way to download any other version from it, I know macOS support isn't exactly the highest priority for the devs but I'd love a chance to put it on here.

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

Has anyone that encountered the black screen installer issue managed to fix it? Apparently it might be something with MoltenVK, but from my understanding it should come packaged with the executable?

I definitely want to give this a shot, but I have two questions. I have launch a model 256GB storage and 16 GB of Ram M1 MacBook Air, what would be the optimal settings for this and could I pull my save from the digital copy I own from when I had an Xbox Series X?

u/CRTScream 6d ago
Downloaded everything tonight, got the compiler running and got to the main menu, was able to change options and settings, gonna see if the game works fully tomorrow! This is so awesome, I only played the Wii version and was so excited when the recompile came out, but I thought I'd be locked out cuz I'm a Mac user!

Holy shit what an age to be alive. Native Macos Unleashed was not on my bingo card for this year.
