Summary at a Glance

Apple Silicon & Intel Macs can play classic games with the help of Mac Source Ports Mac Source Ports makes it possible to play a variety of old games on your Mac.

The website also offers so-called universal application bundles, meaning that most of the source ports available on the Mac Source Ports website are compatible with both 64-bit Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, effectively making older games playable on a variety of contemporary Mac configurations.

According to the Mac Source Ports website, a source port is "someone's effort to maintain a project derived from the source code to a game."

The creator of Mac Source Ports, however, notes that this would do little more than confuse people and that it would be difficult for Apple to verify that the source port works unless the company's employees have copies of older games — an unlikely scenario.

A key feature of Mac Source Ports is that it offers notarized and signed versions of game source ports.
